Buy a GrassRoots Turf Franchise

GrassRoots Turf is a family-owned lawn care franchise founded in 2002 by Josh Wise in Acworth, GA, offering comprehensive services like fertilization, weed control, pest management, tree/shrub care, and mosquito control. Since franchising in 2019, it has expanded to 19+ units, emphasizing a unique monthly installment billing model for steady cash flow—unlike seasonal competitors affected by rain or holidays.

With initial investments from $136K-$314K (franchise fee $49.5K), it’s ideal for hands-on owners seeking scalable growth without absentee operation.
