5-Star Opportunity

SmartGrass is a rewarding business both personally and financially – as reviews prove

Delighted customers build businesses. If you provide a great product or service, your customers will tell their friends – and, these days, they’ll also tell the world through online reviews.

So if you’re looking to buy a franchise, you want to know that its reputation will bring you customers and help you grow. There’s nothing as referenceable as independent, positive feedback – and that’s something the team at SmartGrass get all the time.

‘Our purpose is to create amazing green spaces for people to enjoy and use while taking care of our environment,’ says SmartGrass general manager Kerry Forde. ‘We specialise in the supply and installation of artificial grass. Our Earth Series product is not only more realistic than competing products – it also drains five times faster, is three times stronger, lasts longer and is genuinely end-of-life recyclable.

‘To get good results and a long-lasting surface worthy of the investment, it’s a job best performed by a properly-trained professional. The role of our franchisees is to develop sales and manage a team of employees or contractors who carry out the installations to our high standards,’ explains Kerry, who brings many years of franchise experience to his new role at SmartGrass.

Sales and management franchise

‘Because we do the job professionally, we get excellent feedback from our clients,’ says Kerry. ‘They come in all forms – small, large, residential, corporate, sporting, schools and government bodies. SmartGrass can transform unusable spaces where grass will not grow or survive, or turn problem areas into a real asset all year round.

‘Kids or pets can rush out and play, then rush back in again with no more mess than a bit of water. Sports grounds can be turned into all-weather surfaces, green areas can stay green whatever the climate. It’s a service that delivers strong, positive emotional outcomes, as is clear when you read some of our Google reviews from this month alone.’

Review of reviews

Jared (Wellington August 2022) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ‘Incredible! An end result that we’re incredibly pleased with. The team at SmartGrass were great to deal with – kept us updated with great communications. The photos don’t do it justice. We would highly recommend! Our dog loves it! So do we.’

Amy (Lower Hutt August 2022) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ‘The team were fantastic! They came for site visit and came up with a few options to re-configure my backyard and really capitalise on the space with the aim to make it more usable. The quotes were reasonable along with the customer service being exceptional! I am so glad I reached out to SmartGrass, I have ended up with a fabulous backyard that’s so much more useable than I ever thought possible and will definitely recommend your services to others.’

Margaret (Avonhead August 2022) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ‘I made the decision to have SmartGrass installed a few weeks ago and last week the installation was complete! I am amazed at how realistic it is... the team carried out the work effortlessly and professionally. I can’t believe how good it is. Great investment and every day I look at a beautifully manicured lawn. Thank you!’

Sharleen (Henderson August 2022) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ‘Wow what a transformation our backyard is! Thank you so much for the service and friendliness received. We bought our house new off development plans and our back was not only unlevelled, the fencing was out along the bottom and the soil was not a good look at all. The team at SmartGrass not only levelled our whole back, they also boxed up the fencing area to make it nice and tidy and squared up. Thanks so much team, highly recommend!’

A great cashflow business

SmartGrass franchisees can look forward to three main revenue streams: a margin on product supplied; the installation fee; and regular maintenance, which provides an ongoing incoming stream. The franchise requires an investment of around $200,000, which includes a vehicle and all machinery needed to get started. Finance options are available through Westpac

‘Well run, the business is very profitable because there are relatively low overheads – no leased premises required, and very little capital tied up in stock,’ Kerry points out. ‘With high margin, low volume projects that often take just two to three days to complete, there’s good cashflow and constant income available.’

Nationwide opportunities

SmartGrass already has established operations in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown, with franchise opportunities now available in Auckland, Otago and many other centres.

‘We provide full training to make sure you get off to a flying start, so you don’t need previous experience in the installation of artificial grass or general landscaping,’ managing director Jack Kennedy explains. ‘However, good practical problem-solving skills are essential. Combine these with the proven SmartGrass product and systems, and you have all you need to create a very rewarding business – in every sense.

‘Here at SmartGrass, we love what we do – and it shows in our customers’ feedback. To learn more, contact me today.’
