Do rollups work in a geographically tight area?

I was wondering if anyone had any experience rolling up small service companies like landscape in a geographically tight area? Seems like the biggest challenge would be finding other small companies willing to sell..

Feasible yes. But the rollup I was involved in was nationally. Depends how many target companies are in the geo. If you plan on selling it to PE, you would have to keep them all under one brand. A lot of hard work at the integration level
