CLEVELAND - February 19, 2015 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Americans are on a quest for a green and healthy lawn and spend an average of $40 billion per year in maintenance.

"With more than 40 years of experience providing lawn care services to communities across North America, we have become true members of the territories we serve.

With sales topping nearly $73 million in 2014, the company experienced a 17.6 percent growth in system sales over the previous year. Furthermore, Weed Man USA saw an average renewal rate of 75 percent, a 3 percent increase over the previous year.

Weed Man of Roswell franchise owners, Jim McClure and Kevin Adan, have experienced remarkable success with establishing their presence throughout 16 territories.
