We are not looking for people that want to work on customers’ lawns. Multi-unit ambitions and marketing and sales experience are a plus. We are operating in a blue collar industry, but run the business in a very white glove-white collar way. We seek owners who want to be the best in class lawn treatement professional in their respective market.
