8:00 AM

Meet the crew on site.

Coffee in hand, first property of the day. A quick word with the crew lead on what matters here, and the mowers start. You already know which vendor is where and which client called last night. It’s all in the software.

9:30 AM

Walk the grounds. Get to know them.

You ask the property manager what’s been bugging them, what their tenants notice and what a good year looks like. You listen more than you talk. They can tell you care about the place as much as they do, and that’s where the relationship starts.

11:00 AM

The crew finishes. You check the work.

Edges straight, clippings off the walk, beds clean. If something’s missed, you call the vendor before the client notices.

1:30 PM

Price the next job.

A medical office down the road wants weekly mowing and winter snow. You scope it with a vendor and send the proposal.

2:30 PM

Follow up on open bids.

The office park you quoted last week calls back with a question about snow. You answer it, they sign, and you book the vendor to start Monday.

3:30 PM

Call a future client.

A property manager you met last month. No hard pitch. Every commercial property needs its grounds cared for, so you’re offering a service they already buy. You check in, listen and stay the name they think of.

4:30 PM

Close the laptop. Repeat tomorrow.

Relationships built. Sites handled. Bids out. A deal closed. Tomorrow you do it again, and that rhythm is what builds the business.

That’s one day in the seat

Build your empire.

What a ManageMowed business sells

ManageMowed is a commercial landscaping franchise. Your business sells recurring lawn, bed, tree and shrub care and snow removal to offices, retail centers, HOAs, and medical and industrial sites. Independent landscaping vendors do the work. You set the standard and check it.

Your next step

Your commercial landscaping business starts with one call.

Take 15 minutes. Talk through your goals, your city and how you would run it.

Schedule a call

01A 15-minute call about your goals
02Review the FDD, territory and investment
03Talk with current owners before you decide

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Do I need to run a landscaping crew?

No. Independent vendors bring the crews and equipment. You manage client relationships, coordinate service and check the work. Your investment still includes the applicable vehicle and operating costs in the FDD.

What if I’m new to landscaping or business ownership?

You have work to learn, and support to learn it. Training covers sales, vendor management, client service, software and financial management. Talk through the skills you bring and where you would need help.

Can I run it myself or hire an account manager?

You can serve as the Account Manager or hire a qualified employee approved by ManageMowed. Item 15 requires that role to be full time, at least 35 hours a week. It says at least 20 of those hours should be dedicated to business development. You also designate a Managing Owner responsible for financial, operational and legal matters. Review Item 15 and the staffing costs before choosing your approach.

What if I already own a business?

Your business experience gives you a place to start. This franchise still needs its own funding, training and management plan. Decide who will run daily operations. Plan how you will oversee the work alongside your current business.

How will I find my first clients?

You lead business development and follow-up. The Market Intro Program provides 300 hours of lead-generation and call-center support over 12 months. Its $32,800 fee is a separate cost in the Item 7 total. Outreach support does not guarantee leads, clients or sales.

Does the map mean my city is available?

No. The map illustrates a footprint using Census establishments, not the actual inventory of commercial properties. ManageMowed confirms territory mapping and availability during discovery.

What happens when I schedule a call?

Choose a time for a 15-minute introductory phone call. Start with your goals and the model. If you continue, review the FDD and territory, speak with franchisees and work through discovery before deciding.
