ESS022 Lawn services - Lifestyle business with solid income on the beautiful Sunshine Coast

If you enjoy working outdoors and are looking for a profitable business with a proven track record, this could be the opportunity you are looking for.

The Coochie HydroGreen franchise model is based on delivering programmed lawn services (6 per year) for regular customers who want their lawn to look green and healthy. This involves spraying lawns with soluble fertiliser and weed, pest and disease control products.

Coochie HydroGreen is Australia’s leading technical lawn care franchise, operating successfully since 1996. This is an exclusive franchise territory encompassing Maroochydore and hinterland.

Coochie HydroGreen customers want an attractive lawn but don't have the time or expertise to achieve this themselves. Properties serviced are predominantly in residential areas and include suburban homes, body corporate apartment complexes and acreage properties.

This business currently has 220 Lawn Care Program customers, plus a large pool of Casual customers who use the service from time to time.

The franchise is currently run as an owner/operator business with no staff. The current customer base takes 3 days per week to service on average, which allows plenty of scope for growth.

Operating hours are flexible and you can arrange your service schedule so that it works best for you. Make every weekend a long weekend if you wish.

Coochie's unique scheduling system means that you get enjoy 4 weeks’ holiday per year. How many small businesses get a holiday at all?
