Lawn Maintenance Crew Member

Bodine's Landscape Services is accepting applications for a lawn maintenance crew member serving Auburn–Opelika residential and commercial clients. The family-owned company has worked in East Alabama for four decades. This position focuses on dependable recurring care of established lawns and beds, where consistent technique, a professional presence, and attention to small details determine whether a property looks fully maintained. What you will do • Mow established lawns at the correct pattern and height for the property and conditions. • Trim and edge turf cleanly around beds, hard surfaces, structures, and other features. • Use blowers to remove clippings and debris without damaging plants or disturbing customers. • Maintain beds through assigned weeding, debris removal, and routine appearance work. • Inspect tools and equipment, report problems, and follow the route lead's safety procedures. • Communicate clearly with teammates and preserve a professional appearance at client properties. How the work fits together Recurring maintenance depends on disciplined route work. The crew prepares the equipment, travels among assigned properties, divides mowing and detail tasks, and inspects the result before loading out. Team members must balance efficiency with judgment: wet areas, newly planted beds, irrigation heads, slopes, vehicles, people, and debris can all change how a property should be serviced that day. What the employer is looking for • A valid driver's license is required by the employer for applicants. • Dependable teamwork, clear communication, professional conduct, and attention to detail. • Ability to take initiative, solve ordinary field problems, and follow company processes. • Experience with commercial or residential mowing, trimming, edging, blowing, or bed care is helpful and should be included on the application. Schedule, conditions, and compensation Bodine's describes compensation as competitive with advancement opportunity. It lists Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance plus paid vacation and sick days as available but does not publish the wage or eligibility rules. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; applicants should confirm actual crew hours, overtime, starting pay, insurance cost and start date, leave accrual, and year-round workload. This is an in-person horticulture and outdoor position with a small operation. Daily priorities can change with weather, plant or animal condition, equipment availability, customer schedules, and the season. The successful person should arrive ready to work, communicate early when a task or condition is unclear, follow the employer's safety and quality procedures, and leave tools, vehicles, production areas, and job sites secure and ready for the next shift. Applicants should expect active work that may include long periods of standing or walking, bending, lifting, repetitive hand tasks, noise, dust, mud, pollen, heat, cold, rain, or work around moving equipment. The exact physical demands differ by assignment. Candidates should discuss any accommodation needs with the employer and confirm the final schedule, overtime treatment, training period, travel expectations, and benefit eligibility before accepting an offer.
