During the active season, roughly March through November, crew members can typically expect around 35–50 hours per week depending on workload, weather, scheduling, and company needs.
Crews normally begin from our Houston 77044 shop. Applicants must be able to reliably arrive around 6:45 AM when scheduled.
December, January, and February are typically our slowest field-production months. Hours may range from 0–20 hours per week , including possible weeks with no work available.
We are upfront about this because we want seasonal employees to be able to plan accordingly.
Strong prior seasonal performers may receive priority consideration as spring production ramps up again around February 20, depending on performance, availability, workload, and company need.
The typical starting range for the positions we are currently targeting is $17–$22 per hour.
Exact placement depends on verified professional experience, demonstrated lawn and landscape skill, production ability, equipment and driving skill, advanced capabilities, and the responsibility you can handle.
Evergreen also has a career ladder, so employees can grow as their skill, consistency, responsibility, and leadership increase.
Experience is strongly preferred for our current opening. We are primarily looking for experienced Junior+ candidates and above who already understand professional lawn care and basic landscape work.
However, we do not automatically reject every developing or entry-level applicant. A highly dependable person with strong work ethic, professionalism, physical ability, and a serious willingness to learn may still be worth considering.
A valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and the ability to perform outdoor physical work are required.
Once you apply, our team reviews your experience and availability. Strong candidates may receive a short phone screening followed by an in-person interview.
Candidates who continue may also be invited to a hands-on skills assessment. The goal is simple: verify real ability rather than hiring solely from what someone says on an application.
From there, Evergreen determines whether there is a good fit, which role is appropriate, and the corresponding starting compensation.
The Evergreen Promise
We didn’t invent this growth path on a whiteboard. Jeffrey and I lived it by doing the hard work ourselves, learning the equipment, raising our standards, solving problems in the field, and taking on more responsibility.
That same opportunity exists here. If you already know the trade, there is room to put that experience to use. If you are still developing, there is room to grow when you prove that the team can count on you.
We are not looking for perfect people. We are looking for people who respect the work, respect the crew, take pride in what they leave behind, and want to keep getting better.
