What a landscape crew member job description is for

Landscaping crews turn over every season, and the best workers go to the companies whose posts are clear about the work and the hours. Say whether the job is mowing routes, planting and hardscape, or both, how early the day starts, and whether there is winter work. A clear post brings people who want the work and stay through summer.

What to put in a landscape crew member job description

  • Maintenance, installation or both.
  • The equipment: zero-turn mowers, trimmers, blowers, skid steers.
  • The season, start time and what happens in winter.
  • Whether a driver's license or trailer experience is required.
  • Pesticide or fertilizer licensing, if crew members apply product.
  • Your pay range and any end-of-season bonus.
