$7.4M/Year Tree Service Franchise


I just spent Friday getting a behind-the-scenes look at Joshua Tree Experts.

What I found was incredible:

  • $7.4M/year sales at the founding location
  • 60% of business is recurring revenue
  • 21% profit margins after franchise fees
  • In-house contact center to book appointments & sell services

Let’s dive in:

Business Model

Joshua Tree isn’t just another tree company

They’ve built a powerhouse model combining four essential home services:

  • Tree Care
  • Lawn Care
  • Plant Healthcare
  • Pest Control

The combination is genius - each service drives sales for the others while sharing equipment and labor.

The financial performance of their founding location is impressive (Item 19 of 2025 FDD)

Their company-owned location did $7.4M in annual revenue with $1.6M in profit after expenses and franchise fees.

Their corporate location services 5 territories in South Eastern PA

In 2024 80% of their customers were repeat from the previous year

They also breakdown revenue by service line, sales per visit, sales per employee and more

60% of their business is recurring revenue services — lawn care, pest control & plant health care

The remaining 40% is general tree care, which is on demand.

That means predictable cash flow without constantly chasing new customers or waiting for storms to come through.

Operational Advantages

Joshua Tree built an in-house contact center that franchisees can utilize if they want

They qualify leads, book appointments and even close lawn care & pest control sales over the phone in one call.

This is a huge benefit for first-year franchisees since they’re going to be in the field almost every day.

The initial investment range is $474K to $606K for a single territory of 250,000 people

This includes approximately $325k in vehicles and equipment that hold their value.

Joshua Tree has multiple lender relationships that help make financing easy.

The tree care industry is highly fragmented with thousands of mom-and-pop operations.

Joshua Tree has created a professional, systematic approach that stands out in this crowded space.

It was a beautiful day in June of 1993 Kindergarten had just finished, and I have big plans for the summer: riding my bike, street hockey, swimming, and playing manhunt at my friend’s house, who lives across the street. I crossed this street hundreds of times. My parents taught me how to cross the street safely. Stop. Look to the left, look to the right, look to the left again, and quickly cross. On this beautiful day, I followed the rules. I stop, look to the left, and see the mail truck...

This staffing board completely changed my business. I used to dread staffing decisions. Promotions? Pure guesswork. Problem employees? I’d procrastinate on those tough conversations for months.

At 9am on Monday my wife & kids decided to go to the zoo. It was going to be a beautiful day – 60 and sunny. I made a split-second decision to join them. I rescheduled two calls to clear my calendar. No explaining myself to anyone. This is what real wealth looks like. It’s not about the numbers in your bank account. It’s about having the freedom to say “yes” to the moments that matter most without asking anyone for permission. Most people become entrepreneurs for this same reason. They want...
