Head for Greener Pastures & Grow a Business You’ll Love with The Grounds Guys®
For all the corporate world has provided throughout your career, it cannot promise you the bright future you deserve – a future filled with freedom, flexibility and infinite possibility.
The Healthy Roots of Our Model
- A Recurring Customer Base Where many home services require infrequent visits, quality lawncare services are performed weekly, giving your business the chance to capitalize on repeat business.
- You Lead People Who Care for Lawns An executive ownership model, your role is to lead your team of lawncare professionals while building lasting relationships with home and business owners in your community.
- Year-Round Offerings While lawncare is often your “bread and butter” service, you may offer a variety of seasonal services to keep both residential and commercial customers happy year-round.
- We Can Dig Deeper, Not Wider With so many service verticals to choose from, you are able to provide multiple services to the same customer.
You Don’t Have to Dig Deep for Bountiful Benefits
- Work/Life Balance - Enjoy a family-friendly work week, with limited on-call or emergency work.
- Simple Operations - We have a proven, customer service-focused model with few moving parts.

- Prime Territories - We offer protected territories all across North America.
- Recession-Resistant - Regardless of the economy, grass will continue to grow.

- Sure Start Business Training Our Sure Start training is a 4-6 week program combining classroom-style business operations, sales, and marketing training. You won’t be mowing lawns, you’ll be running a business, and we’ll help ensure you know how.
