Augusta Lawn Care Franchise Analysis

Augusta Lawn Care requires a total initial investment of $13K to $83K (midpoint approximately $48K),

Augusta Lawn Care does not publicly disclose Item 19 financial performance data in their FDD. This is a significant transparency gap — franchisees must rely on validation calls and personal research rather than audited financial representations. Prospective buyers should demand current unit-level financials from existing operators during due diligence.

Augusta Lawn Care operates approximately 139 franchised units. The SBA 7(a) loan default rate of 0.0% is well below the industry average of approximately 4.9%, indicating strong franchisee financial outcomes.

Prospective franchisees should verify all figures against the most recent FDD, conduct validation calls with multiple existing franchisees, and consult with a franchise attorney before signing any agreement.
