in Kentucky
19 brokers with landscaping specializations in Kentucky. Deal range: $250K–$2M · Multiple: 2.5–5× SDE
Kentucky's Horse Country around Lexington — with its estate farms and high-income residential properties — supports premium landscaping businesses with above-average per-account annual values. Louisville's east end and Oldham County's growing residential corridor add suburban maintenance contract revenue that complements the estate market.
Why a Landscaping Specialist Matters
Landscaping multiples swing dramatically based on contract structure. A broker who can properly document recurring contract value adds 1–1.5× to the EBITDA multiple — often $150K–$400K in additional sale price.
