Grounds Maintenance & Landscaper

Grounds Maintenance & Landscaper

Crown Co. | $20–$22/hour | Entry-Level Candidates Welcome

Tired of putting in a hard day’s work somewhere that treats you like just another employee?

What if you could work somewhere your effort is noticed, your independence is trusted, and at the end of the day you can actually see what you accomplished?

Crown Co. is looking for the kind of person who would rather be outside getting something done than standing around waiting to be told what to do. Someone who takes pride in a property that looks right, equipment that is taken care of, landscaping that stands out, and a job finished the way it should be.

This can be a great entry-level opportunity for someone who has the right work ethic and wants to learn. You don't need years of professional landscaping experience. If you've helped maintain acreage, mowed and landscaped properties, operated equipment, worked construction or outdoor jobs, or simply aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, we want to hear from you.

If you're the person who notices the broken fence, overgrown area, or irrigation problem before someone points it out—and believes your name should mean something when it's attached to your work—we should probably talk.

You don't need someone looking over your shoulder to do a good job.

You like working with your hands. You're comfortable around equipment—or you're motivated to learn. Dirt, weather, long days, and physical work don't scare you.

Maybe when you're not working, you'd rather be hunting, fishing, watching or playing sports, going to the races, working on your own projects, or spending time with your family than sitting behind a desk.

Most importantly, you want to work with people who share your mindset.

At Crown and across the Empire family of companies, we believe in Grit, Loyalty, Enjoying the Journey, Integrity, and a Positive Mindset. Those aren't just words we want hanging on a wall. They're the characteristics we want in the people working beside us.

There's variety here. One day you may be mowing, trimming, planting, or maintaining landscaped areas. Another day you could be repairing a fence, troubleshooting irrigation, clearing snow, cleaning up a property, or helping make an outdoor space look better than you found it.

You’ll have opportunities to:

• Operate mowing, trimming, landscaping, and groundskeeping equipment
• Maintain lawns, fields, landscaped areas, trees, shrubs, and flowers
• Plant, water, fertilize, prune, and care for landscaping
• Monitor irrigation systems and identify problems before they become bigger issues
• Repair fences, gates, irrigation components, and outdoor structures
• Maintain sidewalks, parking areas, drainage systems, and surrounding property
• Handle seasonal property maintenance, including snow and debris removal
• Safely apply fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides when needed
• Maintain tools and equipment so they're ready when the job needs to get done
• Help with property improvements and other hands‑on outdoor projects throughout Crown Co.

We're looking for someone who can see what needs to happen and take ownership of it.

Experience is great. Work ethic is better.

This is an entry‑level-friendly position
, and we're willing to teach the right person. Experience in landscaping, lawn care, grounds maintenance, equipment operation, construction, or other outdoor work is a plus, but it isn't the only thing we're looking at.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Take pride in doing things right, even when nobody is watching
• Want to learn new skills and become more valuable over time
• Can work independently without needing constant direction
• Know how to work hard while still enjoying the people you're working with
• Are comfortable…
