Are you passionate about the outdoors, enjoy hands-on work, and take pride in making lawns look lush and healthy? Do you want a job where you see real results from your efforts every day—and get paid to help homeowners enjoy beautiful yards? We're growing fast  and we're looking for a reliable, customer-focused Lawn Technician to join our team! We don't mow and we don't dig—it's professional, science-based lawn care: applying precise treatments to fertilize, control weeds, fight pests, seed, aerate, and more. If you love being largely self-directed, working outdoors, and delivering top-notch service, this could be your perfect fit.

What You'll Do:

• Travel to residential and commercial customer homes in a company-provided, fully equipped vehicle
• Apply the correct amounts of fertilizer, herbicides, seeding, aeration, and pest control treatments (mosquitoes, grubs, moles, etc.) with precision and care
• Diagnose basic lawn issues and provide friendly, knowledgeable recommendations to our customers
• Achieve modest add-on sales goals by spotting opportunities and offering value-added services
• Maintain accurate service records and follow safety/environmental protocols
• Deliver exceptional customer service—aiming for 4.8+ star Google reviews through professionalism, listening and recommending solutions
• Keep your personal appearance, uniform, and service vehicle spotless and professional at all times (we provide uniforms!)
• Maintain or obtain Missouri pesticide applicator and service technician licenses (we support training and renewal)

What We're Looking For:

• Valid driver's license with clean driving record (required)
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs, bend, stoop, and work outdoors in varying weather
• Strong work ethic, reliability, and attention to detail
• Positive attitude and great communication skills—customers love our techs!
• Previous lawn care, landscaping, agriculture, or pest control experience is a big plus (but not required—we provide comprehensive paid training!)
• Willingness to obtain or maintain Missouri pesticide applicator license (we'll help you get certified)
• No mowing experience needed—this is treatment-focused lawn health work

Why Join Our Lawn Doctor Team?

• Be part of a trusted brand — Lawn Doctor has over 50 years of excellence and the highest customer retention in the industry
• Room to grow — Many of our technicians advance to leadership roles or even franchise ownership
• Great perks — Company vehicle (no personal mileage worries), all tools/equipment/uniforms provided, paid training, performance bonuses, and potential for overtime
• Work-life balance — Structured routes, seasonal flexibility (peak spring/summer, lighter winter options)
• Make a difference — Help families enjoy greener, healthier lawns while working in a fun, supportive environment
