Lawn Care Technician
Ocala, FL, USA · Oakland, CA, USA
USD 50k-60k / year
Superior Services has been keeping Central Florida homes pest-free and lawns green since 1994. We are family-owned and based right here in Ocala, with more than 30 years in the business and an A+ rating with the BBB. A lot of folks know us by our easy-to-remember number, 1-800-Pest-Control. We started as a termite and pest company and grew into the one-stop shop we are today, handling pest, lawn, irrigation, and termite for thousands of customers across Marion, Lake, Sumter, Citrus, and the surrounding counties.
We are growing, and we are looking for dependable people who like being outside and want to make real money doing it. No lawn experience? That is fine. We will teach you everything.
Why People Stay at Superior
We are a family business, not a national chain, and that changes everything about how this job feels.
- We pay weekly. Most companies make you wait two weeks for a paycheck. We pay weekly, and that includes your commission.
- We pay for your licensing. Your ID card, your BMP certification, your Limited Fertilization card, all of it is on us. You will never pay out of pocket to get certified.
- There is no slow season. In Florida it is always bug season, and the lawns never stop growing. That means steady hours and steady pay all year, with no winter layoffs.
- You are a person here, not a number. The owner knows the crew by name. You will never be employee number four thousand on somebody's spreadsheet.
- Real benefits. The kind of coverage you would expect from a big company, from a company that still feels like family. See below.
Let's Talk Real Money
We know $15 an hour on a job board does not tell the story, so here is the full picture.
- Base pay. Your base starts at $15 an hour and goes up once you have earned your own route and shown you can run it.
- Overtime, every week. This is a strong-hours job for people who want the hours. Most weeks run 45 to 55 hours, and everything over 40 is paid at time and a half. A typical 50-hour week puts your base around $825 before you have sold a single thing.
- Uncapped commission. You earn commission on everything you sell, 15% to start and 20% once you beat your monthly budget, with no cap.
- Paid weekly. Base and commission together, every week. No waiting two weeks, and no waiting a month for your commission to show up.
Put it together and a motivated, full-time tech is realistically in the range of $50,000 to $60,000 a year and up. The ceiling is set by you, not by us.
What You Will Do
- Run your own residential lawn route across the Ocala area, treating each lawn for weeds, fungus, insects, and disease
- Apply fertilizers and treatments blended for Florida turf and the time of year
- Keep an eye on each lawn's health and catch problems before they spread
- Build easy rapport with your customers. A friendly two-minute conversation keeps them happy and keeps them with us.
- Hand out flyers and let neighbors know what we do. Every lead you turn into a sale pays you commission.
- Take pride in your routes. Around here, a tech who finishes on time with few callbacks is who everybody wants to be.
What You Bring

- No experience required. If you are coachable, we will handle the rest.
Your Schedule
Steady, year-round work with no slow season and no layoffs. Most weeks run 45 to 55 hours with plenty of overtime, and Saturdays are there, optional, when you want to bank extra hours. If you want all the hours you can get, you will fit right in.
