This long-standing hard landscaping and design business, operating since 2016, specialises in high-quality garden transformations in Berkshire.
With over 15 years of industry experience, the business has built a strong reputation for craftsmanship, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
The company offers a comprehensive range of services, including garden design, garden buildings, paving installation, driveway and patio installation, fencing, and groundwork. Its focus is on delivering tailored designs and high-quality workmanship to create lasting, visually appealing outdoor spaces for residential clients.
The customer base primarily consists of homeowners seeking one-off landscaping projects, ranging from small renovations to complete outdoor makeovers. While there are no formal contracts, the business benefits from repeat clients and strong referrals due to its excellent reputation and attention to detail.
Alongside its landscaping services, the business also operates a grab lorry and holds both a working operator’s license and an environmental agency waste management license. While currently utilised for in-house projects, this aspect of the business presents an additional revenue stream for third-party waste removal and aggregate delivery services. Established contracts with waste transfer stations, recycling centres, and aggregate supply sites are already in place, further enhancing its service offerings.
Additionally, the company has approved installer accreditations with several leading industry manufacturers, reinforcing its credibility and commitment to quality.
Flexible Purchase Options
The business is now available under flexible purchasing arrangements to suit different buyers:
Full Business with Grab Lorry: ideal for someone with an HGV licence or an interest in maintaining the existing in-house waste handling model, with scope to expand into third-party grab hire.
Landscaping Business Only (Excluding Grab Lorry): for buyers focusing solely on the design and landscaping arm, the business can be acquired without the grab lorry. Financials will be adjusted accordingly to reflect this.
Grab Lorry Only: a viable standalone acquisition for those looking to enter or expand in the waste removal and aggregate delivery sector, supported by existing infrastructure, licences, and supplier relationships.
With low overheads and proven success, this is an ideal turnkey opportunity for an individual or business looking to expand in the landscaping and garden design sector. The current owner is willing to assist with the transition.
This home-based business operates with low overheads, ensuring high profitability and flexibility. Run by a husband-and-wife team, the husband oversees on-site projects, while the wife manages finance, administration, and customer relations. The business has no full time employees but does have a self employed full time member of the team in addition to utilising subcontractors as needed, allowing for scalability while keeping fixed costs low.
Serving Reading and surrounding areas, the business has built a strong reputation, competing effectively with both small and large firms.
All work is completed on-site at client locations, creating an efficient and profitable model. The business also has access to a large, secure premises with an HGV operating license, with a lease that can be terminated with two months' notice.
This is an excellent opportunity for an individual or company looking to expand in the landscaping sector with an established and trusted brand.
There is strong demand for high-quality landscaping services, and increasing marketing efforts through online ads, social media, and local promotions could boost enquiries.
Expanding beyond Reading and hiring additional staff or subcontractors would allow the business to take on more projects. Extending operating hours to weekends would increase revenue, with no restrictions on working hours at the current location.
Offering additional services like garden maintenance, artificial grass, bespoke outdoor structures, and commercial landscaping could attract new clients.
