A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A LAWN CARE SPECIALIST
As a Lawn Care Specialist, you enjoy spending your working day outdoors in various weather conditions. You will typically work 10-hour days, 4 days per week (with variations due to weather and customer needs). You consult with both residential and commercial customers on a full range of lawn and landscape issues to assess their needs. Your exceptional customer service skills and comprehensive training enable you to ensure that your customers are happy with their property and your services.
You will drive company vehicles to customer locations, where you work to efficiently provide lawn care, lawn aeration, mowing, tree/shrub care and pruning, mosquito control, and snow removal. Because of your dedication and ability to easily build rapport, your customers know they can depend on you and our company for their lawn and landscape care needs. You will love helping your customers achieve the lawn and landscape of their dreams!
You don't need to know everything about lawn care or the above topics, but having the willingness to make a difference for our customers will be helpful. We are excited to teach you everything you need to know to be successful, as long as you are open to learning and growing with us. That being said if you've had previous experience as a general laborer, construction worker, landscaper, groundskeeper, or lawn mower, then this position might be a good fit for you.
