Lawn Maintenance Specialist
Turf Masters Lawn And Landscape, Iowa City, IA, United States
Job Description: Lawn Maintenance Specialist
We are looking for a reliable, hardworking
Lawn Maintenance Specialist
to join our team. If you enjoy working outdoors, take pride in creating manicured landscapes, and don't mind a bit of "honest sweat," we’d love to have you on board.
As a key member of our crew, you won’t just be "mowing grass"—you’ll be responsible for the curb appeal and health of our clients' outdoor spaces.
Key Responsibilities
Precision Mowing:
Operate push mowers, zero-turn riders, and stand-on units to maintain turf at specific heights.
Detailing:
Perform expert string trimming (weed whacking) around flower beds, fences, and walkways.
Edging:
Create clean, professional lines along sidewalks and driveways using power edgers.
Cleanup:
Ensure all clippings are cleared from hardscapes using high-powered blowers, leaving the property spotless.
Equipment Care:
Perform basic daily maintenance on gear (checking oil, cleaning decks, and reporting sharpening needs).
Safety First:
Maintain a safe work environment for yourself, your team, and the public.
Qualifications & Skills
Physical Stamina:
Ability to walk long distances, lift up to 50 lbs, and work in various weather conditions (heat, light rain, etc.).
Attention to Detail:
A "good enough" attitude won't cut it—we look for those who notice the missed blade of grass.
Reliability:
Our clients depend on a schedule. You need to show up on time and ready to work.
Experience:
Prior experience with commercial landscaping equipment is a plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate with a strong work ethic.
Transportation:
Valid driver’s license and reliable transport to the shop or job sites.
Why Work With Us?
Competitive Pay:
Starting at $18 per hour (DOE).
The Great Outdoors:
No stuffy offices or fluorescent lights.
Active Work:
Get paid to stay moving and stay fit.
Growth Opportunities:
We prefer to promote from within for Crew Lead and Management positions.
Earned PTO hours after 90 days of employment
Health and Dental insurance opportunities
IRA contributions
Compensation details:
18-20 Hourly Wage
