732 Customers. Two Protected Territories.

Listing Snapshot

The Numbers

2025 seller’s discretionary earnings were $46,500; the three-year average (2023 to 2025) is $62,023. One of the two owners died; the three years before that were consistently profitable and the trailing twelve months carry the disruption. The business is priced on what a buyer actually acquires (the customer book, the team and the equipment), not on a multiple of a depressed year. Inventory about $27,687, not included in the asking price.

What You’re Buying

Why This Business

The Opportunity

Proven Book, Untapped Add-Ons

Customers buy annual fertilization and weed-control programs that renew year after year and are serviced on fixed routes by a team that handles the day-to-day work.

Room to grow without new territory or franchise investment: not one of the 732 customers is enrolled in the franchise system’s mosquito control program (a separate Texas pest-control licence is required); roughly three-quarters of lawn customers buy no add-on program; and 5.7% of scheduled work went unserviced in 2025, which is recoverable revenue. Fulshear alone has grown 297% since 2020.

What is included (asset sale)

The customer relationships and program agreements, two protected franchise territories, the customer database and phone numbers, the spray rig and application equipment, service vehicles, and materials inventory at the seller’s cost. The franchisor’s support transfers to an approved new owner.

Operations and transfer

The facility is owned by the seller and is not part of the sale; a buyer should plan on a transition arrangement and its own premises within the territory. The buyer must complete the franchisor’s standard transfer approval, and the franchisor holds a 30-day right of first refusal. A Texas Department of Agriculture commercial applicator licence must be in place within one year of purchase; the current arrangement continues through that transition.

Who this fits

An owner-operator who wants a route-based, recurring-revenue service business with a team in place; a Houston-area lawn care, pest control or landscaping operator adding protected territory and an organic product line; or an operator from elsewhere in the franchise system entering Texas.
