Outdoor Lawn Care Technician

Company Overview
Greener Living Lawn Care has spent the past seven years turning ordinary yards in the greater Chicago area into showcase lawns. We currently serve 1,700 happy clients and are on track to reach 2,400 by next season. Our inside sales team drives demand—our Field Service Technicians turn that demand into results, applying the pro-grade products that make our customers’ turf look like a freshly mown ballfield. If you’re looking for a role where hard work outdoors, pride in craftsmanship, and a supportive, growth-minded culture all come together, we’d love to meet you.
