About The Position

As a Lawn Care Specialist, you will play an essential role in creating the lush, green lawns that our clients take pride in. A typical day may include performing soil analysis, diagnosing turf conditions, applying customized treatments, providing seeding and aeration services, using specialized equipment, educating clients, and managing your own territory. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working outdoors, solving problems, and taking ownership of the landscapes under their care. SavATree was founded 45 years ago with a mission to preserve trees threatened by the gypsy moth epidemic. Since then, we’ve grown into a nationwide leader in tree, shrub, and lawn care services. Unlike companies that focus on removal, our work is rooted in preservation and care. We are a values-driven organization built on teamwork, integrity, respect, and a relentless commitment to making a positive impact. When you join us, you’ll find a collaborative, competitive, and caring environment where your contributions matter. As we like to say: When you work here, you thrive here.
