When you consider investing in a lawn care franchise, certain images likely come to mind: mowers, fertilizers, and lush green turf are probably at the forefront. However, many of our potential franchisees don't realize that U.S. Lawns franchise partners are responsible for much more than lawn care. If you live in a region that suffers from harsh winters, fear not -- there are still plenty of valuable services you'll be able to offer your customers during the colder months. We train our franchisees to handle all kinds of important landscaping tasks, from maintaining irrigation systems to battling snow and ice. Being able to handle such a wide array of jobs allows our franchisees the opportunity to develop a wide customer base. Let's learn a little bit more about the many services U.S. Lawns provides.
Depending on what region of the country you're in, snow and ice removal has the potential to make up a major percentage of your profits. Not only are U.S. Lawns franchisees responsible for removing snow and ice when it arrives, they also work with their customers to develop a plan for how to manage their landscape when it arrives. You'll anticipate snow and ice when you plan out the future of each of your landscapes, choosing plants and maintenance strategies that will keep landscapes looking great and staying safe in winter conditions. When the snow and ice arrives, you and your team will help to keep their properties accessible and free of hazards until spring. For some of our franchisees, snow and ice removal makes up a large (and lucrative!) part of their business.
Nothing can ruin a landscape like an improperly-maintained irrigation system. Broken pipes and clogged sprinkler heads can spell disaster for plants, and oftentimes improper winter maintenance is to blame. Our lawn care franchise owners will help their customers save money and keep their landscapes looking great year-round by preparing irrigation systems for winter. While lawn care might not be the top priority during winter in some regions of the country, your services still will be necessary in order to make sure customers are prepared to start watering when spring comes again.
Even if there isn't much snow and ice in your region, chances are you'll still see a few storms every year. Storms can wreak havoc on a beautiful landscape, scattering branches and damaging flowers and turf. During storm season, you'll keep your clients prepared by maintaining their trees and plants so that they're less likely to be damaged by wind. After a storm, you and your team will help undo the damage by being on-site quickly, restoring commercial properties to their safe and beautiful state. Preparing for and cleaning up after storms are important duties of every one of our lawn care franchise owners.
As you can see, lawn care franchise owners are responsible for providing many services year-round. Contact us today to learn more about what it takes to become a U.S. Lawns franchisee!
If you're thinking of joining the ranks of commercial landscape contractors, U.S. Lawns can help! Now is an exciting time to join our industry, and the flexibility you'll enjoy as a franchisee is appealing to anyone looking to change careers. Ours is a great franchise opportunity for anyone with the desire and drive to run their own business, but we're particularly excited about helping veterans to start their new careers. Take a look at a few reasons why U.S. Lawns is an excellent franchise for veterans who are looking for a new career in civilian life.
If you're coming from work experience in the military, chances are you're used to working under a highly-regimented schedule that leaves little room for you to make your own choices about how to spend your time. One of the greatest benefits of owning a franchise is that you'll be able to decide for yourself how you'd like to spend your work day. Think about what you'd do if you were able to decide your own working hours: more time with family? Learning a new hobby? Just relaxing? Owning a franchise takes work, but with the flexibility you'll enjoy, you'll often be able to determine how and when you'd like to be working.
For many veterans, the idea of working a desk job can be daunting. If you're used to being up and about, being stuck at a desk all day doesn't sound like much fun. If you're an outdoorsy type, U.S. Lawns might be just the franchise opportunity for you. You'll be able to work side-by-side with the commercial landscape contractors you'll work with, and can even join them on job sites if you choose. The beauty of a franchise like ours is that whether you'd like to spend more time at your desk or outdoors, you can set your own priorities depending on your preferences. The best part? As your franchise grows, you can transition from working in your business to working on it, so you will always have a new challenge to tackle as a business owner.
As a former member of the military, you understand the value of efficient policies and procedures. When you work for U.S. Lawns, we'll teach you everything you need to know about our time-tested business model. When you follow our system, you'll be able to grow your new business as efficiently and effectively as possible. The beauty of franchising is that you'll be able to take advantage of time-tested systems like ours, but you won't be required to slave away according to someone else's schedule (as you would in a corporate job). Our training program is fine-tuned to teach you everything you'll need to know in order to get your business up and running smoothly. If you're willing to learn the ropes of working with our commercial landscape contractors, you might have just what it takes to thrive as a U.S. Lawns franchisee.
These are just a few reasons that U.S. Lawns is just the company you've been looking for to help you join the ranks of the best commercial landscape contractors around. Contact us today to learn more about what it takes to become a franchisee!
The commercial lawn care services business is booming, and now is a better time than ever to open a franchise of your own. U.S. Lawns has been in business since 1986, and we have three decades of experience helping new franchisees to get their landscaping businesses up and running. We're the perfect choice of partner to get you started in this exciting business! If you're thinking of partnering with us, check out these interesting facts about the commercial lawn care services industry below:
U.S. Lawns deals exclusively with commercial clients. If you're new to the business, you might be wondering why we choose not to accept residential work as well. The fact is that commercial landscaping has a number of advantages over residential landscaping. For one thing, commercial properties need our services -- we help them to maintain a comfortable and professional appearance so that their customers and residents have an enjoyable experience on their property. For them, our services are a necessity, while residential customers often see landscaping services as a luxury that can be eliminated when their budget changes. Furthermore, commercial clients work with us based on a contract, helping to give our franchisees stability and predictability. Residential clients, on the other hand, often pay as they go for services with no contract, making it difficult to predict how long they'll be a client for.
Another interesting fact about our business is that we operate within the B2B (or "business to business) model. That is to say, we offer our services directly to other businesses rather than to the general public. Working with other businesses has a number of advantages, not the least of which is that they need our services. Because we provide necessary services, businesses are less likely to terminate our contract when the economy changes. This makes our business more secure when it comes to ebbs and flows in the economy.
When you become a U.S. Lawns franchisee and begin to offer commercial lawn care services, you'll help your customers to develop a five-year plan for their landscaping. Many people don't realize the level of care and maintenance that goes into even simple plants. You'll help you clients to develop a five-year plan that takes into consideration the life cycles of the plants they choose, the changing seasons, and much more. By working hand-in-hand with your clients to develop this plan, you'll establish yourself as a trusted partner when it comes to the beautification of their property, and you'll demonstrate to them how important it is that they think long-term about their landscaping needs. Building relationships like this is the key to keeping long term clients, repeat business, and positive word of mouth as a business owner.
These are just a few interesting facts about commercial lawn care services. With more than 30 years in the business, US Lawns has the experience to guide you as you break into our business. Contact us today to learn more about becoming a franchisee!
If you’re already the owner of a landscaping business, then you might just have what it takes to own a lawn care franchise with U.S. Lawns. Many landscaping business owners are looking to take their company to the next level or have seen their business plateau. The rise of new competition in the local area can also stymie growth unexpectedly. Even the most savvy, successful business owners need to inject new life into their enterprise to make it thrive. Here are just a few of the benefits you can expect when converting your existing landscaping business to a U.S. Lawns lawn care franchise.
Oftentimes, new independent business owners encounter problems that can usually be attributed to their business model. When you start a new business from scratch, you’re devising your own business model with little assurance that it will actually work. When you convert to a lawn care franchise with U.S. Lawns, however, you will be investing in a company that has been the leader in the commercial landscaping franchise industry for the past 30 years. During that time, we have refined our business model to maximize franchisee success and cultivated a reputation for excellence with both our franchisees and our clients.
We want our franchisees to benefit from our decades of experience, so our turnkey business model gives franchisees all the tools they need. We’ll assign you a personal business advisor, and give you our Roadmap to Success. The Roadmap tells you when and how to expand based on your revenue, and will assist you every step of the way to build a scalable business. We want you to retain the thrill and independence of owning your business, while also allowing you to draw on our years of experience.
Whether your lawn care business hasn’t been as profitable as you’d like, or you’re simply looking for growth opportunities, U.S. Lawns has the infrastructure, brand recognition, support system, and marketing assistance to revitalize your business. The U.S. Lawns network is one of our greatest assets. We have hundreds of franchisees across nearly all 50 states, giving you access to a stellar support system of fellow franchisees, who are always on hand for advice.
In addition to our franchisees, you will also be forming valuable relationships with your personal business advisor. Your business advisor is dedicated to helping you succeed, and is always available for guidance and problem solving.
If you already own and operate a landscaping company, converting your business to a lawn care franchise is far more cost-effective than trying to rebuild your company from scratch. Why let your existing resources go to waste? You probably already have the basic equipment and employees you’ll need, and U.S. Lawns can help you put them to more effective use. Since we do value consistency, we will ask you to make some changes, but we offer special financing and discounts to make the transition as smooth and affordable as possible.
If you want to take your landscaping business to the next level by converting to a U.S. Lawns lawn care franchise, reach out to us today for more information.
