Why The Landscaping Industry?
A History of Consistent Growth and a Lush Future
Growth in home values in many areas of the country has helped fuel a surge in refinancing, where many homeowners are investing "cash-out" dollars into home and landscaping improvements. Historically, the landscaping industry has experienced significant growth, and even despite the trying times such as the pandemic of 2020, the numbers suggest the industry is well-positioned for future growth.

As a franchise owner with The Ground Guys, your lawn care business can provide you with more than just professional rewards. Scientific research reveals that spending time with your team outdoors and being in nature can provide a host of health and well-being benefits, including:
- Increased happiness
- More energy
- Improved memory
