Monster Tree Service Franchise Model Overview

Monster Tree Service franchises provide residential and commercial tree services: removal, pruning, land clearing, stump grinding and plant health care. It is an equipment-intensive field business run from a small office and parking yard, with crews, a dump truck, loaders, trailers and a sales vehicle; much of the equipment is typically financed, so a buyer should look closely at the existing fleet and debt. Territories are sized by single-family dwellings and each carries its own franchise agreement, so many owners run several territories as one business. A designated Key Person, normally an owner, must run day-to-day operations from the business office; a general manager can serve if approved, and owners of 5% or more sign a personal guarantee. The brand sits within Authority Brands. The system has contracted sharply, falling from about 217 operating territories to 134 over three years, and the company-owned outlets were sold to a franchisee in 2024. Item 19 reports franchisee revenue data.
