WHAT TO EXPECT AT WORK

• Projects are budgeted for a certain number of hours and a certain amount of materials. Keeping jobs moving along on time and minimizing wasted materials requires a cooperative effort from everyone
• crewmen, supervisors, project foreman, and management staff.

Everyone is expected to maintain a steady, productive pace in their tasks on the job site. Not rushing ; that will lead to mistakes, poor quality work, and accidents. Not dragging ; that will put the job behind schedule and over-budget, which eats up money that would be available for bonuses/raises. A steady, solid pace throughout the project is what everyone needs to aim for on our installation and construction jobs. The clients Real Turf Solutions serves often select us over the competition because of our focus on providing quality results and the peace of mind they have from our promise not to cut corners or take shortcuts with their projects. Jobs and Tasks You can expect to do a wide range of different installs and landscape enhancements while working with the installation crews. Large projects often have multiple installations happening on the same job site at once. Workers will often have to shift gears from one task to another several times per day. For instance, in the morning, you may be laying a hardscape patio and retaining wall with a built-in French drain system, then an irrigation line gets hit. You repair it, go to lunch, and come back to find the shipment of plants just got delivered, and they all have to get in the ground that same day. There is no lack of variety in our day-to-day tasks!

Common install jobs include:

Hardscapes Sod installation Plant installation Pinestraw installation Mulch installation Drainage installation Irrigation Landscape lighting __________________________________________________
