Why Choose 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.

History
It all started with an Irish immigrant with an entrepreneurial spirit, determined to make a comfortable living in his new home of Canada. In 1970, the late Desmond Rice launched Weed Man Lawn Care with his wife, Brenda, to meet the rising demand for professional lawn care, weed control, and pest management services in his local community. Armed with a single pickup truck and a passion for creating healthy outdoor spaces, Des soon became known by neighborhood children as the “Weed Man.” It wasn’t long before Des and Brenda managed to turn Weed Man into Canada’s premier lawn care company, and, in 1976, the two began extending the brand’s reach by franchising the concept nationwide. Twenty years later, Weed Man entered the U.S. market – thanks to an inspired idea by Weed Man USA’s former C.E.O., Roger Mongeon. Now sold out in Canada, Weed Man is rapidly growing across the United States and features over 725 unit territories servicing more than half a million customers. Built on core values of amazing service, integrity, passion, and innovation, it’s no wonder Weed Man has become North America’s fastest-growing franchise lawn care business, earning recognition from some of the biggest names in the industry – including Forbes, Lawn & Landscape, Landscape Management, CNBC, Entrepreneur, and Franchise Business Review. With over $213 million in system sales, Weed Man is now the leading franchised lawn care company in the green industry.
