Weeding Women Franchise vs Green Shoots

Weeding Women vs Green Shoots in Perth

Weeding Women is the local brand Perth gardeners already know: three decades of domestic and commercial garden maintenance, a 24/7 message service, and owner-operator franchisees across the metro. If you are browsing business-broker listings rather than “lawn mowing franchise” Google ads, this is probably the comparison you need.

What Weeding Women is known for

New-territory franchise fees are not published on the consumer site. Recent broker listings for established Weeding Women rounds in Perth have been advertised around $120,000 plus SAV and $175,000 plus SAV. Those prices buy an existing client book, not a vacant licence. Treat them as resale evidence, not an official franchisor price list.

Genuine Perth brand equity in garden maintenance, not only lawn mowing.
Buying a resale can include trained staff and a client list — you are not starting from zero leads.
Back-office systems and a 24/7 message service are part of the advertised franchise offer.

What to watch

Unlike national mowing brands, Weeding Women is already a Perth and Peel business. That is the same geography Green Shoots is recruiting into — Rockingham, Mandurah, the south-east and later north-metro zones — so this is a true local alternative, not an east-coast franchise transplanted west.

A $120,000–$175,000 resale is a different capital decision from a $10,000 network sign-up.
You are buying someone else’s round. Check client concentration, churn and whether key staff stay.
Franchise disclosure and restraint clauses can limit where you work if you later leave.

Questions to ask Weeding Women

Use these before you sign anything. Then compare the written answers with the Green Shoots fee page and operator agreement.

Ask for the current franchise disclosure document, not only the broker teaser.

Age the client book: how many clients, average job value, and % of revenue from the top 10 clients.

Confirm whether you are buying plant, vehicles and staff — or licence only plus SAV.

Compare weekly cash required (royalty, marketing levy, wages) with Green Shoots’ $200 + 10%.

Comparison questions

How much does a Weeding Women franchise cost in Perth?

The franchisor does not publish a standard new-territory fee on its consumer site. Public resale listings have been advertised around $120,000 to $175,000 plus stock at valuation. Ask Weeding Women and the broker for the current figure.

Is Weeding Women only for women?

The brand is Weeding Women; listings are typically described as owner-operator and sometimes as suited to a family or partnership. Confirm eligibility with the franchisor. Green Shoots is open to any operator who meets the vehicle, tools and standards requirements.

Should I buy a Weeding Women resale or join Green Shoots?

A resale buys an existing round at a much higher price. Green Shoots is a lower-entry network that dispatches jobs in a shared Perth zone. Neither is “better” without your cash position, risk tolerance and whether you want to own a client book outright.
