Lawn Health & Pest Technician – $20/hr + Benefits
Location: Plano, TX (75074) - Local Routes in Garland, Mesquite, Forney, Plano, Richardson, & East Dallas
Schedule: Monday–Friday (Occasional Saturdays)
Pay: $20-$22 per hour based on experience + Full Benefits + Weekly Paychecks
Village Green Lawn & Pest has served North Texas homeowners since 1980. We're a family-owned company based in Plano — and we're growing. This is a full-time field technician role servicing residential lawn care, pest control, and mosquito treatment routes across Garland, Mesquite, Forney, Plano, Richardson, and East Dallas. This is year-round outdoor work in North Texas — hot summers, cold winter mornings, and physically active days. We're direct about that upfront because the right candidate will see it as a feature, not a drawback. We welcome both entry-level applicants (we'll train the right person) and experienced technicians from lawn care, pest control, landscaping, or similar outdoor field roles. What we offer: $20-$22/hr, weekly paychecks, health insurance, paid holidays and vacation, 401(k) with company match, company truck, uniforms, and equipment — plus structured onboarding and a clear path to grow with a company that's been here for 46 years. Pay rate is determined by experience. A resume is required to be considered.
