Reason for Sale
I'm looking to semi-retire and get off the tools. The business is profitable, fully systemised and trading well — this is a lifestyle decision, not a response to any decline in the business. I'm committed to a genuine, handover and will provide full transition support so the new owner can step in with confidence.
About the Business
A profitable, fully systemised garden maintenance and landscaping business servicing around 100 recurring residential and body corporate clients across Melbourne's inner south-eastern suburbs.
WHAT IT DOES
Scheduled garden maintenance forms the recurring base — mowing, edging, pruning, hedging, weeding, garden bed care, seasonal clean-ups and green waste removal. Alongside this sits higher-margin project work: garden renovations and rejuvenations, soft landscaping, planting, irrigation repairs, and bed and soil improvement.
THE CLIENTS
A premium residential client base plus body corporate work, concentrated across Melbourne's inner south-east. Clients are long-standing and on recurring schedules with forward bookings in place — genuinely repeat income, not one-off jobs won and re-won each month.
WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE
Runs are consolidated into four geographic days, keeping travel time down and margins up. Rates have recently been reviewed and repriced across the book. The business runs on documented systems rather than in the owner's head: ServiceM8 holds complete client, property, pricing and job history; Xero handles accounting; and written SOPs cover pricing methodology, payment terms, debtor management and materials procurement, with trade accounts established.
WHY IT'S A GOOD INVESTMENT
A new owner steps into established cash flow from day one, with clients, schedules, systems and supplier relationships already in place. Clear upside through additional staff, further route optimisation, client upsells, and expanding the project work — which carries materially better margins than maintenance alone.
INCLUDED
Goodwill and client base, business name and brand, marketing channels,
Hyundai iLoad van and a double full set of battery-powered EGO equipment. Experienced contractors available to continue under the new owner.
Suits an owner-operator, an existing gardening or landscaping business seeking instant territory growth, or a buyer wanting a recurring-income service business with systems already in place.
Genuine handover and transition support offered. Enquiries under confidentiality.
History
The business was founded five years ago and has grown from a one-man operation into a fully systemised business with contractors and a documented operating model. Growth has come from referrals & reputation + some small marketing — built on reliability, consistent quality and long-term client relationships. The past year has focused on professionalising the operation: repricing the book, consolidating runs geographically, documenting SOPs, and moving scheduling and invoicing into ServiceM8.
