Cultivating Success – Established Garden Maintenance Business

CoGoGo proudly presents to the market Stockport & Tameside Garden and Tree Services, a well-established and reputable garden maintenance business operating across Stockport, Tameside and the surrounding areas of Manchester.

Trading successfully for approximately 18 years, the business has built a strong reputation for delivering reliable, high-quality garden services and has developed a loyal client base with numerous ongoing contracts already in place.

The business currently holds 3 commercial contracts, alongside 63 regular contracts during the busy spring and summer seasons and 33 contracts during the winter period, ensuring consistent work throughout the year.

During the busy spring and summer months, the business can generate between £6,000 and £10,000 per month, with working hours adjusting in line with seasonal demand. Even in quieter months, the business generates approximately £3,000 per month in winter, while peak seasons offer significantly higher earning potential.

The company benefits from an excellent reputation online, with over 200 five-star reviews across multiple platforms, including 90 five-star reviews on Yell.com and 4.8 stars reviews on google, where the business has been listed for 14 years.

Services are charged per job rather than hourly, with a minimum charge of £30 and visits ranging up to £400, depending on the size and scope of the work.

The business is also SafeContractor approved, costing approximately £1,000 per year, which provides additional credibility and helps secure commercial contracts. 

Some customers have yearly rolling contracts and others have been loyal with the company since it started 18 years ago. There is huge room to expand the business adding to wider areas and employing more staff. 

The current owner runs the business with the support of one full-time staff member (full professional uniforms are included in the sale), and the sale includes a sign-written van with full service history, office landline number and professional gardening tools, with fully serviced professional equipment purchased approximately 11 months ago at a cost of £7,000.

A handover period will be offered by the current owner, with further details to be discussed with the incoming purchaser to ensure a smooth transition.
