Investera Holdings is a family-run buyer that acquires landscaping and grounds-maintenance companies and keeps them operating, not a broker and not a fund chasing a quick turnaround. We are operators who put strong systems and a dedicated management layer in place, so after we buy your Jacksonville grounds business, the mowing routes, crews, and maintenance contracts run smoothly whether or not you are riding along. If you have built recurring commercial or community grounds work across Duval County, we would like to keep it growing.
Why Jacksonville owners are thinking about selling now
Jacksonville’s climate is a landscaper’s engine. The growing season here runs close to twelve months, so warm-season turf like St. Augustine, Bahia, and Zoysia keeps growing and needs mowing, edging, and treatment long after northern crews have parked their equipment. That means commercial grounds contracts in Duval County generate revenue nearly year-round rather than in a short summer window, and the region’s steady residential and commercial expansion keeps adding lawns, medians, and common areas that need tending.
There is plenty of demand to serve. Master-planned communities, HOAs, office parks along Butler Boulevard and the Southside, and retail centers near the St. Johns Town Center all rely on contracted grounds crews to stay presentable in the Florida heat, and afternoon thunderstorms and hurricane season drive extra irrigation, cleanup, and storm-debris work. With many longtime owners now thinking about slowing down and dependable crews hard to staff, a landscaping company with recurring accounts and a capable team is worth handing to an owner who will protect it.
Who we buy in the Jacksonville area
We are looking for established landscaping and grounds-maintenance companies around Jacksonville that already run on recurring contracts. The best matches usually share a few things in common.
- Recurring grounds-maintenance or contract landscaping revenue
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close works)
- Crew leaders and foremen who can run the routes
- A strong reputation with HOAs, property managers, or builders
- An owner open to a clean handoff or staying on
If that sounds like your operation, it is worth a talk even if selling is still just a maybe. A first conversation decides nothing and comes with no pressure.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We are the buyer, not a listing agent, so no commission comes out of what you walk away with. You work directly with the family taking over the business.
A confidential process. Your crews and your accounts stay undisturbed while we talk. Conversations run under NDA, and nothing reaches your clients or competitors until you say so.
Creative deal structures. Whether you want cash at close, a note, an earn-out, or a gradual step-back, we shape the deal to your goals rather than a fixed formula.
Operators, not a fund. We are a Michigan family that runs service businesses like CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, buying to own and operate for the long run, not to flip.
How the process works
The steps are simple and low-pressure. We begin with a private conversation about how your routes and accounts are set up and what you want from a sale, then sign a mutual NDA and review your financials and contract base. Next comes a clear, no-obligation offer, and if it feels right we move into diligence and a transition plan built around your season and schedule. Since we are the direct buyer with no broker or committee in between, you get fast, honest answers at every turn.
We will take care of what you built
After we close, our focus is keeping your accounts happy and your crews steady. A dedicated general manager and proven route, scheduling, and billing systems take over the daily grind so the business does not depend on you being in the field. The reputation you earned with Jacksonville property managers and communities stays intact, your people keep their jobs, and your clients keep the reliable service that won them over. We grow what you planted rather than uproot it.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my landscaping business worth in Jacksonville?
Most well-run landscaping and grounds companies sell in a range of about 2.5x to 4x SDE, with your share of recurring maintenance contracts, margins, equipment condition, and crew strength setting where you land. That is a typical range, not a guarantee. A confidential look at your numbers is the only way to find a real figure, and we are happy to walk through it.
Will this be kept confidential?
Yes. We know talk of a sale can unsettle crews and invite poaching, so we keep everything under a mutual NDA, involve only the people who must be, and leave your clients and staff alone until you are ready.
Are there any broker fees?
No. Because we buy directly, there is no listing commission and no success fee taken from your proceeds. The price we agree on goes toward your side of the deal, not a middleman’s cut.
Can I stay involved after selling?
If you want to, yes. Some owners step away at closing while others stay on through the transition or keep a role they enjoy. We build the arrangement around what suits you.
How long does a sale take?
Typically a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on how tidy your books are and how quickly we both want to move. We can move faster when needed and will never rush you.
What areas around Jacksonville do you buy in?
All of Duval County and the surrounding areas, including Orange Park, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra, St Augustine, Fernandina Beach, and Middleburg. If your routes cover the greater Jacksonville area, let’s talk.
