Lawn Mowing Crew Member and Lawn Mowing Crew Leader
Responsibilities & Wages
Working with 1-2 other crew members, you will visit our commercial locations to mow the property. We have Exmark standers and 60” zero turn mowers that you will use and maintain. You will also do a lot of trimming with a weed trimmer, maintain beds by spraying and pulling weeds, picking up any garbage, blowing any clippings off the sidewalks and beds. Leaving everything looking sharp. Each week you will assist in maintaining your equipment, clearing decks, changing blades, and cleaning the machine up for the next week to do it all over again. Before the lawn season we complete our Spring Clean-ups and touch up the mulch for our customers. Twice a season we will bring crews together to trim shrubs at our commercial properties and a few residential. We will then finish up our season with fall cleanups, removing all of the leaves. We will have some jobs throughout the summer for our customers to assist with property maintenance, changing shrubs out or cleaning up brush or redoing beds. Then winter comes and we will have plowing available to anyone that is ready and wanting the hours. You will be on call from November through April and when the snow stops or prior to opening hours we will clear snow. We also only applicate liquid deicers which many find to be easier and more fun than rock salt.
Hourly wages range from $20-$25/hour based on levels of experience.
Currently, full-time positions are available. Part-time positions can be discussed!

Responsibilities & Wages
You will spend your days driving truck and trailer from our shop to customer homes. With the use of a Z-Spray you will apply fertilizer, herbicide, insecticide and fungicide to lawns. Assessing and correcting any problems a customer’s lawn has. We retain just about 100% of our customers each year and it is very important that you give great customer service to them all. Our routes are highly dense areas and at times you will approach these areas as a team. It will be important that you can work independently while also working with the other applicator in the area. You will not do any door-to-door sales or phone solicitations, because we receive many referrals from our other well-maintained properties. This is an hourly paid position. Additional jobs will include assisting with spring & fall cleanups and additional jobs as they arise. On occasion assisting our mowing and shrub trimming routes. Because we approach the company work as a team, we are able to offer more hours during events of poor weather, giving more stable weekly hours during the summer. During the winter months, you will participate in our snow clearing and liquid deicing for our commercial properties.
