What to Expect Day-to-Day

This role is not a desk job. You will be on your feet and behind the wheel every day, responsible for servicing a route of residential and commercial lawn care customers. Mornings typically begin with loading equipment, reviewing your route, and verifying product inventory. Throughout the day you’ll be applying fertilizers and pesticides with precision, documenting your work, and interfacing with customers as needed. The expectation is that you manage your time effectively, communicate clearly with your Lawn Division Manager, and make sure every lawn on your route is treated correctly — done right, and done on time.
