About Nicenstripy

Choosing the right partner is essential. Going into business for yourself is a big step. Having a partner with experience and expertise can make all the difference. A nicenstripy franchise is a well developed formula that has made us the UK's leading residential lawn care services and gardening franchise. Our franchise operation has been developed and perfected over 10 years and serves 1000s of nicensatisfied customers! At the heart of the nicenstripy Franchise Programme is our pilot operation.
 
Established in 1996, 'nicenstripy' had a vision to change the gardening industry. The age old complaint that gardeners were unreliable became the spur to design a business that met the demand for a reliable, professional service that still had the friendly, trustworthy face of the local gardener.

Secondly, nicenstripy wanted to be consistent in offering a high quality of workmanship and customer care. To that end, we invested in the best equipment on the market and trained our managers and staff to work to nicenstripy ‘standards’. We work quickly and efficiently to minimize inconvenience to our customers - a combination that sets us apart from our competitors.
