Share on Reddit Business Description
Established irrigation installation and repair business serving San Diego County since 2019. Owner-operated, home-based, and fully mobile — no facility lease, low overhead. Revenue has grown 64% over three years to $82,552 in 2025, with Seller's Discretionary Earnings of ~$29,400.
The core competitive advantage is specialized technical expertise in irrigation systems that most general contractors cannot match — the Business consistently wins complex jobs others turn away, commands strong pricing, and receives referrals from competitors who lack the capability. These skills are fully teachable and the Seller is committed to training a buyer to perform this work independently.
Included in the sale: a 2023 Ford E-Transit (all-electric, custom-outfitted), an owned work truck (~$20K, debt-free), field equipment, and a transferable digital lead engine — an established website and well-reviewed Google, Yelp, and Nextdoor profiles that generate inbound leads largely on autopilot. Current demand exceeds single-operator capacity; the Business regularly turns work away.
Seller is retiring after decades in the trade and is committed to a thorough handover, including hands-on training, customer introductions, and a mutually agreed transition period.

- Facilities & Assets
- No facility lease — business operates home-based and mobile. Included assets: 2023 Ford E-Transit (all-electric) van, custom-outfitted with shelving and storage (~$30,000 value, ~$20,000 financing that buyer may assume or seller will retire at closing); owned work truck (~$20,000, debt-free); field equipment and tools used in daily operations; business brand, phone number, goodwill, and transferable customer base.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The Business specializes in technically demanding irrigation installation and repair work that most general contractors cannot perform. This expertise is the core competitive advantage — enabling stronger pricing and consistent referrals from competitors who lack the capability. Critically, the skills are teachable, and the Seller is committed to fully training a qualified buyer to perform this work independently.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Revenue has grown 64% over the last three years with no additional marketing spend. Current demand already exceeds single-operator capacity — the Business regularly turns work away. A buyer can grow immediately by adding a technician to capture declined jobs, introducing recurring seasonal maintenance agreements, or modestly scaling the existing digital lead engine that already converts. The infrastructure and reputation are in place; the growth constraint is simply labor.
