We are a landscaping business based in Canmore and specialize in creative and functional design and installation for residential and commercial properties We excel with our outstanding customer service and attractive renovations.

In anticipation of the FAQ, we have provided the information below.
Please read this description and please do not send the auto-reply: "Please send me more information about this business". We will be happy to speak to you further with specific inquiries.

We are a custom residential landscape company and have been in business for 22+ years. We have a solid clientele base and reputation in the Canmore and Banff areas, and serve the area from Lake Louise to Cochrane and Calgary, with the potential to expand geographically. The business is fully licensed to operate in the province of Alberta, and with the New West Partnership Trade Agreement can expand to Sask and BC.

Gross sales have ranged from $350,000 to more recently $178,000. There is a proven opportunity to increase sales by well over $700,000; the Bow Valley has a very high level of development. We have operated from 4-8 employees between April and November, and have several subcontractors on board. We have pursued winter operations in the past but for personal reasons are not now. There is ample opportunity to integrate snow removal and winter operations.
Sales are primarily construction-based (approx 70%) and we have approximately 12-15 ongoing maintenance contracts. (Traditional lawns are decreasing in the area due to acidic conditions). We have remained busy through the downturns of 2008 and 2020 and continue to enjoy robust sales.

We have defaulted on zero accounts, there are no liens or other issues. All debts (small) would be cleared before the sale. All our accounts are impeccable, and our insurance, CRA accounts, and paperwork are in order. We are fully licensed and insured (Surety, Prepaid Contractors Service Alberta, Commercial Liability, WCB), and the business is certified to operate in BC, Alberta, and Sask.

We are looking for someone to take the business to the next level through this sale; it will facilitated by a lawyer and accountant. High-income potential for mini-hoe owner/operator or someone with similar experience and skills.
I am a trained landscape designer and would be available to assist for 1 year based on mutually agreeable terms.
We are asking $43,000 for a complete buyout. Reasonable offers considered.

Inventory is in flux during the operating season but the approximate value is listed. There is no heavy equipment (excavator, bobcat), as reflected in the asking price. Included are (not limited to): 2 Stihl trimmers, 1 Stihl blower, small tools such as Makita drill, table saw, diamond blade saw, one 1995 Dodge 2500 Ram dump truck, 120 sq feet flagstone, wall rock, 2 rolls weed barrier, and a variety of small tools used to operate the business (everything we have used).

Reasons for selling are health, and change of career.

Thank you for your interest.
