Number of units
Lawn Squad had 7 total units in 2024, of which 0 were franchised-owned and 7 company-owned.
Lawn Squad provides comprehensive training to franchisees and their designated employees through various structured programs. The franchisor offers a pre-opening training program that includes a combination of self-paced virtual training, guided virtual sessions, and in-person classroom and field training.
This training program typically spans seven weeks and is designed to equip participants with proficiency in service delivery, technology usage, and operational standards.
Additionally, Lawn Squad mandates post-opening training programs as necessary, which can be conducted in-person, via video, or online. Franchisees are responsible for their travel and related costs for all training sessions.
The franchisor also provides optional refresher courses and requires attendance at annual conventions to ensure ongoing alignment with brand standards.
Territory Protection
Lawn Squad grants franchisees a protected territory where no other franchise under the same brand will be operated, provided the franchisee complies with the agreement. However, this protection is not exclusive, as the franchisor may advertise or engage in brand-related activities within the territory.
Franchisees may face indirect competition from other franchisor-operated businesses under different trademarks or channels. Operating outside the designated territory requires prior consent to ensure compliance with franchisor policies.
