The founders of Lawn Doctor created a strong, financially accessible franchise lawn care business system. The management at Lawn Doctor works hard to build upon and improve the values that Lawn Doctor was started from in 1967:

My passion is working closely with our team and the franchise owners I have known much of my life to build a very unique organization.Scott leads the innovative 450+ unit franchisor of home services.

Lawn Doctor’s 50 year history, culture of excellence and dedication to delivering a fabulous support system to our owners makes this a truly special franchise. Our Franchisees certainly have a passion for building their franchise lawn care businesses, but as importantly, they are focused on producing great results with unmatched customer service.

“Marketing is about storytelling, it’s about creating relationships and memories. They come through in every ad, every web page and every phone conversation. Embedded in each of these stories and memories are implicit promises; better put, they are implicit contracts between the brand and the consumer. The wonderful thing about Lawn Doctor is that its culture is built on valuing these brand promises above all else. At the end of the day that’s what makes a consumer choose one service provider over another. When you marry that kind of culture with a marketing strategy that employs some of the most progressive and efficient marketing tools, tactics and media available, great things happen!”
