Free lawn care technician job description template

Lawn care runs on routes, and a route only works when the same people show up every week. A good description says how many lawns a day, whether the role is mowing only or includes treatments, and whether a state applicator license is required for spraying. Applicants who know what they are signing up for are far more likely to finish the season.

• Mowing routes, treatments or both.
• The number of properties on a typical day.
• Equipment: stand-on and zero-turn mowers, trimmers, spreaders.
• Applicator licensing for fertilizer and weed control.
• Season length and weather days.
• Your pay range.

• Applies fertilizer and weed control on a schedule.
• Aerates and overseeds in the fall.
• Notes problems like grubs, bare spots and drainage for the customer.
• Keeps blades sharp and machines maintained.
• Drives the route safely with the trailer.
