Franchise Overview…
The
service extends from providing professional advice, to complete
renovation programmes. At the heart of the service success is the
need for a very high volume of repeat businesses throughout the
following months and future years.The materials we use are only
available to professional green keepers and turf maintenance
specialists and cannot be bought in shops, garden centres or DIY
stores.
The granular fertiliser that is used is specially designed to
release its nutrients in a time-controlled way over a 2-3 month
period according to the soil temperature and moisture levels. You
will learn to use the correct balance of nutrients and trace
elements for the time of year that the treatment occurs. Designed
and manufactured to ISO9001 quality standards the same products are
used at prestigious venues like the Wentworth Golf Course and the
Wimbledon All England Lawn Tennis Club.

- Recommend aeration & scarification as required.

As the
business becomes established we will help you manage your growth,
help you take on supporting staff together with extra
vehicles and equipment. We are committed to helping you build
a successful and valuable business. It should be seen as an
on-going business relationship with long-term rewards. The way that
the management fees are calculated means that your success is our
success, if you grow, so do we. We will do everything we can to
enhance that growth.
Could you be our next
Franchisee?
You will need to be motivated and committed to
running a dynamic business. Most of our franchisees tend to be from
a supervisory or management background and are looking to
“build a business” not “buy a job”.
Potential franchisees often are from a background where they either
have been in a similar trade or have a love of lawns. They are
often golfers or cricketers who have always been interested in
beautiful lawns. You need to be fairly fit, as there tends to be a
lot of walking involved.The franchise can be
started from home, using a home office and garage for storage, but
we would expect franchisees to move into a unit as the business
expands and takes on more staff.
