The Role
Superior Lawn Care is hiring a Lawn Treatment Route Technician to independently manage a daily route servicing residential and commercial properties.

- Identify common lawn issues such as weeds, insects, disease, and nutrient problems
- Keep accurate service and product-usage records
- Communicate with customers and recommend additional services when appropriate
- Maintain company equipment and vehicles

Required:
- At least 6 months of professional lawn care, turf care, treatment, or spray/application experience
- Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
- Ability to independently manage a daily route
- Comfortable working outdoors in heat, cold, humidity, and changing weather
- Able to perform physically demanding outdoor work throughout the day
- Reliable, detail-oriented, and safety-conscious
- Comfortable communicating with customers
Preferred:
- Experience applying fertilizer, weed control, herbicides, pesticides, or similar products
- Experience with spray equipment, spreaders, or other application equipment
- Ability to identify weeds, insects, disease, or other turf problems
- Previous experience as a Lawn Spray Technician, Lawn Treatment Technician, Applicator, Turf Technician, or Pest Control Technician
- Experience in a route-based service position
- Pesticide/applicator license or certification
A Good Fit for This Role
You're comfortable working independently and taking ownership of your route. You can stay on schedule, provide consistent service, communicate professionally with customers, and take pride in the results you produce.
Why Superior Lawn Care
We provide the equipment, support, and training you need while giving you the independence to manage your day.
You'll receive:
- $18-$20/hour
- Commission opportunities
- Production bonuses
- Full-time, year-round employment
If you have hands-on lawn treatment, spray application, turf care, or similar experience and are ready to manage your own service route, we'd like to hear from you.
