Description

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.

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.

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
