This is a profitable opportunity to purchase a long-standing garden design and maintenance business based in Kent. The business has an excellent reputation with a loyal and secure client base and an extremely high retention rate.

The business covers the Bromley/Chislehurst/Croydon and Purley areas and is engaged in the following services: garden maintenance – lawn mowing/cutting hedges and shrubs/jet washing/turfing /planting/ongoing maintenance and one-off clearance jobs. Fencing – all types of arris rail and panel fencing, both repairs and new installations and hard landscaping – patios /driveways/artificial grass/decking.

Currently, they have 63 live garden maintenance customers with weekly, fortnightly monthly and as-required visits. Their customers are mainly domestic with some flats that are serviced on a grounds maintenance basis.

New customers are periodically gained through a subscription to ‘Getagardener’ – this provides new leads for the business alongside its many recommendations. The company has a combination of invoiced and cash customers with payment terms based on monthly invoices with payment due upon receipt of invoice.
