Why Weed Man?
Lawn Care is Part of the Rapidly Growing Green Industry
While growth has been fueled by expansion of the housing market over the last several years, demographic trends indicate growth that will extend beyond the housing boom, with an increasingly greater percentage of homeowners hiring a professional lawn and landscape maintenance company.
Across the United States, our industry represents more than $105 billion annually. The growth averages approximately $3 billion per year. Industry standards show that 40% of all US homeowners will use a lawn care company this year alone.
It’s rewarding to know that our customers feel at ease and satisfied by our services and results in the same way we feel fulfilled and confident in the Weed Man organization and systems. —Josh Fromme – Owner, Weed Man Bloomington, IL / Springfield, IL
High Margins & Recurring Revenues
Weed Man Averages a 75-80% Customer Retention Rate
Lawn care services were among the highest-ranked in a recent Lawn & Landscape survey and Research USA study, reported by Lawn and Landscape Market Trends. A well-run lawn care company automatically renews the vast majority of customers from year to year, allowing the company to focus marketing efforts on net growth.
Limited Exposure to Recession
With the average annual cost of service around $500 per year, lawn care is a small slice of the consumer’s disposable income and one of the last budget items to be cut when belt-tightening is necessary. Also shielding lawn care from exposure to recession is its high perceived value as a low-cost service that enhances both property value and pride of ownership.
COVID-19
Weed Man was deemed an essential service very early on. Working in an outdoor environment with very little customer contact means that we are able to provide a safe, hands-free investment for homeowners during the pandemic.
With so many people staying home and saving money that would have otherwise been used toward seasonal travel and recreation, they are more likely than ever to invest those dollars into their homes. It makes sense: homeowners want to beautify their yards because they're spending so much extra time tethered to their own properties.
Winning with Weed Man

All elements of Weed Man’s systems have been rigorously tested, refined, and ultimately proven to increase efficiency and profitability before being introduced to our franchisees. As a Weed Man franchisee, you’ll have access to sophisticated tools that will allow you to build long-lasting relationships with your customers while carefully measuring your results.
Ideal Candidate
Our best franchisees are hard working, have good communication skills, hold themselves accountable, and are self-starters with the ability to follow proven, successful systems. They enjoy working with others and accept the responsibility of setting their own work schedule and hours. Candidates must have the enthusiasm and the ability to sell superior products and possess the desire to deliver high quality service to consumers.
