This Virginia S-corporation, has been serving a major metropolitan area s landscaping products and stone needs since 1973. The Company began by selling screened top soil from various construction sites. Over the years it developed a strong following among both contractors and homeowners. Eventually, the company expanded into its current location and covers 5 acres of land with inventory. The Company s major products are topsoil, mulches, gravels, sands, and various types of stone products such as; wall stone, flagstone, boulders, thin stone, and cobblestones. The Company takes pride in its customer service with on-time delivery of all of their products. The Company delivers topsoil, mulch, gravel, sand, compost and amended soil. The Company also delivers natural hardscaping stone, patio stone, and flagstone as well as EP Henry pavers and wall systems, and Eldorado stone.

Therefore, the business is being offered for sale at the asking price of $2,900,000 plus inventory. An asset sale is anticipated.
