Turfgrass Route Specialist

HillSide Lawn Service is hiring for the Turfgrass Route Specialist position in Georgetown, DE. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Complete assigned mowing, edging, trimming, pruning, bed care, and property cleanup to the employer's finish standard. • Inspect, use, clean, and secure assigned hand tools and powered landscape equipment safely. • Protect plants, irrigation, buildings, vehicles, customers, and coworkers while work is underway. • Complete soil-based turf care along an assigned customer route. • Learn lawn analysis, soil testing, aeration, and pest-management practices. • Communicate clearly with customers and record property findings. How the work fits together Recurring landscape work is organized by route and property scope. The crew reviews priorities, prepares equipment, divides production and detail tasks, and checks the entire property before loading out. Team members must report plant stress, irrigation trouble, damage, unsafe conditions, or work outside the approved scope instead of concealing or guessing about it. At HillSide Lawn Service, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Complete soil-based turf care along an assigned customer route. Learn lawn analysis, soil testing, aeration, and pest-management practices. Communicate clearly with customers and record property findings.
