Domestic Lawn Treatment
Lawnscience Is A Professional Lawncare Company Operating Mainly In
The Domestic Market.
The lawncare market started in the U.S. where today over 25% of
homes receive regular lawn treatments. In the UK market
approximately 5% of homes benefit from this service, leaving a
substantial market potential to develop.
If we take a typical catchment area
of 150,000 homes a single van franchise should develop a annual
turnover in access of £60,000.
|
 We provide our customers with a regular
cycle of lawn treatments throughout the year,
so there’s no “down time” over thewinter period as in many garden service
concepts.
As well as treating lawns we update our customers as to issues
that might affect the quality their lawns and we recommend
treatments to prevent or overcome relevant issues.
The treatment programs we provide
have been developed with Europe’s foremost supplier of lawn
fertilisers and chemical treatments. The products we use create
outstanding results and cannot be purchased from retail
outlets.
Our customers appreciate the level
of service we provide which in
turn generates a substantial volume of new business
referrals.

Is Lawncare The Business For You?
The lawncare market is an exiting and challenging business
opportunity, we love it. But it will not be the right business for
everyone so it’s important right from the outset that we are
honest about its pro’s and con’s. The last thing we
want is to recruit people into a business that is not right for
them; it would be a bad decision for both of us.
So from the outset we will not try to sell you a franchise, all we
will do is to show you the business opportunity and help you
understand the potential financial performance and then we will
leave the decision to progress up to you.
What We Can Tell You About The Business?
- Its and outdoor business, great
in summer, but sometimes a little chilly in winter.
- It’s a
“service” business, it’s obvious, but worth
restating, we provide a great service to our customers. If you do
not enjoy meeting people and providing great service then
this is not the business for you.
- Like all new business it will
require your drive and determination to make it grow.
- It’s a business you can run
from home, reducing your outgoings and allowing you to work
flexibly.
- With hard work and a commitement
to providing great customer service you can build a business asset
to either sell on or pass on to a member of your
family.
