• Performing routine lawn maintenance tasks, including mowing, edging, and trimming grass
• Pruning shrubs, bushes, and trees to maintain their health and appearance
• Maintaining flowers, shrubs, and other vegetation as needed
• Cleaning and maintaining equipment and tools

What to expect day-to-day:

A typical day for our crews starts at 6:00 AM. We work Monday – Friday, and an occasional Saturday if needed. The first few weeks of spring are six days a week (Sundays off) in order to get properties ready for the summer season - which means overtime pay (another benefit here at Lynch)! After getting the truck ready, the truck is typically on the road by 6:15 to the job site. This job requires a lot of daily physical exercise. If you love being outside and you want to get daily exercise, this will be a great job for you! Once our team is done for the day, they head back to the pit and fill their trucks for a great start the next day.

We take pride in our services. With hundreds of customers throughout the central Maine area, you have the opportunity to excel. Lynch Landscaping started fifteen years ago with two teenagers, a blazer, and a couple of lawns to care for. We now service all of central Maine, with a fleet of trucks and over 25 employees. This means there is an opportunity for you to grow with us and truly have a career.

Pay and Experience:

Pay is based on experience. We start anyone with no experience off at $16.00 an hour; the more experience, the higher the starting pay will be. Lynch Landscaping offers time and a half for any overtime. Most of our employees are working 50-55 hours a week which means they’re making 10-15 hours of overtime. There is always an opportunity to work more hours and make more money. You can essentially make as much a week as you’d like.
