Who We Are

Did you know that Ryan Lawn & Tree is a $100M+ professional Lawn & Landscape company? We've built one of the most respected lawn and tree care companies in the Midwest — and serve customers across Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. We're on a mission to raise the bar for our entire industry — attracting exceptional people, treating them right, and doing work that leaves a mark on every community we touch.

Become the Lawn Detective Homeowners Can't Live Without.

Some people see a struggling lawn. You see a mystery waiting to be solved. You know that the right diagnosis, the right application, and the right care can turn a problem property into a neighborhood showpiece — and you take real pride in making that happen.

At Ryan Lawn & Tree, we're looking for a Turf Trainee who's ready to be both a skilled technician and a trusted advisor — the person homeowners call when their lawn needs saving and the person who delivers results that actually last.

What You'll Do

• Own your route. Manage a route of 400–500 customers, delivering consistent, high-quality service on every visit.
• Learn to diagnose and solve. Identify lawn problems others can't see and prescribe specific solutions that actually work for each individual property.
• Deliver the full package. Complete turf bid requests, fertilization applications, aeration, seeding, and service calls across your customer base.
• Be the expert. Develop a thorough knowledge of turfgrass practices as well as all other Ryan services so you can be a true resource for your customers.
• Build relationships. Provide excellent account management and customer service — earning the trust of homeowners who take pride in their outdoor spaces.

Work hard, together. Thrive independently on your route while also being a strong

What You Bring

• High School Diploma or GED required
• Valid driver's license; ability to obtain DOT certification
• Ability to obtain and maintain a state-issued pesticide applicator license (turfgrass) within 3 months
• Ability to lift 50 lbs.
• A curious, problem-solving mindset and a genuine love for the outdoors

** SAFETY-SENSITIVE POSITION: This is a safety-sensitive position requiring the operation of vehicles and equipment. All candidates must successfully complete a pre-employment drug screen (including marijuana), criminal background check, MVR check, and DOT physical (where applicable) before starting employment. Candidates must meet all screening requirements as a condition of employment.

We hire great people for our employee-owned company. You will become a partner in the highest quality lawn and tree company in the Midwest. Why work at RYAN? In addition to being a non-smoking & EEOC company with advancement opportunities, other great benefits include:

• Full time year around employment with a starting compensation of $48,000 - $53,000 depending on experience with bonuses available.
• Excellent benefits package to include: Health Insurance, Dental/Vision, 401k w/ company match, and more
• 17 Paid Time Off (PTO) Days, 11 Paid Holidays and 1 Personal Floating Holiday
• 100% Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
