Lawnpro have dedicated teams and employees to ensure that only the best products are used in the Lawnpro franchise system. Before a product is made available to the franchisees, each product undergoes vigorous testing to make sure that the desired results are achieved.
The Lawnpro brand name is already well established in most areas, and most people will know Lawnpro as the leaders in Lawn Care throughout South Africa.
Lawnpro offers complete training to all its franchisees. After completion of the Lawnpro in-house training module, you will be able to refer to yourself as a Lawn Doctor.

The Lawnpro CRM system was specifically designed with the franchisees at heart, to help them to save time whilst still presenting potential customers with the best possible advice.
As a Lawnpro franchisee, you will be able to purchase lawn care products at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost other companies that are also in the lawn care industry. This is mainly thanks to the massive buying power the franchisor has, as well the relationships that we have built up over many years in the Lawn care industry.
You can now work from the comfort of your home, do your own planning, and earn your own money. You can now be your own boss.
