Green Industry Pro Buys Spring-Green Lawn Care Franchise
COVID Slow Down Prompts Local Business Owner to Add Name Brand to Existing Business

(CELINA, Texas)-Brian Lindorm is no stranger to the green industry, having operated his own lawn maintenance business “Lindy’s Lawn” for 15 years, Lindorm sought to add a predictable and profitable recurring revenue stream that he could add to his existing business. Interestingly he had contacted Spring-Green Lawn Care in 2018 with the possibility to expand his service offering adding fertilization and weed control services to residential customers. There was a neighboring franchise at that time but Lindorm got busy and in 2020 reconnected and the discussion changed toward purchasing the neighboring franchise. Lindorm didn’t waiver on his investigation during COVID and was pleasantly surprised to see the revenues and profitability grow for the existing franchise. He completed the transaction and now operates two territories servicing serves customers in McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Celina, Little Elm, Aubrey, Pilot Point, Collinsville, and Gordonville.
Lindorm is now like many other lawn maintenance and landscape companies who have added a Spring-Green Lawn Care franchise to work in conjunction with their existing business. Brian will continue to operate Lindy’s Lawns offering residential mowing and landscape services while his Spring-Green franchise focuses on lawn fertilization weed control and pest control services including mosquito.
“One of the biggest reasons I bought this franchise is so hopefully I don’t ever have to fully retire,” Lindorm said. “At 50 I won’t be retiring anytime soon, but I don’t see doing heavy landscape work much past 60 or 65. I’m looking to transition to only Spring-Green Lawn Care where the work is more predictable, still physical and outdoors, but not as taxing as landscape work and ultimately I am building an asset that I can sell when I am ready to retire.”

“I enjoy working outside and creating beautiful yards for my customers to enjoy. My favorite thing is to start with a yard that just looks terrible and turn it around,” Lindorm said. “I have been doing this with my own company and I am excited about adding Spring-Green to do the same by keeping yards looking great and turning around any new yards that need our help.”
