TruGreen is committed to setting the industry standard for education, training and certification of our specialists. First, we provide intensive on-going training series all for new specialists. The program covers a variety of agronomic, horticultural and safety related topics. Each new specialist is paired with a mentor who provides coaching. Our specialists must meet TruGreen’s rigorous TruExpertSM certification and state licensing standards to apply weed and pest control products. TruGreen also has technical managers — degreed horticulturists — in each market to provide additional local expertise.
