Are you looking for a business opportunity in Leicester?
With a Lawnscience franchise, you can build your own thriving lawn care business backed by a proven system and ongoing support. Whether your goal is to escape the 9–5, enjoy more freedom, or create a company you can grow, Lawnscience has the framework and expertise to make it happen.
Our lawn care service is a comprehensive maintenance plan that ensures lawns stay lush, green, and healthy all year round. Treatments include fertilisation, weed and moss control, aeration to open up compacted soil, scarification to remove dead thatch, and overseeding to fill bare spots. We also improve soil health — balancing pH, improving structure, and enhancing microbial life — so the lawn grows stronger from the roots. In Leicester, where clay soils are common, our aeration and overseeding work help…
Lawn care professionals who excel are practical, enjoy outdoor work, and take pride in getting visible results. They are organised, good at planning efficient routes, and committed to keeping tools in good condition. They’re also friendly and approachable, taking time to explain treatments and following up to ensure customer satisfaction. A basic understanding of turf health and a willingness to keep learning are valuable, as is spotting opportunities for repeat work and quoting with confidence
You don’t need prior experience — we’ll train you in every aspect of turf care, from diagnosing problems and applying treatments safely to aeration, scarification, and overseeding. We’ll also give you business training: quoting confidently, pricing correctly, planning routes, and using our CRM and marketing campaigns to generate enquiries. You’ll launch with a detailed playbook, ready-to-use marketing, and continuous phone support. What matters most is your approach: practical, organised, comfortable speaking with customers, and happy to work outdoors.
