Cook County, IL
This highly respected commercial landscape maintenance and snow & ice management company has built a dominant position within its market through more than five decades of continuous operation and long-standing municipal, commercial, and industrial relationships.
Founded in 1971 and strategically repositioned under current ownership as a purely commercial operation, the company generates 100% of its revenue from contracted B2B and government accounts — eliminating the volatility and collection challenges commonly associated with residential services.
The business operates on a highly predictable recurring-revenue model supported by one-to-five-year maintenance agreements, diversified customer relationships, and year-round operations spanning both landscape maintenance and winter snow management services.
With no dedicated sales force, the company has achieved its scale almost entirely through reputation, performance, and client retention — presenting a substantial upside opportunity for a growth-oriented buyer.
A significant owned fleet of dual-purpose trucks, loaders, skid steers, plows, and snow equipment supports operations across both seasonal divisions, maximizing equipment utilization and minimizing idle capital investment.
The company is supported by an experienced workforce with strong retention, a stable operational structure, and sellers committed to ensuring a smooth ownership transition through extensive post-sale training and support.
This opportunity is exceptionally well suited for strategic acquirers, regional operators, private equity-backed consolidators, or entrepreneurs seeking a scalable platform business with durable recurring revenue and strong infrastructure already in place.
