2024 Median Revenue
$295,623
Augusta Lawn Care Services' 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the Calendar year ending December 31, 2024. Basis: Franchisees that operated for the entire calendar year and operated full-time, and franchisees that operated their Augusta Lawn Care business as a part-time business.

What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- Table 1 consists of locations open from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, with no interruption in service and no transfer of ownership. This includes locations that converted an existing lawn care business into an Augusta Lawn care franchise.
- Table 2 consists of locations opened between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024, with no transfer of ownership, and were not converted from existing lawn care businesses.
