nicenstripy Franchise

Transform Your Life With a Gardening Franchise

nicenstripy started as a grass cutting business in 1996 and quickly grew as customers asked for more. In 2000 the first three franchisees joined, and nicenstripy became one of the longest-running gardening franchises in the UK. Today the brand offers a proven way to run your own outdoor business, working twelve months of the year.

Services You Can Offer

nicenstripy franchisees look after everything outside the back door, for both domestic and commercial customers:

• Regular grass cutting and strimming
• Hedge cutting and shaping
• Garden tidies and clearances
• Lawn care, including feeds, weed treatment, scarifying and new turf
• Leaf clearance
• Full grounds maintenance
• Pressure washing of patios and driveways
• Hard and soft landscaping
• Gutter cleaning and tree work

You can shape your business around your own experience and lifestyle, and add services as you grow.

Customers Who Stay

nicenstripy's customer research shows 99.7% of customers would recommend the service to friends, and 98.6% rate the quality of work as very good or excellent. Regular garden maintenance builds a loyal, repeat customer base, and a pilot operation run by the board in 2021 reached breakeven within its first month.
