Sell Your Tree Service Business
Tree service companies are valued on a mix of equipment (bucket trucks, chippers, stump grinders), certified arborists on staff, and how much revenue comes from recurring maintenance contracts versus one-off storm work. Tangent Brokerage builds a confidential valuation around these factors and markets your business to buyers looking to expand into tree care. Backed by 35 years of combined brokerage experience, we screen buyers and manage negotiation so you get full value for your equipment and crew.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference in value between storm work and maintenance contracts?
Recurring maintenance contracts — pruning, removal programs, HOA agreements — are valued much higher than storm-response revenue, which is real but not repeatable. We separate the two in the valuation so buyers see the true recurring base.
Does having a certified arborist on staff increase value?
Yes — ISA-certified arborists and licensed climbers reduce a buyer's key-person risk and can support a higher multiple, especially if they're likely to stay on after the sale.
What equipment factors into the valuation?
Bucket trucks, chippers, stump grinders, and other rolling equipment are assessed for age and condition and factored in alongside cash flow — buyers want to know what capital they'll need to invest post-close.
