If you enjoy working outside and staying active, this job is for you. We’re looking for reliable people to join our landscaping laborer team. You don’t need any experience—we’ll teach you everything you need to know, like how to mow lawns, trim bushes, and spread mulch. Just bring a good attitude and be ready to learn.

What You’ll Do:

• Working outdoors in all kinds of weather (yes, even the good kind).
• Mowing, trimming, planting, and maintaining commercial landscapes.
• Using cool tools like leaf blowers, weed whackers, and ride-on mowers.
• Helping with cleanup and basic maintenance tasks.

A Day in the Life of a Landscaping Crew Member:

• Start your day by checking in in your supervisor and your team members.
• Review the day’s assignments, and load up the truck with the tools and equipment you’ll need.
• Once you arrive at your assigned location, you’ll jump into action by:
  • Mowing large lawn areas, edging sidewalks and driveways, and trimming around trees, fences, and other hard-to-reach spots.
• Next, you’ll focus on landscaping tasks like:
  • Weeding flowerbeds, pruning shrubs and small trees, laying mulch, or planting seasonal flowers.
• As you wrap up the job site, you’ll blow off walkways, clear any debris, and make sure everything looks polished.
• You’ll reload tools, clean up the work area, and communicate any site notes or equipment issues to your crew leader.
• Once the team arrives back to the office, you’ll help unload, clean up, and prep for the next day.

What You’ll Need:

• Follows safety rules and wears proper protective gear at all times.
• Works well with others and listens to instructions.
• Takes pride in doing quality work and getting it right the first time.
• Open to learning new tasks and improving skills.
• Brings a positive attitude and shows up ready to contribute.
• This role requires passing a security clearance and maintaining it throughout your employment.

Why You’ll Love This Job:

• Be part of a team that appreciates your hard work and helps you grow.
• Get support from our Employee Wellness Coordinator.
• Work outside in the fresh air and sunshine—no desk required.
• See the difference you make every day by creating and maintaining beautiful landscapes.
• Learn how to use professional landscaping tools and techniques.
• Grow your career—many of our team members move up and take on new roles.
• Stay active and fit while you work—who needs a gym when your job keeps you moving?
