Deciding whether a lawn care franchise is right for you means considering your motivation, customer-service skills, ambitions and willingness to learn.
You don’t need lawn care experience, but you do need the motivation to learn, the ability to deliver excellent customer service, and build something of your own.
Owning a Lawnscience business can give you greater control over your income, working life and future. However, you will need the initiative to recruit customers, deliver consistently professional service and drive the business forward.
We provide the training, systems, equipment and ongoing support. You bring the motivation and put those things into action.
We provide a strong foundation. What you build on it is ultimately down to you.
All of our successful Lawnscience owners have come from a variety of backgrounds. Previous experience is not necessary. They do, however, all share some important qualities.
You are happy to take the initiative to get things done without someone constantly directing you.
You value excellent customer service, are comfortable communicating clearly and building trusted long-term relationships.
You are willing to follow our proven systems and develop new technical, sales and business skills with the help of our training and ongoing support.
You are happy combining outdoor, hands-on work with customer service and business management.
You understand that recruiting customers takes consistent effort and that not every day will go exactly to plan.
You want to build something of your own and have a clear idea of what you would like business ownership to give you.
You can explore what a Lawnscience business owner does before deciding whether the day-to-day role suits you.
Previous lawn care or business experience is not required. Our network includes people who joined Lawnscience from a wide range of industries.
Our hands-on training covers the technical and practical skills needed to deliver Lawnscience services professionally.
We also help you develop wider business skills, including:
What matters most is your willingness to learn and apply what you have been taught.
You will not begin with a ready-made customer base. During the early stages, you need to put consistent effort into local marketing, following up enquiries, completing quotes to a high-standard and delivering a service people want to recommend.
As your customer base develops, recurring treatments and long-term customers can begin to create momentum.
The typical growth path is to establish your business and win your first customers, build a strong local reputation and recurring customer base, and then grow the business around your ambitions.
Taking the time to reflect is important before starting any business. Consider what you want from business ownership, what your family needs and whether you are prepared to put in the work required to build a customer base.
Take your time to decide whether a Lawnscience lawn care franchise is right for you and your family.
