Description

Job Description: Lawn Maintenance Specialist

We are looking for a reliable, hardworking Lawn Maintenance Specialist to join our team. If you enjoy working outdoors, take pride in creating manicured landscapes, and don't mind a bit of "honest sweat," we’d love to have you on board.

As a key member of our crew, you won’t just be "mowing grass"—you’ll be responsible for the curb appeal and health of our clients' outdoor spaces.

Key Responsibilities

• Precision Mowing: Operate push mowers, zero-turn riders, and stand-on units to maintain turf at specific heights.
• Detailing: Perform expert string trimming (weed whacking) around flower beds, fences, and walkways.
• Edging: Create clean, professional lines along sidewalks and driveways using power edgers.
• Cleanup: Ensure all clippings are cleared from hardscapes using high-powered blowers, leaving the property spotless.
• Equipment Care: Perform basic daily maintenance on gear (checking oil, cleaning decks, and reporting sharpening needs).
• Safety First: Maintain a safe work environment for yourself, your team, and the public.

Requirements

Qualifications & Skills

• Physical Stamina: Ability to walk long distances, lift up to 50 lbs, and work in various weather conditions (heat, light rain, etc.).
• Attention to Detail: A "good enough" attitude won't cut it—we look for those who notice the missed blade of grass.
• Reliability: Our clients depend on a schedule. You need to show up on time and ready to work.
• Experience: Prior experience with commercial landscaping equipment is a plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate with a strong work ethic.
• Transportation: Valid driver’s license and reliable transport to the shop or job sites.

Why Work With Us?

• Competitive Pay: Starting at $18 per hour (DOE).
• The Great Outdoors: No stuffy offices or fluorescent lights.
• Active Work: Get paid to stay moving and stay fit.
• Growth Opportunities: We prefer to promote from within for Crew Lead and Management positions.
• Earned PTO hours after 90 days of employment
• Health and Dental insurance opportunities
• IRA contributions
