Casselberry, who purchased the […]

Happy Veteran’s Day from Spring-Green Lawn Care
We at Spring-Green would like to take a moment to thank all our military veterans, past, present and future, for all they have done in service of our nation and our way of life. We are lucky to have many veterans who have contributed to Spring-Green’s success throughout the years, both in corporate leadership positions—like Navy veteran and Spring-Green chairman Tom Hofer—and as franchise owner operators. As members of the International Franchise Association’s VetFran program, a program developed during the Gulf War in the 1990s, Spring-Green’s military history is evident […]
Spring-Green Lawn Care Designated #1 Lawn and Tree Care Franchise System
It is our pleasure to announce that we have been designated as The Franchise Research Institute’s Top-Rated Lawn and Tree Care Franchise System this year! The rating is determined by the results of our annual franchise survey, which asks franchisees to rate the overall quality of their franchisor, their relationship with their franchisor, and the effectiveness of the systems and procedures their franchise system has in place to help them. The results are deeply meaningful to us, since they are comprised of feedback directly from our franchisees. Spring-Green has worked […]
Happy Halloween from Spring-Green Lawn Care!
It’s Halloween which means lots of decorated lawns and houses, costumes for kids and adults, and that wonderful yearly tradition of trick or treating. Many will take the time to admire elaborate displays on neighbors’ lawns when they’re out and about with the kids on Halloween night, but it’s easier to forget that your lawn needs special care in the fall to make sure it is prepared to survive the winter. Luckily, we’ve got some helpful tips. First, lower the height of your mower. You want your lawn to enter […]

Making the transition easier
Nothing lasts forever, and that includes business. There are many reasons an owner may decide to close their Spring-Green business including things like relocation, lifestyle changes and, perhaps most importantly, retirement. Part of being a good franchise company is not just creating a welcoming entry into the system, but also a smooth transition when it is time to exit. Because the services we offer through our Spring-Green businesses can quickly become a vital part of an owner’s community, we are invested in keeping franchises open even when their owners are […]
