What is Lawn Care Launch?
Lawn Care Launch offers lawn care business owners a clear path forward in their business.
How do we help you determine your clear path forward? Through our three core services: mentorship, financial management, and marketing. Each of these areas in business should work together in unison. Lawn Care Launch makes that happen.
Why do lawn care business owners need Lawn Care Launch?
It’s one thing to mow lawns, drive routes, and generate revenue. It’s another thing to SCALE a successful lawn care business with a SOLID foundation to ensure long-term success. That’s why Lawn Care Launch helps lawn care business owners. We know that you’re already killing it in the industry, so imagine how you could grow with even more confidence, empowerment, and focus.
Do I sign a contract when I join Lawn Care Launch?
Nope! Lawn Care Launch desires to have mutually beneficial partnerships. If at any time you do not feel as if our service is benefiting your business, all we ask for is a 7-day written notice before your next recurring monthly payment. Please email [email protected].
How much does Lawn Care Launch cost?
Lawn Care Launch is priced based on the annual gross revenue of our lawn care business clients. We created a short video for you detailing how the pricing works. Watch that video and get more information about pricing on our pricing page.
Is Lawn Care Launch for people starting or growing their business?
Both! Any business owner who falls within the $0k – $300k revenue range is perfect for using Lawn Care Launch. Some business owners that we work with are just getting started, and others have sustained a certain revenue for years but are looking to grow now.
What happens once I get access to Lawn Care Launch?

Lawn Care Launch Financial Management
Bookkeeping
Do I get the SAME bookkeeper month to month?
Yes. Your bookkeeper is committed to you! We want you to build a relationship with your bookkeeper. Outside of any unforeseen circumstances, you’ll have one bookkeeper month to month.
Will my numbers be available weekly?
No. Our bookkeeping is a monthly service. We are committed to accruing consistent historical data that you can use yearly to note trends and to recognize patterns that make YOUR decision making process easier. We are not looking to provide custom reports or on-demand reports within our base package. However, you may request any additional services through your bookkeeper at their pricing.
Can I request a specific bookkeeper?
Yes. However, the final decision lies in their hands. We work closely with our bookkeepers to ensure that they remain satisfied with the amount of clients they obtain.
Do you provide job-costing?
No. Job costing is not a part of your core financial management services. Your bookkeeper may be more than happy to provide that for you with her own add on service menu with an additional charge.
Does my CRM have to be synced with Quickbooks?
No, your lawn care business CRM sync with QuickBooks does not NEED to be synced before working with us.
Will you handle a Quickbooks and CRM sync?
Yes, yes we do. And it won’t show duplicate income! If you have a sync, additional services are required. If you have additional questions, please email [email protected].
Clean-Ups
What is a Clean-Up?
In order to secure a solid foundation, we perform a clean-up of your books from January 1 through the time of the year that you join. This allows us to paint a full picture of your business and compare numbers in future years.
Does the clean-up involve a look at my previous numbers?
No. We will insert ourselves as of January 1st in the current year. Before joining we ask that you bring your tax filings up-to-date. This will allow us to complete a cleanup for January 1 of the current year and then move forward with you!
Monthly Meetings
How long are my monthly meetings?
Monthly meetings are 45 min for 10 months of the year. We do not hold monthly meetings in December or January. Your bookkeeping is still getting done but our bookkeepers are not in front of the camera.
How do we meet monthly?
This is a virtual face-to-face meeting. Expect a meeting link from your bookkeeper. No scrambling, just check your email for their link.
How do I schedule my monthly meeting?
Every month you will receive a link requesting you to schedule your meeting. This meeting is your accountability to us and our accountability to you monthly. Feel free to work with your bookkeeper to schedule out several months’ appointments in advance! (i.e. the third Tuesday of every month).
Am I required to attend the monthly meetings?
No. Although, this meeting is your accountability to us and our accountability to you monthly. Therefore, we ask that you do make it a priority to meet monthly with your bookkeeper. You will find the meetings very helpful. Think of it as dedicated time to working ON your business instead of IN your business.
Tax Resources
Do you file taxes?
No. Lawn Care Launch does not file taxes for you. We work with an amazing Certified Financial Planner who would love to help you file year-end taxes! Find more information about her services on her website, Reliable Tax & Business Services.
Will you work closely with MY tax preparer?
We will respond to any email questions; however, we do not work FOR your tax preparer. They should use their own recordkeeping to supply evidence of their work and not rely solely on our Quickbooks.
What can I expect from you during tax season?
Once we have agreed on a date, you will receive your final year end reports from us. You can promptly send these to your tax preparer.
Do you provide specific tax help?
Lawn Care Launch would like to keep you abreast of new information in the tax world as well as answer general questions; don’t miss our seminars!

Lawn Care Launch Marketing Product
Websites
How long does it take to build my website?
You will have your lawn care business’s brand new website built for you and live within 30-days after the initial Welcome Session.
What if I already have a website?
Our website design service is optional. You can join Lawn Care Launch without purchasing a new site, and it will be available for you to add-on at any point after joining.
Can I see some examples of Lawn Care Launch websites?
Does your website service include SEO?
Our website designers make it a priority to build SEO-friendly websites, meaning they follow all the rules that Google has for a strong website. With that in mind, our marketing services do NOT include monthly in-depth SEO services. Although, our review management services do help with Local SEO by bringing your Google Business Profile listing higher in search results as the number of reviews you have grows.
Will I get to approve and request changes to the website design?
Yes! After the website is ready for you to see, we will schedule a website revisions meeting with you. During that meeting, you can let us know anything that you would like to adjust.
Will I be able to make edits to the website myself?
Yes, you will have the ability to make minor edits to the website yourself. Although, you should keep in mind that we don’t mind doing those minor edits for you at all!
Can I request minor changes to the website after it is built?
Yes! Our website designers are ready to make minor updates and changes to your website each month.
Review Management
How will you help drive more reviews for my business?
To help keep your Google Business Profile maintain 5-star reviews, our team implements a system that prevents 4-stars and below from reaching your Google Business Profile. Instead, those reviews come in as private feedback for your business to review and manage internally.
Does your review management help my Local SEO?
Yes! Maintaining a high rating on your Google Business Profile will help your business pop up in local search results for lawn care companies.
Lead Automations
Do I need a CRM in order to have customer communication set-up capabilities?
You do not need to have a CRM for our team to set-up lead automations. We have our own software that can be used for lead automations before you begin using your own CRM.
What services will you communicate with my customers about?
Our main goal is to help you follow-up with leads after you have sent them an estimate. Our lead automations will remind potential customers about their pending estimates to increase your close rate.
Design Library
Will your team customize a design from the design library for me?
Yes! If you see a design within the library that you would like to use for your own business, you’ll be able to ask our design team to make those changes for you. There is a three-business-day turn-around time on the designs.
Do you have recommendations for where to get my designs printed?
Since we have Lawn Care Launch members across the United States, we cannot recommend any local spots at this time. If you are looking for a simple national printing option, we recommend VistaPrint.
If you have any questions that did not appear on this list, please send your question to [email protected].
