You do not need a college degree, high-school diploma, or years of landscaping experience. We care more about your work ethic, reliability, coachability, and willingness to take responsibility. This position has a clear path from entry-level technician to crew leader. You will not have to wait years for the opportunity to earn more. The faster you prove that you can produce quality work, operate independently, and lead others, the faster you can move up. Attitude Is Everything We can teach you how to mow, operate equipment, complete landscaping projects, and lead a crew. We cannot teach you to care. The right person will come to work ready to learn, accept feedback, maintain a strong pace, and take pride in completing the job correctly. Experience is helpful, but attitude is everything. We would rather hire someone inexperienced who is hungry to learn than someone experienced who is unreliable, negative, or unwilling to improve. Mistakes will happen. What matters is whether you take responsibility, learn from them, and improve. Clear Path to Higher Pay You will begin as a technician earning approximately $20-$23 per hour , depending on your experience and performance during the paid working interview.

Crew Leader — Approximately $24-$28 per Hour Lead another employee, manage daily production, communicate with customers, train new technicians, and make sure every property meets company standards. Future Operations Leadership As the company grows, there may be opportunities to help manage crews, train employees, coordinate routes, and oversee daily operations. There is no guaranteed timeline for advancement. Employees who become dependable, skilled, and capable of leading independently will move up faster.
