Residential Lawn Techs Needed - 2024 Season

We are a small family-owned lawn service looking for individuals to help with Spring Raking and Aeration of lawns now through May, transitioning to lawn Mowing around late May through October, with Fall Aeration for a few more weeks in September. This is a seasonal position so if you’re still available for a few weeks in November, we would love some help with Leaf Clean Ups as well. We work on mostly residential lawns, so with no commercial grounds maintenance to do in the winter, we do not work from about December through February.

· Training Pay is $15.00 an hour until we’re confident enough to turn you loose on your own (usually around 3 to 4 days, or 1 work week).

· After training, starting pay is $20 per hour.

· Seasonal Bonus: Spring Raking and Aeration is the physically hardest part of this position, so we do offer a 1-week extra paycheck bonus to anyone that starts with us before April and sticks with us until Spring services are over in May. The bonus will be an average of all hours worked April and May and will be paid out in the first week of June.

We work individually most of the season, being responsible for our own trucks, equipment & routes. However, with communication from everyone throughout the day, it’s a team effort to get all jobs completed companywide on a daily basis. Our typical schedule is Mon-Thurs from 7:00 am until all scheduled jobs are complete. End time can vary but is usually no later than 5pm. Our Weekly goal is to be done by Thursday to have a 3-day weekend. 4 – 10-hour days, each day about 1 hour of load and drive time to the first jobsite, about 1 hour drive time back to our facility with unload time, 1 hour of drivetimes throughout the day in between jobsites, leaving about 7 hours of lawn work on properties.

Our workload really depends on weather. We keep Friday and Saturday open in case we can’t finish by Thursday. Working outside unfortunately sometimes weather is a factor. It could rain on a Mon causing us to work Tues – Fri as an example.

Training is provided regardless of experience so it’s ok if you’re not familiar with lawn care as long as you’re capable and willing to learn. This can be a very detail oriented and physically demanding position that requires someone to be always alert and aware of their surroundings. If hired, you’ll be solely responsible for taking care of our long-time customers, friends, family members, and brand-new customers that trust us to do everything possible to take care of their property with little to no supervision.

We understand this is a seasonal job, and most people are looking for something year-round, but also please understand we would like to see someone here through the entire season and not just a couple weeks. We’ve seen a lot of great people come through here in our 20+ Years of Service that ultimately use us as a steppingstone before they find their permanent employment. We’re thrilled when they stick with us for at least the full season and are ecstatic if they stay for more. We’re not looking for the typical laborer that bounces from company to company. We’re looking for people that can utilize their skills beyond just simply mowing lawns. Residential customers require more special attention than commercial accounts. We’re looking for friendly smiles, attention to detail, and the understanding we’re not just mowing grass, we’re on customer personal property trying to make things as neat and tidy as if they would if they were still able to do it themselves.

Thank you so much for considering working with us and we're looking forward to your help!
