Description
greater Fox Valley. The business handles tree removal, trimming and pruning,
stump grinding and site clearing, hedge and shrub work, emergency and storm
cleanup (including insurance claim work), mulching, and seasonal snow removal.
The customer base is a mix of residential and commercial accounts with no
meaningful concentration in any one client.
The sale is an asset sale and includes a modern, well-maintained fleet: a 2025
log truck, a 2022 chip truck, a 2023 chipper, a 2023 compact loader, plus a
trailer, saws and small tools. The owner values the equipment package at
approximately $276,000. Also conveying are the trade name, the long-standing
local phone number, the website, the Google Business Profile and review
presence, the Facebook page, and the customer list.
Revenue reached a four-year high of $471,882 in 2025.
The owner is retiring after more than fifty-three years in the trade. He no
longer performs field work. His role is estimating and quoting, scheduling, and
supervising crews, which means the job a buyer steps into is a manager's role
rather than a climber's role. He will train the new owner for up to 60 business
days at no cost and will sign a non-compete.
The business operates from a leased shop in Oshkosh, with space
for truck parking, equipment storage, and log and chip staging.
Several avenues are available to a new owner:
Build recurring revenue. The company currently runs on one-off jobs with no
ongoing service contracts. Annual maintenance agreements with commercial
property managers, HOAs, apartment complexes and municipalities would smooth out
the seasonality and make the revenue far more predictable.
Expand the snow removal side. Winter work is already performed but has never
been pushed as a standalone service line. A buyer with existing equipment could
turn the off-season into a real second revenue stream.
Add a second estimator. All quoting currently runs through the owner, which caps
how much work the company can bid. Training a crew leader to estimate, or a
buyer doing the estimating themselves alongside a hired one, would immediately
increase throughput.
Modernize the marketing. The website, Google profile and Facebook page all
convey but have room for improvement. Paid local search, a real review
generation process, and consistent lead follow-up are largely untapped.
Formalize the books. The business has been run on a cash basis without separate
business accounting. Proper bookkeeping and job costing would surface which
service lines and job types actually carry margin.
Emerald ash borer work in the Fox Valley is expected to continue for years, and
storm response provides recurring seasonal demand.

Hardscape & Landscape Design Firm w/ Real Estate, NE WI
$ 575,000
This well-established Northeast Wisconsin landscape firm has built a strong regional reputation as a specialty design and installation contractor, with a focus on high-margin hardscape work rather than commodity lawn maintenance. Core services include custom hardscape installations, retaining walls, mulch installation, tree and shrub planting, and full landscape design. The company serves a loyal base of residential and commercial clients throughout the Fox Valley region, with work generated primarily through referrals, repeat customers, and the owner's long-standing reputation for design quality and craftsmanship. The commercial real estate that houses the company's yard, shop, and equipment storage is owned by the seller and is available separately from the business sale. The owner is open to staying on part-time in a design and consulting capacity if the right situation presents itself, offering a new owner the opportunity to retain the creative talent behind the firm's reputation while taking over day-to-day operations and growth. A standard transition period will also be provided to ensure continuity with clients, vendors, and subcontractors. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced landscape professional, a contractor looking to expand into design/build, or an investor seeking a profitable specialty trades business in a growing market. Northeast Wisconsin continues to experience steady residential and commercial growth, and demand for quality hardscape and outdoor living design remains strong. A new owner with sales, marketing, or crew-expansion capacity has clear opportunity to grow revenue beyond current levels. The business is well-positioned for meaningful growth under new ownership. The current owner has run the company in a referral-driven, operator-led model, which has produced consistent results but has intentionally left marketing, sales, and capacity expansion largely untapped. A new owner with added investment in digital marketing, estimating capacity, or a dedicated sales function could accelerate top-line growth without fundamentally changing the business. Additional growth levers include adding a second installation crew to reduce project backlogs during peak season, bringing a portion of the subcontracted lawn maintenance work in-house to capture additional margin, and expanding commercial and municipal account development. Northeast Wisconsin continues to see steady residential and commercial growth, and demand for quality hardscape, retaining walls, and outdoor living design remains strong across the Fox Valley region. https://tworld.com/locations/Wisconsin/northeast-wisconsin/listings/Hardscape-Landscape-Design-Firm-w-Real-Estate-NE-WI

Established Catering Company Specializing in Corporate & Memorial
$ 350,000
This well-established, full-service catering business has built a loyal client base serving corporate events and memorial gatherings throughout the Northeast Wisconsin region. With consistent revenue and margins, the company benefits from steady repeat business and long-standing referral relationships that drive reliable demand year-round.The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (valued at approximately $65,000), inventory, and the company's catering vehicles. The owner is retiring and is willing to provide training to ensure a smooth transition. This is a turnkey opportunity for an owner-operator or an existing food service business looking to expand into a profitable, relationship-driven catering niche. The available growth strategies are compelling precisely because the previous ownership, nearing retirement, opted not to implement them, rather than having attempted and failed. Consequently, a motivated new owner-operator acquires a robust, profitable foundation complemented by clearly defined opportunities for expansion. https://tworld.com/locations/WI/northeast-wisconsin/listings/Established-Catering-Company-Specializing-in-Corporate-Memorial
