FRANCHISE
LAWNSCIENCE

LAWNSCIENCE

The UK professional lawn care market was established in the 1960s and is growing rapidly because the service provides people with great looking lawns at affordable cost, which means they can enjoy the benefits of their gardens without the hassle of caring for their lawn. In these times people are only too willing to delegate areas of house management to professional service suppliers such as Lawnscience.

ABOUT US

ABOUT US

Join the rapidly expanding lawn care market, come and partner with Lawnscience and we will work with you to build you own business in this buoyant and growing sector.


We 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.


Because 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

Ongoing Support
Your development is continually monitored and reviewed and regular top up training is provided throughout the year giving you support where you need it most - in front of the customer.
Franchisees also work closely together sharing ideas, and help to develop the Lawnscience brand as much as possible. One of the reasons why our franchisees are so successful is because of the strong network that we thrive to develop within Lawnscience.
We offer unlimited support to all franchisees, 24 hours a day 365 days a year. It is far easier to address a problem as soon as it happens, rather than allow it to develop and become more serious, solving issues quickly and affecting business less.


Marketing
The marketing of  your business is key to your success. If people are not aware of the service you provide, you simply do not have a business. We therefore take the marketing of the Lawnscience brand very seriously. We have developed, and constantly refine the most sophisticated marketing systems available in UK  lawn care and this gives us a significant advantage over our competitors.
Marketing is a fundamental element to the training course, so if you don't have any experience in these areas, don't worry. We will guide you through the process, helping you develop and implement a marketing plan throughout the year.


Our Systems
Efficient, effective computerised systems are essential if you are to create and grow your business


profitably. The Lawnscience system was created by the world's leading software developer for Lawn care businesses. It has many advantages over cheaper "home grown" systems. Take the time to see for yourself, it will make growing your business much easier.
