If you own a landscaping and grounds-maintenance company in Yonkers, you keep the hills, parks, and properties of Westchester’s largest city green and cared for through every season. Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires service businesses like yours and keeps them running, backing them with strong systems and a professional management layer so the company no longer depends on the owner being on every truck. We are not a broker after a listing and not a passive fund. We are operators, shown by the companies we run today, CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services. If you are ready to think about the next chapter, we want to be the buyer who keeps your crews cutting and your clients loyal.
Why Yonkers owners are thinking about selling now
Yonkers is demanding terrain for a grounds company, which is exactly why a good one is valuable. The city climbs steep hillsides above the Hudson, from Crestwood and Park Hill to the estates near Untermyer Park and Gardens, and it is dense with condominium associations, HOAs, apartment complexes, and commercial properties along Central Park Avenue and the waterfront that all need contracted maintenance. That work is recurring by nature, mowing, bed care, pruning, and cleanups booked on seasonal agreements, and it produces the predictable revenue that makes a landscaping business worth buying and holding. Many owners who built these route books are now aging out without a plan.
The four-season Hudson Valley calendar is the real engine. Spring cleanups and mulch drive a fast start, summer mowing and irrigation carry the core months, fall leaf work surges through November, and Nor’easter winters turn snow and ice management on commercial lots into a genuine second business. That year-round demand keeps crews and equipment earning across the calendar, but it also means an owner can never fully step away without a system behind them. Selling now, with your contracts renewed and your crew intact, lets you capture the value you built instead of watching a distracted transition erode it.
Who we buy in the Yonkers area
We look for a real grounds operation with contracted accounts and a working crew, not a business that runs only when the owner is on the mower.
- Recurring seasonal or contract maintenance revenue
- Around $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- A capable crew and foremen who run routes
- A respected reputation across Yonkers and Westchester
- An owner open to a clean handoff or staying on a season
If that describes your company, it is worth talking now even if your exit is a year or two off. The strongest handoffs are planned ahead.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We buy directly from you, so there is no listing commission taken out of your proceeds and no middleman steering the deal toward their own cut.
A confidential process. Your maintenance clients, your crew, and competing landscapers learn nothing until you are ready. Early talks stay sealed by mutual agreement.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, a seller note, an earnout tied to renewed contracts, or a season-by-season handoff, we shape terms around what you actually want.
Operators, not a fund. We are a family that runs service companies for the long term. We buy to own and grow the routes, never to break up the crew and flip the accounts.
How the process works
It starts with a low-key conversation about your accounts, your crew, and your goals, not a stack of paperwork. After mutual confidentiality is signed, we review financials, learn your contract mix and seasonal rhythm, and look at the operation on a schedule that keeps things quiet. Then we put a fair, written offer on the table based on your real SDE. Because we install our own systems and a put-in-charge general manager, you do not have to stay on every route after close, though staying through a season is welcome. Most Yonkers landscaping deals move from first call to closing in weeks, not the long stretch a brokered listing can require.
We will take care of what you built
A grounds company we buy stays a grounds company. Your crew keeps their jobs and their routes, your clients keep their service, and the standard you set gets reinforced with better scheduling, equipment, and a full-time manager whose job is running the operation well. We reinvest in trucks, gear, and training rather than cutting corners to pad a short-term margin. The goal is a healthier business years from now, still keeping Yonkers properties sharp through spring cleanups and winter storms alike, still employing local crews, and still carrying the name you built one season at a time.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my landscaping business worth in Yonkers?
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 contract renewal rates, snow and seasonal revenue mix, crew stability, and margins. It is a typical range, not a guarantee, and we ground every offer in your actual numbers.
Will my sale stay confidential?
Yes. We sign mutual confidentiality before any numbers are shared, and your clients, your crew, and rival landscapers hear nothing until you decide it is the right moment to announce it with us.
Are there broker or advisory fees?
No. We are the direct buyer, so no listing commission and no advisory fee comes out of your proceeds. The price we agree on is what you take home.
Can I stay involved after selling?
You can, but you do not have to. We bring in a general manager and proven systems so the business runs without you, whether you want to consult through a season or hand off cleanly and step away.
How long does a sale take?
Once both sides are committed, most deals close within a few weeks. We move at a pace that protects your contracts and crew rather than dragging it out for months like a public listing can.
What areas around Yonkers do you buy in?
We buy throughout southern Westchester, including Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Greenburgh, Eastchester, and Scarsdale, plus the neighboring towns your maintenance routes already serve.
