GOT QUESTIONS?

We look for potential franchise owners who are born business leaders with a solid commitment to customer service. We prefer that our franchisees be owner-operators who are heavily involved in the business. And, we prefer franchise owners who have a background in landscaping or lawn care. But rest assured, we can teach you everything you need to know about running a Lush Lawn franchise effectively. 

We will provide you and your management team with an intensive training program at our headquarters in Waterford, MI. We will also spend time with you locally to train you on the best lawn care maintenance programs for your area. Our team will help you prepare for your grand opening and connect you with our suppliers, offering you significant discounts on supplies and chemicals. We will coach you through all the important details. You will also gain access to our detailed confidential operations manual, which includes all of our established operating practices, custom chemical mixes and other lawn care trade secrets so you can replicate the complete Lush Lawn experience in your area. 

The estimated initial investment to begin operations ranges from $167,000 to $315,000. This includes a $38,000 initial franchise fee for a single territory agreement. As with any new venture, adequate capital is essential to fund the initial business growth stages.

We do not provide direct financing to franchise owners, but we may refer to financing sources on a case-by-case basis. 

We collect an 8.0% royalty fee based on net revenues each month. Fees such as this allow us to fund our ongoing support services and the continued development of techniques and procedures, planning, marketing tools, training programs and systems upgrades. Please refer to our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) for a full list of fees and requirements.

Franchise owners are expected to spend $12,000 on initial marketing and promotions for a lawn services franchise in their territory, and they must also invest 10.0% of revenues in local marketing on an ongoing basis. Franchise owners will also contribute 3.0% of net revenues to the brand marketing fund as Lush Lawn franchisees (this can increase to 5.0%). The collected funds will be used to develop marketing strategies to promote the Lush Lawn brand and cover the costs of creating brand marketing materials and campaigns, for the benefit of the entire Lush Lawn network. 

The initial term of your agreement is seven years, with three subsequent successor agreement options of five years each.
