About the Business
Yard by Yard is a long‑established, highly regarded tree services and vegetation management business servicing Townsville and the wider North Queensland region. Operating for 11 years under the same ownership, the business has built a strong reputation for delivering safe, professional and technically skilled work across commercial, civil, government and residential sectors. Its consistent performance, reliable service standards and high‑quality equipment make it a trusted provider for clients who require fast turnaround, compliance and technical capability.
The business offers a full suite of vegetation management services including hazard tree removal, pruning, stump grinding, land clearing, cyclone clean‑up, powerline‑adjacent work and tree assessments. Yard by Yard is equipped to undertake complex, high‑risk and restricted‑access jobs that many operators cannot service. This capability is supported by a well‑maintained fleet including EWPs, Vermeer chippers, a stump grinder and a 10m tip truck, all unencumbered and ready for immediate use.
A major 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 year commercial contract with a multinational tier‑one contractor provides strong revenue stability and a reliable forward pipeline. The business also services Australian Federal Government departments, national construction and mining companies, real estate managers, insurance contractors and private clients. This breadth of relationships ensures steady demand and positions the business as a preferred supplier for high‑value, repeat work.
Operationally, Yard by Yard is streamlined and efficient, currently profitable even while operating at only three “on‑the‑tools” days per week. This structure provides lifestyle flexibility while still delivering strong financial performance. A motivated new owner can easily scale by increasing weekly operating hours, adding additional crews, expanding service coverage or targeting residential, insurance and council work. Enquiry levels and regional demand continue to grow, creating clear pathways for expansion.
The business includes a strong digital presence with established branding, website and online footprint. All plant and equipment is in excellent condition, and the owner is willing to provide transition support to ensure a smooth handover.
With its long trading history, major contract, strong asset base and proven profitability, Yard by Yard represents a compelling opportunity for an operator seeking a well‑established, contract‑ready business in a growing regional market.
