Key Facts
PE-backed landscaping roll-ups are actively acquiring across every major market.
Annual maintenance contracts are the #1 value driver, walk-up customers have almost no transferable value.
Route density matters, tighter routes = less drive time = more efficient = more valuable.
Commercial accounts with multi-year contracts command the highest premiums.
Owner on the mower = significant discount. Businesses with trained crew leads sell for more.
