we're growing!

Green, healthy and growing; this is the story of the Weed Man franchise. It began in 1970 when Desmond Rice became the first Weed Man turf grass specialist. Forty years later, Des is still the owner and leader of the management team working with over 350 franchisees in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Weed Man can best be described as a blue chip franchise with deep, green roots in the community. The highly visible Weed Man brand is firmly established in the mind of Canadian lawn lovers. Weed Man is the trusted 'go to' industry leader as well as a textbook example of how to do everything properly in a franchise. Everything.

So, what exactly does a Weed Man franchise do to gain the trust of its raving customers? We deliver repeatable results, and we do it professionally and thoughtfully. We look after every aspect of maintaining a lush and healthy lawn. We are at the forefront of the green lawn revolution by using earth friendly, organic methods. We don't plant lawns and we don't mow lawns. We specialize. We do one thing and we do it expertly: we keep our customers' lawns green, healthy and lovely.

Our target market, as you might imagine, is massive.

And how does Weed Man gain the trust of its franchisees? Let's ask one of our franchisees. John Ladds is the Weed Man franchisee for the Brantford (ON) market. Here's John's response to the question 'how do you feel about being a Weed Man franchisee'?

"I have been with Weed Man since 1986 and have had numerous experiences within the company and witnessed many changes. The brand has grown across Canada and now dominates to the point that it is a household name. Weed Man is the market leader in Canada. The company has been able to adapt and take advantage of all the unique and prevailing opportunities.

I really enjoy what I do and truly cannot see myself doing anything else. Weed Man is a great business!"

John's response is typical of a Weed Man franchisee. If you're seriously considering becoming a Weed Man franchisee, then we'd encourage you to speak to any of our existing franchisees.
