What Sets Us Apart

The Best Products & Service in the Industry

As a Weed Man franchisee, you’ll have access to the best products in the industry. This includes Weed Man’s 65% slow-release, golf course quality fertilizer. This product is exclusive to Weed Man and is recommended by golf course superintendents over our competitors’ fertilizer products.

Our products are all federally tested and registered by the EPA and the PMRA, both of which are committed to the health and safety of North Americans.

When it comes to service, Weed Man franchisees have earned a glowing reputation for standing behind our “Promises Kept” philosophy. Customers have peace of mind knowing that their investment is backed by Weed Man’s 100% guarantee.

Locally Owned & Operated

Weed Man franchises are all locally owned and operated. This messaging goes a long way for lawn care consumers, who place a priority on trust. The promise of attentive local ownership guided by a dedication to professionalism and customer service sets Weed Man apart from larger national companies, giving our brand a competitive edge that continues to gain momentum in the United States.

Professional Appearance & Approach

Weed Man is an established franchised lawn care organization that prides itself on how it looks and how we work with our customers. Whether it involves our uniformed staff or brightly painted, clean trucks, there is instant recognition that high brand standards are being followed.

Additionally, our technicians are thoroughly trained in agronomy and in the proper procedures for all products used for the maintenance of healthy lawns. Using the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) preventive approach recommended by governments, Weed Man Professionals work with homeowners to prevent problems through basic mowing, watering and fertilizing practices that will stave off most serious turf grass problems.

Protected Territories

As a Weed Man franchisee, you’ll enjoy exclusive rights to the territory or territories you purchase. Since our territories are completely protected, you’ll never have to worry about competing with other Weed Man franchisees for customers. We’re committed to helping you build your business, and by offering protected territories we’re helping to ensure your success.

Comprehensive Training

From your initial training to ongoing seminars to the constant support of your franchisor, you’re never alone. The Weed Man family goes out of its way to make sure that you’re thoroughly trained and primed for success.

Exclusive Computer System

Our state-of-the-art, user-friendly computer system was developed exclusively for Weed Man. Beyond tracking what you’ve done and what you have scheduled, our system helps you to create and achieve significant benchmarks of success.

Marketing Systems

Weed Man serves nearly half a million lawn care customers across North America, thanks in part to the superior marketing systems we’ve developed for our franchisees over the years. All elements of our marketing systems are rigorously tested in our corporate and franchisor offices before being introduced to our franchisees. Weed Man’s marketing systems are designed to provide sophisticated tools that allow you to build long lasting relationships with your customers while carefully measuring your results.
