LAWN SPECIALIST - LONE OAK LAWN CARE

If you enjoy working outdoors with minimal supervision this may be the job for you! We are a growing company looking for quality individuals to join our team. Experience is not necessary as we will train the right individual. Pay is based on experience with time and a half after 40 hours & unemployment compensation in the off season. We also offer oppotunities for advancement for those willing to put in the work and looking to move up.

Duties include : loading and mixing products, applying fertilizer and pesticide to home and business lawns, explaining the service to potential customers, answering questions and keeping equipment and uniforms clean and well maintained. Equipment used includes pick-up trucks, push and ride-on lawn spreaders, sprayers and occasional use of trailers and aerators. Most work is done with modern ride-on spreaders but you must be able to lift a 50 pound bag and use a push spreader. Sales is low-key with minimal phone work.

Our work week is often influenced by weather and includes Saturdays as necessary. The busiest time for us is typically from late March to Mid May and late August through October. This is a seasonal business lasting from The middle of March to late October with winter layoff. We give a re-hire date so winter job search has not been required to collect unemployment benefits.
