LANDSCAPING AND MAINTENANCE BUSINESS FOR SALE - operating throughout the UK.

Ernest Wilsons are pleased to present to the market this exceptionally profitable landscaping and maintenance business. The company has built an outstanding reputation and delivers a wide range of annual contracted services for several national clients, along with a direct contract for a London Borough Council. These high value, repeat contracts provide a robust and reliable income stream throughout the year. For several years, our client delivered council-related works as a subcontractor through a major national landscaping organisation. Securing this new direct contract has given the business the confidence to phase out costly arrangements for equipment and vehicles and, through economies of scale, instead invest in its own plant, machinery, and fleet. These investments are expected to generate annual cost savings in excess of £80,000.

Management Accounts to January 2026 show a gross annual turnover of £472,758 and adjusted net profits of approximately £45,000. Turnover for the 2026 period is forecast to remain at a similar level, however, thanks to the substantial cost savings described above, net profits are projected to increase significantly to around £120,000. The company also acts as a trusted support partner to major national landscaping firms, providing skilled, experienced personnel equipped with tools and operating from non liveried vehicles. These services are typically supplied to cover staff shortages, temporary labour requirements, specialist one off projects, or work falling outside the scope of a client’s normal operations. By nature, these assignments are ad hoc but occur regularly across the year.

In addition, the business undertakes direct work for a London Borough Council involving seasonal grass cutting using multiple commercial ride on mowers, several teams, and supplementary winter tasks including hedge trimming, epicormic growth removal, and canopy lifting up to two metres for overhanging branches or shrubbery. There remains considerable opportunity to expand the volume of landscaping services provided to the Council in future seasons.
