If you’re wondering about how to start a lawn care business, you should know there are a couple of ways to go about it: you can open independently, taking on all the responsibilities yourself, or you can partner with a franchise brand. Deciding on the latter is a smart move, especially if you partner with Lawn Doctor!
We’ve been in the lawn care industry for decades and we make sure to pass along all our knowledge and expertise to our franchisees. We’ve established ourselves as leaders in the industry and have developed systems and procedures that take a lot of the trial and error out of running your business. Let’s take a look at some of the more important reasons why joining our brand to start a lawn care business, rather than going it alone, makes very good sense.
The Lawn Doctor name has been around for over 50 years, and in that time, we’ve established ourselves as a leader in lawn care, servicing homes and businesses across the country. Our more than 600 locations are trusted resources for landscaping, turf care, tree care, mosquito control, and more. When you open your Lawn Doctor franchise in your area, there’s a very good chance your community will already be aware of the Lawn Doctor name, making it much easier for you to establish yourself. That kind of brand awareness takes time to build, and independent owners need to devote a lot energy toward it. But we’ve already done the work for you, which allows you to concentrate on other details — like growth!
We’ve taken everything we’ve learned in our decades of business and used that knowledge to craft a simple and scalable business model that our franchisees use to run the day-to-day operations of their franchises. Ours is a home-based opportunity for those starting a lawn care business, which means Lawn Doctor franchisees don’t need to allocate resources toward a brick and mortar location. Instead, they can focus on providing world-class customer service, while our national in-house sales center helps them close sales quickly. A business model as robust and time-tested as ours takes years to develop, and our franchisees get immediate access to it when they join Lawn Doctor. Independent owners don’t have that advantage.
If you’re worried about not having any previous experience in the landscaping industry, but still want to start a lawn care business, don’t worry! When you partner with Lawn Doctor, you can count on our training and support to not only prepare you to open your franchise doors, but to help you stay ahead of the curve and grow your business. Our two-week pre-opening training goes over just about everything you’ll need to know to get going, including sales and marketing, customer service, technology, and more.
After you open, you’ll be assigned a Regional Business Consultant who will be there to answer your questions for the life of your business, and who’ll meet with you every 8 weeks for the first two years of your business to help refine your performance and identify new areas for growth. Our ongoing support of you also includes our e-learning platform available 24/7, weekly webinars, quarterly regional meetings, and our annual conference that’s a perfect opportunity to network.
