Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working at Virginia Green.

• Do I need lawn care experience to apply?
  Text

  No experience needed! Most of our Service Leaders start with zero lawn care experience. We provide comprehensive paid training, all equipment, uniforms, and tools. If you're willing to learn and enjoy working outdoors, we'll teach you everything you need to know. 

• What does a typical day look like for a Service Leader?
  Text

  You'll start at the branch each morning, load your truck with the day's materials, and head out on your route. A typical day involves treating 12–15 lawns, talking with homeowners about their lawn's progress, and returning to the branch by late afternoon. You're outdoors, independent, and making a visible difference every day.

• What training and certifications are provided?
  Text

  Virginia Green provides a comprehensive training program that includes classroom instruction, field training with experienced mentors, and ongoing education. We also pay for all required state certifications and licenses. Our 300-acre research farm gives you hands-on experience with the latest lawn care science.

• What are the physical requirements?
  Text

  Service Leaders need to be able to lift and carry up to 50 pounds, walk long distances throughout the day, and work in all weather conditions. A valid driver's license is required. The role is physically active but rewarding — you'll be in great shape!
