Garden Lawn Care Business Booms in Economic RecessionThursday 1st May 2008
As Good As Grass editor: While the artificial lawn industry is in its infancy, lawn care is still big business. See how economic change can have a positive affect on home and garden suppliers.
Organic-based lawn care leader, NaturaLawn of America, is experiencing a 20% growth spurt despite the onset of an economic recession in the United States.
As the United States heads toward an economic recession, the lawn care industry remains a strong market.
Traditionally, the lawn care industry has prospered from an economic downturn, as homeowners focus attention on their most important investments, their home and landscape.
One company experiencing significant growth under these conditions is Natural Lawn of America, the leading organic-based lawn care provider in the nation.
Natural Lawn of America's president, Phil Catron, credits this success to their franchise system. "Recessions typically tend to eliminate jobs and generally speaking, companies downscale their workforce. Franchising creates an avenue for entrepreneurialism," said Catron, whose company is experiencing a 20% growth spurt.
Another aspect driving the success of Natural Lawn of America is their proprietary organic-based product line. At a time when consumers are becoming increasingly aware of environmental hazards, Natural Lawn of America's products offer a safer alternative to synthetic products used by others in the lawn care business.
"As stewards of the environment, we have a responsibility and accountability to ourselves and future generations," said Catron.
Headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, Natural Lawn of America is a national franchise currently with 65 locations servicing environmentally concerned customers in 23 states. For more information, please contact Natural Lawn of America at (301) 694-5440 or visit us on the web at www.nl-amer.com.
