Testimonials

"After you gave the lawn the special treatment it looked as if nothing was going to happen, then suddenly it all started to grow and we have the most amazing thick grass and for the first time in 20 years (and after a wasted fortune spent with your competition) we are heading for a decent lawn, having nearly decided to plough it up this year and start again. We now receive regular compliments about our lawns. So many thanks."

 

Mrs Osborne - a valued customer, Gt Missenden

"My marketing launch was a huge success and generated enough business very quickly to keep me booked up weeks in advance. Next year I plan to increase my client base by 100% with a further targeted marketing campaign."

 

Bob Pullin - franchisee

"I have learned so much in a short space of time, and with the continuing support and advice I receive, my business has gone from strength to strength. I had taken the decision to invest my money in a franchise and did lots of research and comparisons of different packages available. I finally took the decision to buy a Lawnscience franchise because the package on offer was clear and had no extra hidden costs."

 

Wes Friedel - franchisee

Unrivalled support & Individually tailored territories set the lawnscience franchise head and shoulders above the rest!

Lawnscience Franchise Business-1 

Lawnscience Franchise Opportunity_2We provide our customers with an annual program of treatments after a technical review of their lawn is undertaken. The program consists of  regular treatments such as weed control and fertilisation and additional  treatments such as scarification and aeration which is carried out  throughout the year.

We continually monitor and assess our customer’s lawns so we can identify any existing problems or future threats to the well being of the lawn. We can then offer additional preventative and curative treatments to avoid any serious long lasting damage.

Lawnscience Franchise Opportunity_1Because we provide the most extensive range of professional treatments there are very few lawns that are beyond redemption, so even the worst  lawns will quickly benefit from our treatment programs. Our customers  are loyal and we are highly recommended, therefore a high volume of  our business comes from referrals, providing our franchisees with a solid customer base that continually grows.

Your individually created territory

Key to the success of your business will be your protected territory.  Lawnscience do not allocate pre-defined territories, instead we will work  with you to create your individual territory based upon your location in order that you will have the optimal base for your new business.
