Item 7 of the 2025 FDD details a substantial entry barrier: initial investment ranges from $474,325 to $606,495, including a $59,500 franchise fee. Ongoing fees include a tiered royalty starting at 6% of gross sales (dropping to 3.5% at higher volumes), 1% brand fund, plus fixed monthly charges like $500 for technology, $200-$250 for accounting software, and $35 GPS per vehicle—elevating total ongoing costs above typical business services norms. Item 19 shines brightly with average gross revenue of $7,443,469 per unit and estimated profits pegged at $1,608,140, figures that suggest strong cash flow potential for mature operations in residential and commercial markets.

System metrics underscore momentum: locations surged 250% from 2 in 2023 to 7 in 2024, now at 9 total, with 4 new units projected. Only 1 termination mars the record, and 4 SBA loans averaging $427,125 indicate accessible financing without alarming default signals. For investors eyeing services franchises, the high revenue disclosure is a green flag, but the elevated startup capital and add-on fees demand scrutiny against localized demand for arboriculture and pest control—ideal for those with operational experience in landscaping but cautious of scaling a young network.
