Industries we serve · Lawn care & landscaping

Launch your lawn care or landscaping business in about 30 days — without franchise fees.

You don’t need a franchise badge to look legit. You need clear services, simple pricing, and an easy way for people to request quotes and book jobs without playing phone tag.

On this call, we’ll talk through your lawn care or landscaping idea, your budget, and your timeline — and give you an honest recommendation, even if that’s DIY or a different route.

Why lawn care businesses stall at “word of mouth only”

Most lawn care and landscaping businesses don’t struggle because the work is bad. They struggle because the business runs out of a truck, a phone, and memory — with no real system behind it.

  • Quotes live in texts and notes, so follow-up is hit-or-miss.
  • There’s no central place that explains what you do and where you work.
  • Scheduling is a puzzle of calls, DMs, and “I’ll swing by when I can.”
  • Recurring clients fall through the cracks because nothing tracks them.

What we set up for lawn care & landscaping businesses

Franchise Free gives you a simple, repeatable system so you can spend more time on lawns and less time wrestling with tools and admin.

  • A clean website that explains your services, service areas, and process.
  • Quote and booking forms that collect the details you actually need.
  • Online payments so you’re not chasing checks and cash at the end of the day.

Common questions from lawn care & landscaping owners

Do I have to switch all my tools?

Not necessarily. If you already use tools like Square, Calendly, or a basic CRM, we’ll either plug them into a cleaner system or recommend a simpler setup if you’re overcomplicating it.

Can this work if I’m still part-time?

Yes. The goal is to give you a system that works whether you’re running evenings and weekends or going full-time later — without rebuilding everything from scratch.

What does working together actually look like?

We’ll clarify your offers and pricing, design your site and booking flow, set up payments and CRM, and leave you with a written 30–90 day plan. Most of the tech work is done for you with a few focused working sessions.
