Lawn Care Franchise UK
with LawnTender Limited

Thinking about a change of career or lifestyle... or perhaps both?

We believe that LawnTender offers an excellent choice for individuals who are keen to develop a customer focused, professional business, which will deliver the opportunity to generate significant revenues and a healthy lifestyle.

Householders in the UK are now becoming aware of the benefits of using a company like LawnTender to provide regular schedules treatments to their lawns. And with approximately 18 million homes in the UK, the market potential is enormous and relatively untapped.

The proposition is clear – an expert service that costs less than doing it yourself, using specialist products to ensure a year round lush green lawn. Our goal is – No Weeds, No Moss, No Hassle!

Why LawnTender?

Since 2005 we have been expanding our business through business format franchising. Our approach and focus has been on creating a high quality, ethical franchise - enabling us to achieve Full Membership of the British Franchise Association (although we decided not to extend our membership). For potential franchisees we have proved that our business meets four key criteria: that the business is viable, franchisable, ethical and fully disclosed. Furthermore, we have a proven trading and franchising record. As a potential franchisee, this should be important to you as it shows we are a reputable franchisor.

As a franchisee for LawnTender, you will receive all the skills, equipment, support and training required to quickly establish and grow a differentiated lawn treatment service in your protected area. Although we are small, we pride ourselves on fully supporting our franchisees, providing the very best equipment and processes to help them make their own business a success.

Do you want a change?

Our current franchisees are from quite different backgrounds but all wanted a complete change from their previous jobs and lifestyles.

"...Now, three years on, we are running a successful and profitable business. It’s hard work, challenging and yet very rewarding. We have developed a large and regular customer data base. However, we cannot afford to be complacent, so when time permits, it is spent leaflet dropping and attending local shows in order to promote our business and attract new customers."
Sue and Kevin, LawnTender franchisees.

"...I purchased a franchise with LawnTender in 2007 and this now gives me a comfortable income that allows me to follow the lifestyle that I want. That said, the potential is there for me to expand the business to almost any level that I desire.

Without the training, IT support, marketing expertise, and product and equipment knowledge of LawnTender I might still be having that office based existence wondering what else I could turn my hand to!"
Rob, LawnTender franchisee.
