If you own a landscaping or grounds-maintenance company in Reno, you have learned to work with one of the more demanding environments in the West, a high-desert valley where water is precious, winters bring snow, and summers scorch. Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires landscaping companies and keeps them running with the same crews, routes, and contracts. We are not a broker looking for a listing and not a passive fund. We buy, put strong systems and a dedicated general manager in place, and operate for the long term. If you want to sell your landscaping business in Reno to someone who will keep it going, let’s start a conversation.
Why Reno owners are thinking about selling now
Reno’s growth has been relentless, and every new master-planned community, office park, and commercial pad brings grounds that someone has to maintain year-round. The recurring commercial and HOA work across Damonte Ranch, Somersett, Spanish Springs, and the office corridors of South Meadows is the backbone of a strong landscaping book, and it is steadier than most people outside the trade realize. High-desert conditions push property owners toward professional, water-wise maintenance, and Truckee Meadows Water Authority restrictions and drought awareness have made xeriscape design, efficient irrigation, and expert plant selection into real competitive advantages rather than nice-to-haves.
The seasons also give a well-run Reno grounds company something valuable: multiple revenue lines under one roof. Spring and summer bring mowing, irrigation, and planting; fall brings cleanups; and winter snow and ice add commercial snow-removal contracts that keep crews working when the mowers are parked. Managing all of that, plus labor in a tight market and rising equipment costs, is why many owners start thinking about a sale. Most buyers who come knocking are consolidators who want the contracts and will cut the rest. We value the opposite things: the recurring accounts, the cross-seasonal crews, and the reputation you built property by property are exactly what we want to protect.
Who we buy in the Reno area
We are a fit for a specific kind of Reno landscaping owner, not everyone. See whether this sounds like your company.
- Recurring commercial or HOA maintenance contracts, not just one-off installs
- Around $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close counts)
- A capable crew and a foreman who can run the routes
- A solid local reputation for reliable grounds work
- Owner open to a clean handoff or staying on for a while
If most of that describes your business, you are the kind of owner we want to meet. Even a partial fit is worth a short, confidential call.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly, so there is no listing commission and no middleman taking a slice of the value in your contracts and equipment.
A confidential process. Your foreman, your HOA and commercial clients, and your competitors hear nothing until you decide, which protects the accounts you have worked seasons to hold.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, a seller note, an earn-out, or a stretch on payroll can all be combined to match what you want out of the sale.
Operators, not a fund. We are a family that runs service businesses every day, so we understand route density, seasonal crews, and margins the way an owner does.
How the process works
It begins with a relaxed, private phone call about your contracts, your crew, and what a good sale looks like to you. If we both see a fit, we sign an NDA and review a few years of financials and your account list so we can offer a real valuation rather than a rough guess. We handle diligence, paperwork, and transition planning ourselves and keep your crew out of a long, public auction. Because Investera is the buyer and not a broker shopping you around the valley, the process is usually quieter and faster than owners expect, and you always know exactly who will own the company.
We will take care of what you built
When we buy a Reno landscaping company, we keep it running through every season rather than carving it up. We install proven routing, scheduling, and quality systems and put a dedicated general manager in charge of daily operations, so the mowing, irrigation, cleanups, and winter snow contracts all keep getting covered. Your foreman and crew keep their jobs, your HOA and commercial clients keep the reliable service they count on, and the reputation you built across the valley’s properties carries forward. We plan to operate for decades, so continuity for your people and your accounts is the point.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my landscaping business worth in Reno?
Most healthy landscaping and grounds companies sell in a range of roughly 2.5x to 4x SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings). Where you land depends on how much revenue is locked in recurring maintenance and snow contracts, how strong your crew is, and how clean your books and reputation are. That range is context, not a guarantee; we give you a specific number only after seeing real financials.
Will you keep our conversations confidential?
Yes. Everything stays private from the first call. We sign an NDA before reviewing any numbers, and your foreman, clients, and competitors hear nothing about a possible sale unless you choose to tell them.
Do you charge any fees or commissions?
No. We are the buyer, not a broker, so there is no listing fee and no commission out of your proceeds. You deal directly with the family that will own and run the business.
Can I stay involved after the sale?
If you want to. Some owners hand off in a few weeks; others stay on for a season or more to introduce clients and steady the crews, sometimes on payroll. We build it around what you prefer.
How long does a sale usually take?
Once we see financials, a straightforward landscaping deal often moves from first call to close in a couple of months. We set the pace ourselves since there is no auction and no broker in the middle.
What areas around Reno do you buy in?
We consider landscaping companies across the Reno-Sparks region, including Sparks, Carson City, Sun Valley, Spanish Springs, and Fernley. If your routes cover the Truckee Meadows, we would like to talk.
