Achieving consistency of offering in this segment means companies must implement well-defined strategic training and business planning to ensure client needs are being met and exceeded. Brands that focus on the people that they employ and serve are the ones that experience the most noticeable growth and revenue. ## Lawn care services Established in 1967, Lawn Doctor has grown its enterprise far beyond the New Jersey hardware store where the brand began by delivering on its commitment to customize lawn care plans for its customers. Offering year-round maintenance including fertilization, aeration, weed and insect control and more, each Lawn Doctor franchise is its own independently owned and operated office. Mosquito Joe has grown in size and revenue in its short history because of its ability to provide both residential and commercial customers with a reliable and effective pest control service. The Virginia Beach, Virginia-based brand’s franchise units are all independently owned, so customers employ dependable technicians that are trusted community members with the added benefit of being supported by a national network of technical expertise. Round-the-clock residential and commercial restoration services is the name of the game for Servpro, a franchise brand that has been mitigating disasters for its clients since 1967. Servpro works to repair water damage, fire damage and storm damage while also handling mold remediation and other commercial cleaning services. ## Restoration and maintenance While The Grounds Guys brand only began franchising in 2010, it existed as the brainchild of 10 brothers for years before that. In 1987, the van Stralen brothers founded Sunshine Grounds Care, a landscape maintenance business that gained a reputation for its superior work ethic, attention to detail and customer satisfaction. Eventually, the brothers partnered with The Dwyer Group to leverage their successful business experience into a new franchised lawn care company. The Glass Guru was founded in 2004 in Roseville, California with the goal of rectifying some of the issues that come with dual-paned windows present in most homes without a total window replacement. The brand began by offering moisture removal for failed dual-pane windows and surface restoration for scratched or stained windows. Memphis, Tennessee-based TruGreen is the largest lawn services provider in the U.S. The brand has helped 2.3 million residential and commercial customers in the U.S. and Canada with lawn, tree and shrub care since 1973. TruGreen leverages its scientific approach and responsible practices to educate its employees and innovate its service so clients can choose from a variety of plans that allow them to spend more time outdoors. ## Landscape management U.S. Lawns is a commercial landscape management and grounds care service based in Orlando, Florida with franchises dispersed throughout 43 U.S. states. The brand came into existence in 1986 and began franchising a year later, and in the three-plus decades since, has grown into the nation’s largest commercial lawn care service and a top-5 largest landscaping company. Window Genie is a Cincinnati, Ohio-based brand that began as a window cleaning service in 1994. Soon after, founder Richard Nonelle realized that customers in the market for window cleaning were also seeking services like deck cleaning and house washing, so he capitalized on that demand. Mosquito Squad was born in the mid-2000s when its signature protective barrier spray was developed to protect outdoor lighting installers from mosquitos while on the job. In 2005, the brand expanded their service to residential customers, becoming the first mosquito control business in the U.S. Fresh Coat, a residential and commercial painting service franchise with over a decade of experience, maintains a strong presence in the outdoor home service segment due to its versatility and organized business model. Recognizing that a fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference in any space, the eco-friendly brand offers painting services both large and small. ## Entities - 1851 Franchise (publication) - Home Services (sector) - Mosquito Joe (company) - Lawn Doctor (company) - restoration services (topic) - The Glass Guru (company) - Fresh Coat (company) - Mosquito Squad (company) - Dwyer Group (company) - lawn care (topic) - SERVPRO (company) - The Grounds Guys (company) --- Originally reported by 1851 Franchise (https://1851franchise.com/top-outdoor-home-service-franchises-over-50-units-2708485).
