Lawn Care Crew Leader Supervisor

Lead the Crew. Own the Quality. Grow With Jay’s Lawn Care.

Jay’s Lawn Care is looking for an experienced and motivated Lawn Care Crew Leader to help lead our field operations in Fayetteville and the surrounding Northwest Arkansas area.

We’re raising the standard for professionalism in the lawn care industry. We work with a selective client base, operate with strong systems, and believe the people doing the work should have a meaningful stake in the company’s success.

This position is for someone who is ready to take ownership — not just of the work being performed, but of the crew, the client experience, the equipment, the schedule, and the quality of every property we service.

We offer above-industry pay, performance incentives, profit-sharing opportunities, training, and a clear path for continued advancement.

Our work changes with the seasons. In addition to lawn care and landscaping, Crew Leaders help oversee Christmas light installation, seasonal lighting projects, maintenance, and removal.

Why Work With Us?

• Competitive $20–$25 /hour base pay, depending on experience and responsibility
• Performance and P4P bonuses
• Profit-sharing opportunities
• Clear systems and expectations
• Increasing autonomy and responsibility
• Professional and supportive team culture
• High-caliber training and development
• Opportunities to advance into higher-level leadership and management
• 30–40 hours per week
• Schedule designed to support a healthy work-life balance
• Occasional weekend work during peak season

We’re intentional about building a company where great people can earn more, develop leadership skills, and build a career.

The Role

As a Crew Leader, you are responsible for leading a small field team and ensuring each property is completed safely, efficiently, professionally, and to Jay’s Lawn Care’s quality standards.

You’ll set the pace for the crew, inspect completed work, communicate with clients when needed, maintain equipment and vehicles, and make sure the day’s work gets done correctly.

During the Christmas light season, you’ll also be responsible for leading crews through safe, efficient, and professional seasonal lighting installations.

The Crew Leader is the person the team looks to when something needs to be figured out.

Leadership & Crew Management

• Lead and direct a lawn care crew throughout the workday
• Set clear expectations for quality, efficiency, safety, and professionalism
• Train and coach Crew Members in proper mowing, trimming, edging, cleanup, and landscaping techniques
• Train team members on safe and professional Christmas light installation practices
• Hold crew members accountable to company standards
• Help develop employees into stronger technicians and future leaders
• Maintain a positive, respectful, and productive team environment
• Communicate schedule changes, issues, and job details clearly
• Lead by example in work ethic, punctuality, appearance, and attitude

Quality Control

You are ultimately responsible for making sure the job is done right.

• Inspect lawns and landscapes before leaving each property
• Ensure mowing heights, lines, edging, trimming, blowing, and cleanup meet company standards
• Identify issues with turf, plants, irrigation, weeds, pests, or landscape conditions
• Correct problems before leaving the property whenever possible
• Ensure gates are closed and properties are left secure
• Make sure equipment and debris are properly handled
• Inspect completed Christmas light installations for neatness, symmetry, security, functionality, and overall appearance
• Troubleshoot and correct lighting issues when possible
• Take ownership when something goes wrong rather than passing blame

The standard is not “we finished the job.” The standard is “we finished the job correctly.”

Client Professionalism

As a Crew Leader, you are one of the primary faces of Jay’s Lawn Care.

You are expected to:

• Arrive clean, presentable, and professionally dressed
• Maintain a professional appearance throughout the workday
• Communicate confidently and respectfully with clients
• Answer basic client questions or know when to escalate an issue
• Protect client property and treat every property as if it were your own
• Be aware of gates, pets, vehicles, outdoor furniture, irrigation components, and landscaping features
• Handle client concerns calmly and professionally
• Never argue with or speak disrespectfully to a client
• Communicate important property observations back to management
• Leave every property looking clean, organized, and professionally maintained
• Represent Jay’s Lawn Care professionally during Christmas light consultations, installations, and service visits

Our clients should see the Crew Leader and immediately know that their property is in good hands.

Equipment & Operations

• Safely operate and maintain commercial mowers, trimmers, blowers, edgers, and other equipment
• Perform daily equipment inspections
• Identify basic mechanical issues and communicate maintenance needs
• Keep trucks, trailers, tools, ladders, lighting equipment, and other gear organized
• Ensure the crew has the necessary equipment and materials for the day
• Report damaged or missing equipment promptly
• Use company technology for scheduling, communication, job documentation, and operations
• Help keep jobs on schedule without sacrificing quality

Christmas Light Installation & Seasonal Projects

• Lead Christmas light installation and removal crews
• Execute installations according to company specifications and client expectations
• Safely manage ladders, extension cords, lighting equipment, and installation tools
• Ensure lights are installed neatly, securely, symmetrically, and professionally
• Inspect rooflines, trees, shrubs, and other installation areas before and after work
• Identify and troubleshoot lighting issues
• Ensure cords and equipment are organized and safely positioned
• Communicate installation details and basic project information to clients
• Ensure the property is left clean and secure after installation
• Lead the crew in completing seasonal lighting projects safely and efficiently

Landscaping & Grounds Maintenance

Depending on experience and seasonal needs, responsibilities may include:

• Mowing and turf maintenance
• Trimming and edging
• Planting and landscape installation
• Pruning trees, shrubs, and plants
• Mulching and bed maintenance
• Fertilization and weed control
• Irrigation maintenance and troubleshooting
• Plant and pest identification
• Leaf removal
• Seasonal property preparation
• Snow/ice-related groundskeeping when required
• General landscape cleanup

What We’re Looking For

The ideal Crew Leader is:

• Reliable and punctual
• A strong communicator
• Mechanically inclined
• Detail-oriented
• Comfortable leading others
• Calm under pressure
• Coachable and willing to continue learning
• Highly accountable
• Professional with clients
• Safety-conscious
• Efficient without cutting corners
• Someone who takes pride in the finished product

Previous lawn care, landscaping, groundskeeping, construction, or other outdoor leadership experience is strongly preferred.

Experience with seasonal lighting or Christmas light installation is a plus.

We’re particularly interested in candidates who have demonstrated the ability to lead people, manage equipment, solve problems, and maintain high standards without constant supervision.

Requirements

• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
• Reliable transportation
• Ability to pass a drug test and background check
• Strong character references
• Ability to read and write effectively and use company technology
• Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions
• Ability to perform the physical requirements of the position
• Ability to safely operate landscaping equipment
• Ability to safely work with ladders and seasonal lighting equipment
• Willingness to follow and enforce company safety standards

Compensation & Growth

This is more than a mowing position.

We want our Crew Leaders to develop into high-level operators and leaders who can eventually take ownership of larger teams, routes, client relationships, seasonal projects, and operational responsibilities.

Strong performance can lead to increased compensation, greater autonomy, profit-sharing opportunities, and advancement within the company.

If you’re already a strong lawn care technician and are ready to lead people, own results, and grow with a company, we’d love to meet you.

Apply today and let’s see if you’re the right fit for Jay’s Lawn Care.
