Be your own boss. Work close to home, set your own income and schedule, and build the business of your dreams — backed by one of the world's largest home services franchise networks. No experience required.
Since our first franchise opened in 1997, Jim's Mowing has grown into a network of more than 75 franchisees, each running an independently owned lawn and garden care business in their own community.
