The Grounds Guys - Franchise

Since 2010, The Grounds Guys® has provided a variety of landscaping and lawn care services as a nationally recognized industry leader. The Grounds Guys franchise owners serve customers in more than 250 locations across North America. Whether converting an existing landscaping business or starting a new one, franchise owners looking to be their own boss have the support and resources to pursue their dream of business ownership in a growing industry.

The Grounds Guys is proud to be a part of Neighborly®, the world’s largest home services franchise with 19 brands and more than 5,000 locations focused on repairing, maintaining, and enhancing properties. Utilizing decades of experience and scale through the Neighborly Hub, this multi-brand portfolio provides our franchise owners with distinct advantages like improved networking opportunities and customer referrals between brands in the same local market, ultimately creating value for franchise owners and customers alike.

The Neighborly Done Right Promise™ is a core component of putting customer service first by taking the stress out of home maintenance, having pride in the work that gets done, and promising to make things right. Additionally, the culture across the entire family of brands is embodied by the Neighborly Code of Values, which emphasizes the importance of fostering a set of ideals that guide the organization. These elements, while small to some, set Neighborly and The Grounds Guys franchise owners apart from the competition.

Why Franchise With The Grounds Guys?

No Industry Experience Required: By utilizing an executive ownership model where you make the decisions and manage your own business, you won’t need to push a lawn mower to be successful, especially after hiring an expert staff.

Multiple Revenue Streams: Balancing a high-end residential and light commercial customer base provides a variety of demands that require various solutions. Depending on your market, different services based on the season increase the likelihood of return customers.

Prime Territories: With available territories in some of the fastest-growing markets, there’s ample space and demand to establish your franchise. Better yet, thanks to designated territories, you’ll be able to collaborate and share best practices with other The Grounds Guys locations instead of compete for the same customers.

ProTradeNet® Buying Power: Exclusively available to Neighborly brand franchise owners, you’ll have access to discounts and rebates from over 250 preferred vendors, such as SiteOne Landscape Supply and Ewing Outdoor Supply. In 2023, Neighborly brand franchise owners who joined PTN collectively received over $8.7 million in rebates and $98 million in up-front savings.

Award-Winning Recognition: With more than a decade of success, The Grounds Guys has been recognized by leading organizations within the franchising space, such as Entrepreneur Franchise 500®, Franchise Business Review Top 200, and Franchise Times Top 400®.

There is a high demand for drywall repair services, but most general contractors and larger construction companies won’t take on small repair or installation jobs, and handyman services don’t have the expertise to deliver the seamless results that they do.
