In this time and age, more and more people are getting into the entrepreneurial spirit and looking for opportunities to engage in business whether owned or shared with like-minded people within their network. Lawn mowing may not be the top option in your mind right now. You might think the market is overly saturated but the following information might just convince you otherwise. Let’s get into it:

New Zealand has 26.8 million hectares land area

“New Zealand encompasses a total land area of approx 26.8 million hectares, or 268,000 square kilometres. That includes the North Island, South Island and around 600 smaller islands that make up our part of the world,” according to a blog by Andrew Duncan. While a huge chunk is reserved for preserving national parks, forestry, dairy, beef and sheep farming, about 20% are used for everything else.

There is also a huge market for everything lawn and garden. As per Statista, “In New Zealand, the revenue in the Lawn & Garden market reaches a significant amount of US$3.07bn in the year 2024. It is also projected that this market segment will experience an annual growth rate of 2.05% (CAGR 2024-2028).”

Putting things in perspective, you can imagine the opportunity that still lies in lawn mowing and garden work for both commercial and residential accounts. Needless to say, there is always still room for one more lawn mowing franchisee and then another.

Flexibility is a Key Factor

Never been before has this era seen more of a spike in demand when it comes to jobs that offer flexibility whether that’s in finding remote or hybrid work setups, four-day work week and other unconventional solutions. This only indicates that many people are tired of the same old 9-5 jobs that coop people in an office cubicle. A lawn mowing franchise affords you the opportunity to handle your own affairs whenever and wherever so long as you deliver on your services. Is flexibility an important aspect of what you want next in life? Then you might just be in the right direction with a lawn mowing franchise.

Low-risk Investment

Depending on the franchise brand you acquire or how and where you wish to set up, you actually have the power to minimise your risk going into a lawn mowing business. Often, franchises have built a reputable name over their many years of providing lawn care and garden services to Kiwi households over the years. And if not, that can be a telling sign you should be looking for a tried, tested, and trusted lawn care brand elsewhere.

Additionally, buying a franchise can at times come with the relevant tools and equipment, still leaving you with the practical gear you can utilize for personal use should you wish to downscale or retire in the future. All in all, you have the ability to get your money’s worth and increase that given your business acumen and the assistance of your franchise company.
