Start a Lawn Care Business

We can help you to start your own business!

If you’re looking for a unique business opportunity, we at Lawn & Weed Expert can offer all the benefits of a franchise with none of the drawbacks.

The British lawn care market is growing – as people become busier, there is increasing demand for high-quality lawn services all over the country. We are still growing our business at a rapid pace, adding several hundred new customers to our list with each passing year.

Would you like to start your own lawn care business? We can help!

How to get started

If you’d like to make your living looking after other people’s lawns, here’s what to do:

• Contact Lawn & Weed Expert to get the ball rolling
• Pay your initial fee, and we’ll help you to source the specialist equipment that you’ll be using on a daily basis once your business is up and running
• Train with us – our lawn care training programme covers all of the skills you’ll need, as well as business admin and how to promote your brand to your target audience
• After that, it’s over to you! Our only condition is that your new business must not operate within 50 miles of Lawn & Weed Expert.

Lawn care training courses

Before you can begin, you’ll need to learn how to operate your business and take care of your customers’ lawns. We can assist you by providing professional lawn care training as well as general business advice – some people are good at the technical aspects but less so at admin and marketing, or vice versa.

We already train our own staff here at Lawn & Weed Expert, so we’re well-placed to train you up as well. We estimate that we can cover all relevant areas in as little as 5 working days but you can arrange to train with us for longer if necessary.

Why choose us over a franchise?

If you want to fast-track your new business, you may be tempted to invest in a lawn care franchise. There are many different lawn franchises to choose from, and the benefit of doing it this way is that you’ll be piggybacking off an established brand – plus they’ll usually supply you with the equipment and the basic training you’ll need to get your business up and running.

The downside of purchasing a franchise? You’ll often be required to pay royalties, and perhaps more critically, you won’t have ultimate control of your business. This can be frustrating, especially if you want to get creative with your branding and marketing.

Lawn & Weed Expert offer a great alternative to the traditional franchise model: we’ll train you up and help you to get the right tools, but after that, you’ll be in control and you won’t have to pay any royalties on the sales you make.
