Why Choose Coochie?

No-one loves their lawns as much as Aussie homeowners, and we should know, as over 30,000 of them use Coochie HydroGreen to get their turf the talk of the town and the envy of their street.

Aussies spend over 90,000 hours of their life at work, so it’s not surprising that when we surveyed our customers, the majority of them are time-poor families who enjoy the convenience of Coochie HydroGreen to maintain their lawns when they just don’t have time to. So with all those hours spent at work wouldn’t you rather spend it working for yourself?

Coochie HydroGreen is Australia’s leading lawn care franchise, and our proven systems, protected IP and brand presence has meant that Coochie HydroGreen franchisees are making more money than they ever thought possible, have an excellent work-life balance and are in control of their own future.

Our year-round scheduled servicing not only allows our clients to have the best lawn possible, it also means our franchisees have stable income, predictable expenses and are able to manage their cashflow from the first steps of their business right up to retirement or expansion. Whether you start out as a Greenfield with nil customers or purchase an existing franchise with hundreds of customers the business can grow with you.

As a company we take pride in providing professional and timely support to our franchisees in all aspects of the business and are extremely proud of the results they are achieving.
"Even though we are only fresh into our new adventure, we know this has been the best decision for our young family."
Ash Bailey, franchise owner North Townsville
"We have learned so much and feel like we've grown with the company. No doubts that we would do it again."
Chris Mick, franchise owner South Rockhampton
"The transition from being a wage earner to being self-employed is enormous. Company support and transparency in everything I hoped for, no smoke and mirrors just honest genuine support."
Ken Challis, franchise owner Albury Wodonga

About you

We are looking for hardworking, driven individuals who are ready for a change and are up for a challenge.

Franchising with Coochie HydroGreen sets you up with a business we believe will succeed. However, the key to success is you. If you are willing to put in the effort your business will thrive.

Enjoying outside work is essential to our business model, as most of your time will be spent in your vehicle and spraying outdoors.

We find that some of our most successful franchisees have experience in sales, are confident in themselves and the product, and are willing to immerse themselves in the Coochie culture.

Experience, knowledge, or an interest in turf is not necessary but is ideal.
