As NaturaLawn of America prepares to start training the newest group of franchise owners Sept. 26, the company is also gearing up for another big event: celebrating 30 years of “environmentally responsible lawn care,” Benzinga reports.

Since 1987, NaturaLawn of America has strived to take an environmentally friendly approach to lawn care by using a customized formula, which uses natural and organic-based products, and by using a soil test, which determines the amount of essential nutrients in a clients yard, to formulate the lawn care solution.

“We wouldn’t be where we are today without the tireless efforts of our home-office staff, our hard-working franchisees and, most importantly, all of our customers who continue to choose a safer alternative to traditional lawn care, year after year,” said Phil Catron, president and founder of NaturaLawn.

The Maryland-based company—which has 80 franchise licenses in 24 states, according to Benzinga—ranked No. 6 on our list of “Franchise Best Buys 2016.”
