What Agape Lawn does

Agape Lawn Company is a privately held, full-service residential lawn care and outdoor living provider founded in 2009 and headquartered at 2314 S Miami Blvd #252 in Durham, North Carolina. The company operates as a single, integrated services business — not a software platform — serving homeowners across 28 cities and communities in the Greater Triangle region, including Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Pittsboro, and Clayton. Its service catalog is organized into five core categories: Lawn Care (a 7-step annual program of fertilization, weed, disease, insect, and grub control plus aeration, overseeding, and mowing), Landscaping (design, softscapes, drainage, mulching, cleanups, tree/shrub trimming, pressure washing), Irrigation (sprinkler and drip installation, startups, backflow testing, repairs, winterization plus tiered maintenance packages), Outdoor Living (patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, water features, pergolas, lighting backed by a 2-year warranty), and Pest Control (flea/tick and mosquito fogging on a 3-4 week April–November cycle).

Underlying technology is limited to consumer-grade IoT hardware resold within service packages: Wi-Fi-connected smart irrigation controllers with smartphone remote management and weather-based scheduling, and low-voltage LED landscape lighting with Bluetooth controls for brightness, timers, and color. There is no proprietary software, no AI/ML stack, no APIs, and no patents. The company holds a state landscape contractor license and has earned an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, a 4.9-star average across 1,300+ Google reviews, and regional 'Best of Triangle' and 'Best of Raleigh' recognition. Leadership consists of owner and president Brent Droege and a tenured operations bench including Carlos Zuniga (assistant manager of irrigation services since 2016). Headcount is in the 51-100 range.

Commercially, Agape generates revenue through a blend of recurring subscription-style programs (annual lawn care cycles, irrigation maintenance tiers, scheduled pest control) and one-time professional services/installations (hardscape, landscape lighting, drainage, full reno projects). Pricing is custom-quoted per job and customers reach the company primarily via phone ((919) 672-2509) or online quote-request forms. Larger hardscape and irrigation projects can be financed through a GreenSky partnership at 11.99% APR over 180 months or via 6/12-month deferred-interest plans. The go-to-market is sales-led direct-to-consumer, supported by an SEO-optimized website with educational blog content, deep local service-area pages, and a Google-reviews-driven trust narrative. The customer base is fully residential and long-tail, with no disclosed enterprise contracts or commercial accounts.
