Invest in a franchise that is the first national lawn care franchise on the Which? Trusted Trader scheme.

For more than 16 years, Greensleeves has provided top quality lawn treatments to gardens across the country. With over 75 franchises throughout the UK, and more due to launch this year, we are going from strength to strength.

This is also due to the enormous potential within the lawn care market with the industry showing healthy growth at over 30%. With an estimated 18,000,000 lawns in the UK at present and growing, there is more than enough opportunity to establish a successful franchise in this sector. We have repeat business with over 90% of our customers and recommendations are the main source of new business for an established franchise.

Which? Trusted Traders endorsement

>This accolade speaks volumes about Greensleeves and the quality of service we provide to customers. This commitment to quality and service naturally carries through the business to the way in which the company cares for its franchisees. We believe this endorsement along with that of independent lawn expert and author of Modern Lawncare, David Hedges-Gower, elevates our brand significantly above those of rival companies.

What do Greensleeves look for in a franchisee?

An absolute commitment to customer service is the most important skill you will possess.

It is important to us that you have the appetite to grow a business to its full potential and maintain the high levels of customer service that we currently provide to our many thousands of existing customers.

You will be somebody who is not work shy and take on the challenges that running your own franchise business brings. Franchisees need to be able to manage a daily routine that requires a degree of semi-physical activity. You need to be flexible and self-motivated; very few business opportunities offer success without hard work, commitment and long and often unsocial hours.
