Work for the crew in the blue shirts.
Colonial Lawn & Garden invites people who want to work alongside lawn-care professionals to apply. The company describes its shop as goal-focused and performance-driven, fast-paced and fun, and it hires for work that runs from the Yakima valley down to the Tri-Cities.

The work, by title
Four kinds of work on the Colonial roster.
This is what the roster and the service pages describe, not a list of open positions. Call or email either office to ask what is open.
See the roster- 01
Lawn care and spray technicians
Fertilizer and weed-control applications, grub and insect control, and perimeter pest spraying around foundations, eaves and doors. Colonial lists lawn care technicians in both Yakima and the Tri-Cities, and prints a WSDA applicator licence number beside several of them.
- 02
Irrigation
Spring start-up, the seven system checks through the season and fall winterization, with sprinkler repair and installation listed among the additional services.
- 03
Maintenance crews
Mowing, edging, shrub trimming and aeration for homes and commercial properties. Colonial also services customers' lawn and snow equipment from November through February.
- 04
Office and client services
Office management, accounts receivable, executive assistance, client services and sales, split across the Yakima and Tri-Cities offices. These are the people who answer when a customer calls.
The uniform
The shirt is part of the job.
Colonial has put its crews in matching uniforms since the first season in 1985: green shirts and hats at first, then blue button-downs, with charcoal pants added later. As Lawn & Landscape reported in 2015, lawn care and spray crews wear long sleeves, and maintenance crews wear short sleeves unless they are pruning.
“Internally, I think it gives us a sense of team. We’re all on the same team; we’re all wearing the same uniforms.”
Lance Forsee, president · Lawn & Landscape, December 2, 2015
In 2015 the in-season crew ran 25 to 35 people. The story behind the blue is on the about page.
