Team Lead Lawn Care Maintenance

We take care of our customers. That only happens because of the people on our crew. If you're ready to lead a team of lawn care professionals and grow with a company that's expanding its footprint across northern Colorado, we want to talk.

The Grounds Guys of Longmont serves residential and commercial clients across Erie, Longmont, Firestone, Frederick, Dacono, and surrounding communities. We're a Neighborly franchise, which means you're joining a national brand with local ownership — a team that's invested in doing the job right, every time.

What You'll Own

This is a boots-on-the-ground leadership role. You'll be the person keeping jobs on schedule, crews on task, and customers satisfied. Specifically:

• Walk job sites daily to verify quality and catch issues before the customer does
• Help build and adjust routes to keep the schedule tight and jobs profitable
• Ensure equipment is field-ready and preventative maintenance stays current
• Support crew members with training, accountability, and day-to-day problem solving
• Handle customer concerns directly and resolve them the same day when possible
• Close out each day so the next morning starts clean

As the company grows — and we are growing — so does this role. We're looking for someone who wants to move up, not just fill a seat.

How We'll Measure Your Success

• Attendance — You set the standard. The crew follows your lead.
• Budget vs. Actual Hours — You understand that profitability lives in the details. We use LMN for job costing and you'll be expected to use it.
• Return Rates — Quality control is your responsibility. Callbacks should be rare.
• Crew Retention — A good team lead keeps good people. You'll help build that environment.
• Customer Retention — Relationships matter. You'll know your regular customers by name.

What We're Looking For

• Prior experience in landscaping, lawn care, or a related outdoor services field
• Comfortable operating and maintaining mowers, trimmers, and trailers
• Clean driving record; experience towing a trailer required
• Willing to obtain required certifications and licenses within 6 months if not already held
• Someone who communicates clearly, follows through, and doesn't need to be chased

Pay and Benefits

$24–$28/hour depending on experience. Additional benefits coming as the company grows.
