Lawn Doctor

David Morrison, or Coach Morrison, as he is known in his home-town of Edmond, Oklahoma, taught at a high school in Edmond&nbsp;for 21 years before he became a <a href="http://lawndoctorfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=former-school-teacher-david-morrison-finds-new-career-with-lawn-doctor-2705379" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Lawn Doctor</a> owner. With a degree in social studies education and teaching certifications in more than a dozen subjects, Coach Morrison had long thought of himself as a career teacher, and he&rsquo;d never considered going into business for himself. That was before he discovered the lawn-care franchise.

Coach&nbsp;Morrison first started thinking about leaving teaching roughly around the time it became commonplace for students to use their cell phones during class. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m old school,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;The social media, the lack of attention, it was driving me crazy.&rdquo;

As Coach Morrison started to consider other career options outside of the classroom, sales began to seem like a natural fit. One aspect of teaching that Coach Morrison had always liked was speaking with people, and he suspected his ability to relate to people would translate to success in the sales world.

&ldquo;I taught sociology, geography, history, all sorts of different things, and I coached football and golf. I can communicate with folks on any level about all kinds of subjects,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said.

Coach Morrison began looking around for sales jobs. After posting his resume online, Coach Morrison got a call from a franchise broker who thought he might be qualified to run a <a href="https://lawndoctor.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=former-school-teacher-david-morrison-finds-new-career-with-lawn-doctor-2705379" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Lawn Doctor</a> operation.

&ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t paying much attention at first,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said. &ldquo;I thought it was just another recruiter trying to get me to sell insurance. But then he said a couple things that grabbed my attention. He said &lsquo;lawn care&rsquo; and he said &lsquo;existing book of 94,000.&rsquo;&rdquo;

Coach Morrison said he&rsquo;d never thought about going into the lawn-care business, but he enjoyed fertilizing his own lawn, and the idea that he could make a profession out of that hobby intrigued him. As for the existing book of business, Coach Morrison knew enough about sales to know that kind of client base is an enormous advantage for any business.

Coach Morrison began researching Lawn Doctor, and the first thing that stuck out to him was the brand&rsquo;s proprietary equipment.

&ldquo;The equipment I saw, was impressive,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said. &ldquo;They have tools that no one else has. Now that I&rsquo;ve been with the brand for a while, I can say that equipment is really what makes us what we are, but even back then it was clear they had something special.&rdquo;

Still, Coach Morrison was apprehensive about owning his own business. It wasn&rsquo;t what he&rsquo;d set out for when he started looking for a new career, and he had little experience in the business world, but he was intrigued by the model and the freedom it promised. Coach Morrison brought the idea to his wife, who convinced him to go for it.

&ldquo;My wife was supportive about the idea, so I reached out to Lawn Doctor and got the process started,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said. &ldquo;My plan was to start slow. I&rsquo;d continue teaching and build the business as I went.&rdquo;

Coach Morrison purchased the Lawn Doctor of Edmond territory from a retiring owner, and he hired the previous owner&rsquo;s technician to service lawns while he was at school. Coach Morrison&rsquo;s cautious strategy was quickly revised, however, as he was getting more than enough to service calls to take on the business full-time in his first months open.

&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t know what to expect in terms of picking up new customers,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d never run a business before. I didn&rsquo;t know if I was going to have to stand outside of a busy intersection with a sign begging for customers, but I was getting so many calls for service, and I just didn&rsquo;t have the time.&rdquo;

So, still fresh on his feet at Lawn Doctor, Coach Morrison left his teaching job and took on the lawn-care business full-time. Excited to flex his muscles as a salesperson, Morrison dedicated himself to customer acquisition until he hit a snag. Morrison&rsquo;s sole technician was going through a divorce and had to quit. For the next three months, Morrison would have to do all of the field work and all of the sales and marketing himself.

Fortunately, Coach Morrison was not entirely on his own. With the help of Lawn Doctor&rsquo;s support team and a number of other franchisees in the area, Coach Morrison was able to continue running the business effectively.

&ldquo;The support Lawn Doctor provided was essential,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said. &ldquo;I learned early on, the trick is to never get frustrated. There is always a solution, you just have to reach out and ask. You can ask Lawn Doctor for help, or you can reach out to other franchisees. That network of support was a huge benefit in my first year, and it&rsquo;s still something I rely on now that my business has grown.&rdquo;

Those first few months without a technician had another benefit. Coach Morrison, who had never serviced lawns as a professional before, was quickly required to learn the ins and outs of the technical side of the business.

&ldquo;Lawn Doctor had trained me in everything I needed to get started, but it&rsquo;s a whole other thing to actually get out there and start doing applications,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said. &ldquo;It was really important for me to start doing it myself in those first few months. Now that I have technicians, I know exactly what they are doing, and exactly what they can handle because I&rsquo;ve done it all myself. I&rsquo;ve also been able to make adjustments to how I run the business to make my technicians more effective.&rdquo;

While Coach Morrison was busy in the field during his first months, he relied on some inexpensive marketing solutions, which he knew had the potential to be less effective than more robust&mdash;and more expensive&mdash;marketing campaigns, but the results were more than encouraging.

&ldquo;I started with online coupons, and I knew the downside with coupons is that you don&rsquo;t know if customers are going to come back without the coupon,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said. &ldquo;So it was risky, but I converted almost every single one into a full-time customer, so it really paid off. It just shows that people are enthusiastic about the service, you just have to let them know you are there.&rdquo;

By the start of his second season as a Lawn Doctor owner, Coach Morrison had hired a full-time technician and was able to focus on growing the business.

&ldquo;I could have hired a technician earlier, but I was determined to find someone who was capable, reliable and responsible,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said. &ldquo;Once I found the right guy, I was able to put more energy into the business side.&rdquo;

With the help of a full-time technician in the field, Coach Morrison set to work on fine-tuning two key aspects of the business: customer retention and cash flow.

&ldquo;Sales was the name of the game in year two,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said. &ldquo;I knew that retention and a steady cash flow were two essential areas that I had to lock down to ensure the growth of the business. Fortunately, those two things go hand in hand.&rdquo;

In order to secure long-term commitments from clients and consistent payments throughout the year, Coach Morrison instituted incentives for clients to pre-pay for services and sign up for automatic payments. That initiative gave Coach Morrison a more accurate projection of his business&rsquo;s finances, and he was able to start growing accordingly.

Now, as Coach Morrison approaches his fourth season, he has a second territory in North Oklahoma City, a second truck, three technicians&nbsp;and he&rsquo;s preparing to hire an office assistant.

&ldquo;As the team grows, I&rsquo;m able to focus more and more on the business,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said. &ldquo;I work almost exclusively in the office these days. If a tech is sick, I can help out in the field, but my main focus is on sales, and I really feel like we&rsquo;re thriving.&rdquo;

When Coach Morrison first purchased his Lawn Doctor territory, he said he had about 180 customers. Now, he services roughly 1000. Coach Morrison said by the end of his next season, he hopes to reach 1,800.

That kind of growth is not unusual for a new Lawn Doctor owner, even one with as little previous experience in the industry as Coach Morrison. Eric Martin, Lawn Doctor&rsquo;s vice president of franchise development, said the franchise is more interested in finding owners who are passionate about the work than those with the best business or lawn-care experience.

&ldquo;Owners like David are exactly the types of folks we love coming into the business,&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;David is motivated, he&rsquo;s great with people and he understands the value of what we&rsquo;re doing. The other stuff can be taught. Our equipment makes the applications easy for just about anyone, and it doesn&rsquo;t take a special degree to apply our business model. It really comes down to, are you willing work hard to apply the model and build something with us, and David clearly is.&rdquo;

Though Coach Morrison wasn&rsquo;t looking to own a business when he first discovered Lawn Doctor, now that he does own one, he&rsquo;s determined to take it as far as he can.

&ldquo;You can quickly find a fairly comfortable lifestyle with Lawn Doctor and just keep your business humming along, but that&rsquo;s not why I&rsquo;m doing this,&rdquo; Coach Morrison said. &ldquo;I want to put my stamp on this thing. I want to work hard and be rewarded for my work in the long-term. I can see that the more work you put into this business, the more you are rewarded. That&rsquo;s been the case even just in my first four years, and I&rsquo;m excited to keep growing and finding a greater reward.&rdquo;

After 11 years of ownership in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and more than 20 years with the brand, Todd and Janis Rucker have exited their&nbsp;<a href="http://lawndoctorfranchise.com">Lawn Doctor</a> franchise. In January, the pair officially closed a seven-figure deal as the business was acquired by their former general manager,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/russell-dunning-218b1962/">Russ Dunning</a>, and his wife, Kalin, who will lead the next era of growth in the community.“When I hired Russ about six and a half years ago, I hired him with the intention of replacing me,” Todd said. “I feel like the transition with Russ was great because he’s been involved in a lot of the day-to-day decisions, and again, ultimately, we both knew that he and Kalin were going to acquire it.”While the Ruckers have spent the last few years actively preparing for a healthy exit from the Hot Springs territory, their journey with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lawndoctor/info">Lawn Doctor</a> goes back much further.<h2>A Decades-Long History With the Brand</h2>The Ruckers’ first introduction to Lawn Doctor was over 20 years ago when they purchased a territory in another part of Arkansas, which they built from the ground up.“We had that up and running for about five or six years before we moved to Hot Springs,” Todd said. “After about a year there, I went to work for the local Hot Springs franchise and worked there for about five years. I was just thinking, ‘Let me get my kids through school, and we’ll see what happens.’ Then we ended up having an opportunity to buy it. We purchased that in 2015 and had it until early this year. It’s kind of a roundabout way of getting here, but had we not had the experience of learning and making a few mistakes [with our first territory], I don’t think this one would have gone quite as well.”When Todd learned of the opportunity to acquire the Hot Springs territory, he was confident that, using his prior experience as an owner and time spent as a team member in Hot Springs, he would be able to not just successfully acquire but continue to grow the business.&nbsp;<h2>A Thoughtful Ownership Journey Rooted in Stewardship</h2>A few years into leading the Hot Springs territory, Todd began looking to hire his eventual replacement, knowing the business would eventually change hands.“Our philosophy is that we don’t really own anything in this world anyway. We’re just a steward over it for a period of time,” he said. “So, when we took this business over, even though our names were on everything and we were the ‘owners’ of it, I knew we were a steward of it for a period of time. We did not know how long that was going to be. It’s a good mentality to realize that you’re not going to own anything forever. That’s freeing, in my opinion.”Though he never dodged the responsibility or accountability associated with business ownership, Todd knew that something would change down the line.“You manage it well and take care of it, but also think, down the line, what happens if I had a stroke? I want someone in there so that the business would continue on,” he said. “To make sure Janis would be alright until she could sell it, but also for everybody else that’s involved. There were 19 other families that were dependent on me being a responsible business owner. So I felt an obligation to have, at a minimum, somebody in there who would keep the day-to-day going. If we can find someone that could do the day-to-day but also transition to ownership one day — that’s even better.”When Russ joined the team, Todd took this approach. He knew that Russ would eventually take over, and he worked diligently to ensure Russ had the experience and expertise necessary to facilitate a seamless transition whenever that time came.<h2>The Road to the Exit</h2>While Todd had been working with Russ consistently to prepare him for the eventual transition, he embraced a more structured approach in early 2025.“I knew the energy had gone out of me,” he said. “I could have continued on for a couple more years with Russ running things day-to-day, but I didn’t think that was healthy for the business. I knew it was time to transition; I thought it was the fairest thing to do for everybody involved. I didn’t want the business to decline because my energy had waned.”After making the decision, though, Todd stayed engaged with Russ. He let Russ know in early 2025 that it would be their last year together, and they took on the next 12 months with intention.“That was leading into our spring season,” Todd said. “At that point, we both had to get over the shock. So we just went back to work, and throughout the year, I tried to show him the things that we did each time of the year — sales, advertising and things of that nature. He was already deeply involved, but we got him a little more involved with things like ‘Here’s who I talk to about the advertising,’ or ‘Here’s what’s going on in my mind.’”Ensuring Russ had the experience necessary and taking a step back to truly let him lead, the Ruckers set the stage for a smooth transition. While the existing team didn’t know exactly what was going on behind the scenes, Todd says they were getting accustomed to Russ being the leader and Todd and Janis popping in on occasion rather than being there all the time.Earlier this year, Todd and Janis officially exited the business, and Russ and Kalin took it over.Now in their early 60s, the Ruckers are taking time to travel, focus on their bucket list and take a bit of a breather.“Janis is happy to be a full-time grandmother. I intend to work at least part-time in the future, but I’m not sure what that will look like,” Todd said. “The immediate future is to travel and then see… I’m using this as my gap year.”As for the future of the business, the Ruckers are proud of what they’ve built and optimistic about what’s to come in Hot Springs.“Over the years, Russ has helped vet people, so they’re as much his team members as they were ours. And the fact that he was involved in the day-to-day decisions for several years was also good. It has worked out wonderfully,” Todd said. “I think Lawn Doctor of Hot Springs is in better hands now than it was when we had it. I hate to say that, but they’re very qualified. They’re great. And that’s what you want to do! You want it to get better.”To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lawndoctor">https://1851franchise.com/lawndoctor</a>.&nbsp;

franchise-resale-succession-success

For&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominick-pennella-9918a448/">Dominick Pennella</a>, the journey to becoming a franchise owner with&nbsp;<a href="http://lawndoctorfranchise.com">Lawn Doctor</a>, the 700-plus-unit national lawn care franchise, has unique ties back to his childhood and family. Growing up in Brooklyn in a traditional Italian family, Pennella was involved in the family landscaping business from a young age. He also saw just how important family was. As he approached adulthood, he wanted to explore other paths, which led him to the Navy“I was the baby of three kids. The family culture was already set; landscaping was the thing, and we were Italians who lived in Brooklyn,” Pennella said. “I just felt like there was so much more world to see. I’m appreciating all of these things now, in hindsight, but as an 18-year-old, I just wanted to get going. So I joined the military, and it was the scariest thing I ever did.”<h2>The Military to Corporate Transition</h2>For Pennella, the military was a way to fast-track personal growth, in a way, allowing him to explore what it would mean to go out on his own. It meant leaving his hometown and taking on the adventure without familial backing.He spent about four years in the Navy, working on submarines and doing things like monitoring nuclear reactors through a keyhole. In addition to meeting new people and seeing new places, his time in the Navy set Pennella up with a technical foundation that would define his corporate journey.This military background and technical proficiency opened doors for Pennella as he transitioned to civilian life. He was hired as a field service engineer for a biomedical company before even completing a college degree, but he was already looking toward the “next rung” of the ladder.“I was looking up at the next rung. I thought, ‘I can do that, and to do that, I would need an education directly in management,’” he said. “I decided to sign up for distance learning and see if I could work full-time and go to school at the same time. I did that for about five years. My master’s was in business management.”As he continued to climb the corporate ladder, Pennella returned to lessons he learned in his early landscaping years.“Whether you're showing up to someone's home to take care of a lawn or whether you're showing up to a hospital mid-surgery to take care of a blood gas instrument, the end result is still the same,” he said. “You still have to deal with people who are discontent. They don’t like the current situation, and they need to believe in you. You need to convey a plan, communicate throughout that process and close the loop at the end.”“Regardless of the perceived severity of what you’re fixing, any type of field service is similar,” he continued. “When I worked for my father as a landscaper, it was the exact same thing. A different product, but the exact same customer-facing experience. They want to know what you can do for them. ‘I’m in this situation. How can you help me? And can I contact you if I need anything?’ If you answer all those questions, they're happy. It was the same thing in medical device field service. So, I did well by literally copying the same tenets my father taught me.”Throughout his corporate career, Pennella’s approach earned him and his teams multiple awards and widespread recognition. But as he advanced, it also began to demand more from Pennella in terms of travel. When these requirements began to overshadow his family time, he knew it was time for a change.“I was successful, but my family is so important to me, and they were not more than 20% of my week in any given week in that life,” he said. “I knew it was time for a change.”Today, Pennella says that decision was fueled by the people who matter most — his wife of 14 years, Maria, who is also his partner in running the business, and their two daughters, Dora (11) and Gigi (7). He describes them as his daily inspiration and the driving force behind his decision to build something that would allow him to be present, ambitious and rooted at home all at once.“I didn’t even think of landscaping again, because that was what my dad did,” he continued. “I did electronics in the Navy, and that was my thing. But my father and I, one thing we have in common is the love of family. He couldn’t wait to get home and spend time with us when I was young, and I share that same view.”So, when he first began searching for his next opportunity, Pennella was looking for other roles in the same industry. He wanted to stick with “his thing,” just in a capacity that would require less travel and allow for more family time. After realizing that, at his level of seniority, any new role would be more of the same, he went to step two: franchises.<h2>Identifying Lawn Doctor: The Return to the Lawn Care Business</h2>“There are about a billion franchises for anything you could possibly think of, so how do you choose one?” he said. “I ended up finding some really great people — some franchise brokers. I took the Zorakle Assessment, and two days later, they called and said, ‘Hey, have you ever heard of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lawndoctor/info">Lawn Doctor</a>?’”At this point, Pennella had not mentioned Lawn Doctor to the brokers, but he remembered it from childhood. He saw the green thumb logo and vehicles in the community and, as a child, asked his father how the business model worked since he never saw them cutting anyone’s lawn. At the time, his father explained that fertilization was one of the more profitable services in the lawn care space, but the conversation stopped there.So, when Pennella was presented with the Lawn Doctor franchise opportunity decades later, it almost felt meant to be.“When I started doing some research, I realized it might be the perfect fit. It tied in with my nostalgia, my culture, my history, my skill sets — everything,” he said. “And again, it’s field service. It wasn’t a straight line, and I don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for the folks who guided me in the selection process. But when they said ‘Lawn Doctor,’ I thought, ‘Are you kidding me? I used to joke about comparing Lawn Doctor to the type of work I did in my father’s business.’ And here I am, the owner of a Lawn Doctor franchise! And I couldn’t be happier with the choice.”<h2>Building Momentum Through a Culture of Collaboration</h2>As Pennella launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lawndoctor.com/naples-fl/">Lawn Doctor of Naples-LaBelle-Marco Island</a>, he applied a sophisticated management lens to a local service model. This approach has already yielded impressive results, driving Pennella to blow his first-year projections out of the water within a couple of months. By focusing on communication and personal outreach, including knocking on clients’ doors himself, he was able to build trust and set the business up for an amazing first year.“It’s a simple, scalable model, and it sets you up to make your money back in a fairly short time frame,” he said. “It’s a great choice for a calculated risk-taker.”In addition to his own analytical lens, Pennella’s success has been driven by the support of the entire franchise system. Previously accustomed to a “dog-eat-dog” atmosphere in corporate America, Pennella was pleasantly surprised by the collaborative nature of the Lawn Doctor system. While he has worked diligently to educate himself on all facets of the business, he realized that, with the franchise system behind him, he didn’t have to absorb all of the information immediately and completely.“In the corporate world, everyone is looking for their own win. Here, a rising tide floats all ships,” he said. “I have at least five other owners and a dedicated mentor that I can call any time for any reason, and they’ll have an answer. I’m not scared to take on things I might not be an expert on yet because I have the backup to help me find those answers if needed.”&nbsp;Pennella is quick to credit those who have walked beside him during this first year. He highlights&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottspitz/">Scott Spitz</a> of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lawndoctor.com/lakeworth-fl/lawn-care-in-west-palm-beach/">West Palm Beach</a>, who has served as a dedicated mentor, providing the institutional knowledge that only a veteran owner can offer. He also expresses deep gratitude for the ongoing support from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rafael-valle-a92584103/">Ralph Valle</a> in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lawndoctor.com/jacksonville-fl/lawn-care-in-jacksonville/">Jacksonville</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lawndoctor.com/fortmyers-fl/home/">Duffy family in Fort Myers</a>, whose insights helped him navigate the nuances of the Florida market, illustrating just how valuable it is to be a part of the Lawn Doctor system, which functions as a true team.As he prepares for continued growth, Pennella recognizes that there will be additional learning and growth opportunities as a Lawn Doctor owner, but he’s ready for them, and he encourages others in a similar position to consider taking the leap, as well.“If you are willing to learn agronomy and work closely with the franchisor, this can change your life,” he said. “It gave me the one thing I couldn’t find in the corporate world: the ability to put my family first without sacrificing my ambition. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made.”To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lawndoctor">https://1851franchise.com/lawndoctor.</a>&nbsp;

Each year, Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 ranking is published, highlighting the strongest franchise brands in the industry. The list is prepared through the evaluation of over 150 data points spanning categories like growth, support and financial strength. In other words, size or rapid growth alone won’t guarantee a brand a spot in the ranking.&nbsp;For many franchise brands, being included in the ranking is an important achievement. According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/buying-a-franchise/for-47-years-this-brand-has-kept-up-with-mcdonalds-and-dunkin-have-you-heard-of-it">recent Entrepreneur article</a>, only three brands have enjoyed the honor every year since the ranking started 47 years ago. McDonald’s and Dunkin’, two industry giants, make sense. The third is&nbsp;<a href="https://lawndoctorfranchise.com/">Lawn Doctor</a>, a smaller brand but clearly just as strong.Part of the larger&nbsp;<a href="http://happinestbrands.com">Happinest Brands</a> portfolio,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lawndoctor/info">Lawn Doctor</a> is a 665-unit lawn care brand. While the brand has evolved over the years, CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottfrith">Scott Frith</a> told Entrepreneur that the brand’s commitment to taking care of its franchisees has also been a key contributor to its success.“My father once said, ‘Treat a franchisee as if they can leave you tomorrow and you’ll be okay.’ In other words, make sure you understand their value in building this business alongside you. And that’s been a guiding principle,” Frith said. “So a real differentiator for us is how we’ve created the structures to help every franchisee unlock [success]. We’ve really ramped up training. For new franchisees, we have pre-training with digital content, then class for a week, practical training in the field — and then it’s ongoing with new initiatives. You also have a dedicated person with you for two years.”As Frith looks toward the future, he’s transparent about what has and hasn’t worked for Lawn Doctor, and he recognizes how the brand’s strength and history benefit owners across the Lawn Doctor system and larger Happinest Brands network.“Lawn Doctor, almost 60 years old now, is bringing a lot of operational experience — nearly 4,000 years between our franchisees and our team — across the platform,” he said. “So certainly that brings value to emerging brands that are small and learning.”Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/buying-a-franchise/for-47-years-this-brand-has-kept-up-with-mcdonalds-and-dunkin-have-you-heard-of-it">here</a>.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lawndoctor">https://1851franchise.com/lawndoctor</a>.&nbsp;
