Buy a Clean Air Lawn Care Franchise

Clean Air Lawn Care is an organic, sustainability-focused lawn care franchise serving residential homeowners across the United States. Founded in 2006 and franchising since 2008, the brand built its model around chemical-free turf care: solar- and electric-powered equipment, zero-emission mowing, and custom 100% organic products including its Clean Air Soil Builder and Moose Juice weed control.

The business runs on a recurring-revenue model, with homeowners signing up for ongoing maintenance, fertilization, and soil-building treatments billed year-round. It is a home-based, mobile operation with protected territories, and franchisees can run it as a hands-on owner-operator or build a team and step into a management role. The network spans more than 60 locations nationwide.

Clean Air Lawn Care is the flagship brand of Clean Air Brands, which also runs a Clean Air Mosquito Control concept that owners can add as a related service. Founder and CEO Kelly Giard stays active in operations and owner coaching from the company’s Fort Collins, Colorado headquarters. The brand’s eco-first positioning sets it apart in a category still dominated by gas-powered, chemical-based competitors.

Why buy a Clean Air Lawn Care Franchise?

Clean Air Lawn Care occupies a distinctive niche: it is one of the few national lawn care franchises built entirely around organic, kid- and pet-safe service, giving owners a clear point of difference in a market crowded with conventional chemical providers. That positioning tends to attract loyal, environmentally minded customers and supports recurring, year-round revenue rather than one-off projects.

The home-based, mobile model keeps overhead low, with no retail lease to maintain, and franchisees gain proprietary organic products, solar-powered equipment, a custom CRM, and purchasing co-ops that an independent operator would have to source alone. A close-knit owner network, the annual CALC-CON conference, and an active owner forum give new buyers a ready peer group to draw on.

Clean Air Lawn Care – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training runs five days at the Fort Collins headquarters, covering 30.5 hours of classroom instruction plus 11.5 hours of on-the-job training across soil science, turf management, sales, marketing, accounting, and field operations. Ongoing support spans digital marketing and SEO, website and server management, a custom CRM, billing and accounts-receivable handling, financial proformas, and one-to-one business coaching, plus the annual CALC-CON owner conference and an active owner forum. Resale buyers should confirm with Clean Air what transfer training and CRM and billing-system access are provided when ownership changes.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on, locally engaged operators comfortable working in the field, at least early on, before scaling into a management role. Strong customer-relationship and local-marketing instincts matter more than prior lawn care experience, which the training program is built to supply. A genuine interest in sustainability helps, since the organic, eco-friendly positioning is central to how owners win and keep customers. Owners should be process-driven, comfortable managing recurring accounts and seasonal scheduling, and willing to build a team as the territory grows.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Founder and CEO Kelly Giard was named Entrepreneur Magazine's Emerging Entrepreneur of 2009, early recognition of Clean Air Lawn Care's pioneering organic model. Beyond that, the brand has built its standing as one of the original national sustainable lawn care franchises, earning strong franchisee satisfaction and customer reviews for its eco-friendly, kid- and pet-safe service. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, online reviews, and referral strength, which drive performance at the unit level.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US lawn care and landscaping services market is large and resilient, estimated by IBISWorld at roughly $177 billion in 2026, with around 40-44% of US households paying for professional lawn services according to the National Association of Landscape Professionals. Demand is recurring and seasonal rather than discretionary, and the organic, chemical-free segment is growing as more homeowners prioritize kid-, pet-, and environment-safe options. For resale buyers, local route density and the strength of recurring accounts in a given territory shape revenue more than national totals.
