Investera Holdings is a Michigan, family-operated company that acquires landscaping and grounds-maintenance businesses in Miami and keeps them running. We are buyers and operators, not brokers and not a passive fund. When we take over a company, we put in place strong operating systems and a dedicated general manager, or a put-in-charge team, so crews, routes, and contracts keep performing without the owner riding every job. If you have built a respected grounds company across Miami-Dade and you are weighing your next move, we would like a confidential conversation. Our portfolio companies, CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, are proof that we buy service businesses to operate them for the long term.
Why Miami owners are thinking about selling now
Miami is one of the few markets in the country where grass, hedges, and palms grow essentially twelve months a year, and that turns landscaping into a year-round recurring business rather than a seasonal one. The subtropical climate keeps mowing, trimming, fertilization, and irrigation on a constant cycle. Demand runs deep across the region’s HOAs and condo associations, the gated communities of Kendall and Coral Gables, the corporate campuses of Doral, the resort and hospitality grounds near Miami Beach, and the commercial properties throughout Aventura and Homestead. Property managers here sign ongoing maintenance contracts and prize a crew that keeps every site sharp week after week.
The same climate that fuels growth also makes the work relentless, which is why systemized operators win. The rainy season pushes turf and tropical plantings to grow fast, hurricane season brings storm-debris cleanup and tree work on top of the regular route, and palm care, salt-tolerant plantings, and irrigation management demand real expertise. Labor and equipment coordination across dozens of properties is a daily grind. That is the operational burden we take off an owner’s shoulders. If you have the contracts, the equipment, and the reputation but the seven-day-a-week pace is wearing you down, this is a good time to talk with a buyer who will keep the routes running.
Who we buy in the Miami area
We are looking for established Miami landscaping and grounds-maintenance companies with real recurring contracts and crews who already run the routes. The strength of your maintenance agreements and your team matters far more than a formal pitch.
- Recurring grounds-maintenance or landscaping contracts
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- Crew leaders and route crews who run the daily work
- A solid reputation with Miami-Dade HOAs and property managers
- Owner open to a clean handoff or a transition period
If that resembles your company, the conversation is worth having even if you are simply exploring. There is no fee and no obligation to continue.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees, ever. We buy directly from you, so no listing commission is carved out of the business you built on Miami’s lawns and grounds.
A confidential process. We keep talks private so your crew leaders, field staff, and property clients hear nothing until you and we decide to share it together.
Creative deal structures. We can shape a cash purchase, seller financing, an earnout, or a staged handoff so the terms match your timeline and goals.
Operators, not a fund. We are a family business that runs service companies ourselves; your maintenance contracts become operations we manage, not an asset a passive investor lists for resale.
How the process works
The process begins with a private call to learn about your company, your contract base, and your goals for a sale. If there is a fit, we sign a mutual NDA and review a light set of financials and contract details. We then deliver a clear written offer, work through diligence together, and coordinate a smooth closing and transition of routes, equipment, and client relationships. Because we are the decision-makers, most deals move from first conversation to agreement in weeks, and you always know exactly where things stand.
We will take care of what you built
After closing, continuity comes first. We keep your crew leaders and route crews, honor your maintenance agreements, and hold the standards that keep Miami-Dade properties looking their best. Then we add the operating layer that removes reliance on the founder: route optimization, standardized service specs, quality inspections, contract-renewal processes, and a general manager who owns daily operations. The result is a landscaping company that safeguards your reputation, keeps your people employed and growing, and continues to expand long after the handoff.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my landscaping business worth in Miami?
Healthy landscaping and grounds companies generally sell for about 2.5 to 4 times seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE). Your spot in that range depends on recurring contract mix, margins, customer diversity, and how independently the business runs. This is a typical range, not a guarantee, and we will show you how we build a number for your specific company.
Will you keep this confidential?
Yes. We sign a mutual NDA early and keep the discussion away from your crews, staff, clients, and competitors until you decide it is time to communicate. Your route stability and reputation are protected the whole way.
Do you charge any broker or advisory fees?
No. We are the buyer, not a broker. There are no listing fees, commissions, or advisory charges deducted from your proceeds. What we agree on is what you receive.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
Your choice. Some owners want a short, clean handoff, while others prefer to stay on through a transition or keep a role. We can structure either, because our aim is a strong business, not your quick exit.
How long does a sale usually take?
With a genuine fit, most deals run from first conversation to closing in a few weeks to a couple of months. We make our own decisions, so nothing stalls waiting on a committee.
What areas around Miami do you buy in?
We buy throughout Miami-Dade County and the surrounding area, including Hialeah, Coral Gables, Doral, Kendall, Miami Beach, Homestead, and Aventura. If your routes are anywhere in greater Miami, we would like to talk.
