Grow beyond what you thought possible with a management franchise from the largest lawn care brand in the world.

TruGreen is designed for business-minded individuals who want to build a business that grows through structure rather than guesswork.

This is a management-led franchise. Your role is to plan, lead, and develop the operation, rather than deliver the service yourself. With consistent execution, franchise owners can work towards managing a business with the potential to reach around £350,000 annual turnover within five years

Growth comes from scale, not from working longer hours.

WHY THE LAWN CARE MARKET WORKS

Professional lawn care is an established and expanding market.

  • 87 percent of UK households have a garden
  • Over 23 million homes fall within our core addressable market
  • More than 100,000 new homes are built each year
  • Demand grows alongside housing, not trends

Lawn care is a repeat, seasonal service. Customers return year after year, creating predictable demand rather than one-off work.

THE TRUGREEN BUSINESS MODEL

TruGreen is not an owner-operated franchise.

From day one, you run the business as a manager. Your focus is on growth activity, supported by a proven structure. Your focus is on:

  • Implementing structured, seasonal marketing plans
  • Managing customer acquisition and retention
  • Building and leading a team of technicians
  • Working closely with the franchise support team

You do growth work, not day-to-day service delivery.

BUILDING A TEAM AND GROWING CAPACITY

In the early stages, a senior technician is the face of your business, delivering services and building customer trust.

As demand grows, additional technicians are trained to expand capacity. Over time, senior technicians can support marketing and administration, allowing you to focus on leadership and growth.

You are not expected to design processes yourself. The structure is already in place.

WHO IS THIS FRANCHISE SUITED TO

TruGreen is suited to people who want to run and grow a business, rather than deliver the service themselves.

You are likely to be a good fit if you:

  • Want to manage people and performance, not work on the tools
  • Are comfortable leading a small team and building capacity
  • Prefer structured marketing and sales activity to ad-hoc selling
  • Are motivated by long-term business value rather than short-term income
  • Can commit full time to developing the business

You do not need lawn care experience, but you do need ambition, focus, and the willingness to follow a proven structure.

A CLEAR DISCOVERY PROCESS

TruGreen follows a four-step discovery process so you can assess the opportunity properly.

  1. Introduction meeting
  2. Brand leader meeting
  3. Financial and territory planning
  4. UK franchise support office review

There is no financial commitment during this stage.

If you are looking to build a scalable service business with structure, repeat demand, and long-term value, TruGreen is worth exploring.
