Common questions
Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.
How much does a LAWN DOCTOR Franchise franchise cost?
LAWN DOCTOR Franchise's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $136K–$164K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $50,000, and is included in that range.
What royalty does LAWN DOCTOR Franchise charge?
LAWN DOCTOR Franchise charges a continuing royalty of 10% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. A separate brand or advertising fund contribution of 5% applies on top. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.
Does LAWN DOCTOR Franchise disclose earnings (Item 19)?
Yes. LAWN DOCTOR Franchise makes a financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. Item 19 is optional under the FTC Franchise Rule, and gross revenue is not profit — it is stated before royalties, rent, staff and every other cost.
How many LAWN DOCTOR Franchise locations closed?
In its most recent reported year (2025), LAWN DOCTOR Franchise opened 54, closed 2, terminated 8 franchised outlets, ending the year with 1344. Averaged over three years, 0.7% of the system turned over annually — outlets closed, terminated, not renewed or reacquired. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.
Does LAWN DOCTOR Franchise give a protected territory?
No. LAWN DOCTOR Franchise's Item 12 does not grant an exclusive or protected territory, which means the franchisor may place another outlet nearby.
