The lawn-care market is continually growing, as homeowners generally place value in having an attractive lawn to retain a positive view of their home, or to enhance its value on the market.

With a very limited range of DIY options available to carry out general lawn maintenance activities, turning to a lawn-care service provider is essential. While the lawn-care service industry originally began in the US, since it emerged in the UK, it has continued to grow and gain prominence.

The Lawnscience franchise has been described positively by existing franchise owners, as the brand can be set up comfortably and easily, even for someone who has not owned a business before. With extensive support and training on offer, franchisees are able to offer services with confidence, while the flexibility allowed by running a mobile van-based business gives franchise owners the opportunity to run a business around other needs and commitments. Many franchises are able to manage family and other work commitments around their Lawnscience franchise role.

How to get started

To get started with a Lawnscience franchise, the brand has a seven-step system in place – beginning with a no obligation talk, and a review of their franchise prospectus and offering. You may then be invited to their Milton Keynes head office, where you can meet the franchise team to discuss the business opportunity in greater detail. You will also have the chance to meet other existing franchise partners, and ask them questions about how they run a Lawnscience business.

Once you are certain you have a strong interest in the brand, they will then start to evaluate a personalised and exclusive territory for you. This is often done as a collaborative activity – your own input into a specific area will help to identify the most lucrative territory, with the best potential to grow the business in. After this, all relevant paperwork is completed and a territory is confirmed, before starting your franchise training process.
