Prolawn.com ProLawn, powered by our people and REgenxIQ™, has been providing lawn care in the Shenandoah Valley, Northern Virginia, and Eastern West Virginia for over 45 years.

Spring is NOT the time to plant grass seed. Read why here:

Regarding grass, Spring is for growing, NOT for planting! With everything greening up around us, it’s hard to resist the urge to overseed your lawn, especially if you have bare batches. RESIST the urge!

We are looking for a few good men and women to join the ProLawn Team, now in our 40th year serving clients in VA, MD and WV.

As a newly hired Lawn Health Care Technician, you will train in all areas, including grounds maintenance, lawn health care spray technician, tree and shrub services, irrigation services, and shop maintenance to become cross-trained in all field staff service areas.

The ultimate goal is to have your own route and service areas once you become fertilizer and pesticide applicator licensed! And we're there all along the way to provide you with the training and support you need to be successful.

We offer our Field Staff:

- competitive salary and bonus program

- benefits package including health, life, short-term disability, dental & vision insurance as well as a retirement plan with employer contributions

- industry and company training

- opportunities for advancement

Skills and Attributes we're looking for include:

- Willing to become certified to apply fertilizer and pesticides

- Able to lift up to 60 pounds on a regular basis

- Able to mange time and problem solve independently and within a team

- Previous industry experience is an asset but is not required

We offer YEAR Round employment. Unlike most of our competitors, we DO NOT lay off our field staff in the winter months as we engage in equipment maintenance, shop clean up and organization, and salt sales and snow removal during the "off" season.
