25+ Year Landscaping & Snow Removal Business w/ Loyal Clients
Business Description
This well-established lawncare and snow removal business has been serving a loyal residential client base in McHenry County for over 25 years. The company generates over $1 million in annual revenue with consistent profitability, backed by long-standing seasonal contracts for lawn maintenance, landscape enhancement, and snow removal. A key revenue driver is its concentrated, community-based service model—approximately 90% of its business comes from one large residential community—making scheduling and operations highly efficient. The business currently services 224 recurring snow contracts and offers structured full-season lawncare packages.
The company operates with a lean team of 9 employees and one key contractor, all experienced in delivering high-quality service with minimal supervision. Despite having no online presence or advertising, the business continues to thrive solely on word-of-mouth and strong client retention.
Included in the sale is a full fleet of trucks, trailers, and commercial-grade landscaping equipment, along with a low-overhead facility setup.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey operation with predictable cash flow, growth potential through basic marketing, and deep roots in one of the region’s most desirable residential markets.

- Facilities & Assets
- FF&E Overview: The sale includes a comprehensive package of FF&E with a forced liquidation value of $51,000. Assets include a fleet of four Ford F-350 Super Duty dump bed trucks, multiple enclosed and open trailers, commercial-grade mowers (including Exmark and Lesco units), Stihl landscaping tools (hedge trimmers, string trimmers, blowers, and edgers), snowblowers, snow plows, aerators, generators, and fertilizer spreaders. The equipment is well-suited for year-round property maintenance and has been maintained in average working condition.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The lawncare and snow removal industry in McHenry County is highly fragmented, with numerous small operators — many of which are unlicensed or uninsured, this landscaping company stands out by offering a fully insured, professional service backed by structured seasonal contracts and a highly loyal customer base.
- Opportunities for Growth
- This lawn care company is a strong, profitable business with untapped potential for expansion. Despite generating over $1 million in annual revenue, the owner has never invested in a website, social media, or any form of marketing. The company operates with zero digital presence — creating a major opportunity for a new owner to build online visibility, implement local SEO, and leverage digital advertising to drive new leads.
