The lawn care business

Fertilising a lawn

Lawnscience provides a lawn care service to domestic and commercial customers throughout the UK. Our regular treatments ensure that customers’ lawns are kept in excellent condition throughout the year. To learn more about the specifics of our service take a look at what do we do? 

When did lawn care start

The idea of providing regular professional lawn care treatments to domestic lawns has its roots way back in 1915 when the efforts of the true pioneers of the industry in the USA have been documented. During the thirties, The Davey Company began to spray lawns to prevent white grub infestations. When Daniel Dorfman invented and franchised the Lawn-A-Mat, a machine capable of rolling, fertilising, applying pesticides, aerating, and seeding a lawn in one pass the industry was born. Many of those early Lawn-A-Mat franchisees went on the start and grow their own chemical lawn care businesses. A new industry was born.  

Lawn care in the USA

The main engine for growth in the USA was the franchise model, where the service would be provided by a knowledgeable, well-trained, and motivated local expert. Today throughout the USA we now see the result of the explosion of the lawn care business, varying in size from the small “mom and pop” small businesses to substantial franchised operations, covering multiple states across the USA and Canada. 

The lawn care concept crossed the pond in the seventies and now the small but rapidly growing UK market has a number of mainly franchised operations, of which Lawnscience is a medium-sized player. Our aim is not to be the biggest, but the best and we are looking for motivated individuals to join us to continue to grow our business throughout the UK.

I knew that in order to take control of my income and working life, I would have to work for myself, rather than working for others. However, choosing a business to start on my own was not that simple. I was initially drawn to Lawnscience because Terry supplied me with lots of information from the start, which helped me to understand the business. Another great advantage to Lawnscience is that they gave me the opportunity to create my own bespoke trading territory, something which most franchisors could not have done. Having met with Lawnscience on several occasions to discuss their business and the way in which they operate, my mind was made up. This was always going to be a daunting decision, but I was given the opportunity to speak with all of the current franchisees about their experiences, which gave me the confidence to take the leap into self-employment. After my initial training, my marketing plan fired into action and the phone rang and rang and rang. Today, after only 7 months of trading I have already surpassed my first years sales target by over £10,000, and the year is far from over.
