All jobs are located in a triangulate area between Highett, Chelsea, and Dandenong (the majority in Noble Park/Springvale). However, there are plenty of opportunities to expand if desired!
Potential
This business has been a secondary priority while I focused on university and family, with subcontractors handling most work ($20K/year in expenses) and new job requests turned down to maintain a 3-day workweek. A new owner who fully commits can instantly cut costs, maximize profitability, and scale by taking on more work or handling jobs solo. Since finishing my studies in November, I’ve allowed more work through, significantly boosting revenue - showing its strong growth potential.
Skills
No skills or qualifications required, experience is a plus, but the most important thing is being physically up to the task.
Hours
Typical hours are 8am - 3pm weekdays, 20-25 hours per week as things are currently set up.
Reason for Sale
I've completed my course and would like to gain experience in more relevant fields.
About the Business
This is a low-effort, high-reward lawn mowing business specializing in residential push mowing. Most jobs are quick and easy - nature strips, small common areas, and a handful of larger sites (about 2 hours solo).
High hourly rate: Earn $90–$100 per hour with minimal effort.
Reliable, year-round income: The vast majority of clients stay on a 3-weekly schedule, even in winter, meaning consistent cash flow.
Optimized client list: No low-value clients - everyone pays fairly for quality service.
Flexible workload: Currently operated part-time (2 days with two people or 3-4 days solo), with room for immediate expansion.
Huge Growth Potential
This business has been a secondary priority for years, run mainly to cover bills while studying. New work requests have been turned down, and $20K per year has gone to subcontractors. A motivated owner can:
Instantly cut costs by completing jobs solo.
Take on new clients - demand is high!
Expand services (landscaping, pressure cleaning, chemical treatments etc.) for extra income.
Since finishing studies in November 2023, I’ve taken on more work (no advertising, just taking offers that come in), significantly boosting revenue, proving this business’s potential when fully prioritized.
What’s Included?
All necessary equipment (mowers, blowers, trimmers, hedge cutters, chainsaw, ride-on mower, and trailer) – valued at $10,000.
Optional vehicle: 2019 Toyota Hilux Workmate (80,000km, new clutch Oct 2024) – available for $20,000.
This business is perfect for someone wanting a career change, a young entrepreneur ready to build something great, or an existing gardener looking to expand!
History
D & M Gardening was built from the ground up in the early 2000's. I took over in 2019, maintaining its strong reputation while also weeding out lower value clients - i.e., ones who expect/demand more work for less pay - and replacing them with higher value ones. Success has been found in its longevity, adaptability, and potential for the next owner.
