Why Green Industry Professionals Are a Great Fit for Joshua Tree Experts

Joshua Tree Experts, the emerging Pennsylvania-based service brand known for its reliable tree care maintenance, plant health care, lawn care and pest control, has built a team of industry professionals that work to drive the growth of the brand and ensure positive customer experiences. As the franchise looks to expand in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Massachusetts, Texas and more, it has identified a prime opportunity to work with green industry professionals.

“We’re looking to partner with people who have worked in lawn care, plant health and other similar industries,” explained Joshua Malik, CEO of Joshua Tree Experts. “With our business concept, these professionals can leverage their previous experience in the industry to take their career to the next level through business ownership.”

This expertise will be incredibly useful during the startup period of each franchisee’s business. Malik explained that, while the long-term goal is for the franchise owner to work on their business, strategizing for growth, the first three to six months of ownership will be spent working very closely in the business and with employees. In addition to the support and education provided by Joshua Tree Experts, local owners’ expertise can be leveraged to build and hone an incredibly knowledgeable, capable team during this startup period.

Prospective owners’ willingness to propel themselves forward in their own careers prior to pursuing Joshua Tree Experts ownership is often a testament to the individual’s interest in and passion for the industry.

There are additional benefits that accompany experience in the field, often in the form of various licensing and certifications. A prospective owner who is an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist, Associate Certified Entomologist, Tree Risk Assessment Qualified, Electrical Hazard Awareness Certified or has obtained a State Certified Applicator’s License brings an additional layer of expertise to ownership.

Generally, individuals who have been in the field for between two and six years are likely to have these supplemental certifications, licenses and skills.

“While we don’t screen prospective candidates for their industry experience and qualifications specifically, it certainly helps,” Malik said. “However, our ultimate goal is to bring owners to the team who align closely with our core values: Work Hard / Play Hard, Reliable, Team Player, Improve and Adapt, and Find A Way.”

The startup costs for a Joshua Tree Experts franchise range from $183,578 to $304,312. For more information on franchising with Joshua Tree Experts, visit https://www.joshuatreeexperts.com/franchise.
