How much does a Canopy Lawn Care franchise make?

Canopy Lawn Care is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Canopy Lawn Care franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Canopy Lawn Care's 8% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Canopy Lawn Care franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Canopy Lawn Care franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

Canopy Lawn Care lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Canopy Lawn Care's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.

Canopy Lawn Care closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Canopy Lawn Care will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Canopy Lawn Care's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home services of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Canopy Lawn Care's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.

Who owns Canopy Lawn Care?

Canopy Lawn Care's franchise is offered by Canopy Franchise Corporation — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Canopy Lawn Care franchise — frequently asked

Who owns Canopy Lawn Care — who is the franchisor?

Canopy Lawn Care's most recently filed FDD (2026) names Canopy Franchise Corporation as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.

How much does a Canopy Lawn Care franchise cost?

Canopy Lawn Care's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $98,100 – $188,200, with an initial franchise fee of $49,500 and a 8% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against home services peers it sits in the upper quartile (median $162,725).

How much profit does a Canopy Lawn Care franchise make?

Canopy Lawn Care discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties (8% of gross for Canopy Lawn Care), the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Canopy Lawn Care franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.

Does Canopy Lawn Care disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

Yes — Canopy Lawn Care reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.

Are there lawsuits against Canopy Lawn Care?

No — Canopy Lawn Care's most recently filed FDD (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. Franchisors must disclose material litigation involving themselves, their predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 is a genuine signal rather than an omission.

Is Canopy Lawn Care a good franchise to buy?

Nobody can answer that from Canopy Lawn Care's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against home services peers and against your own budget. Our read on this filing is medium risk. Every figure behind that read is on this page for free. If you're comparing options, the free shortlist on this page matches you with 5–10 franchises that fit your budget and industry.
