The work can be very physically strenuous, it is beneficial if you are able to tolerate lifting 50-100lbs often. Machines can be used whenever the job permits. Most days will require digging, lifting, and bending. This job will require a high level physical endurance and ability to work through heat, cold, and occasional rain.

Ideally, if you enjoy the work and are interested in landscaping this could be a great opportunity to help a company grow and be a part of that process.

The company has an emphasis on high quality work. You will be asked to perform landscape tasks to a very high quality level. This will be assessed and critiqued upon starting. As time goes on you will eventually be working with minimal supervision throughout the day.

Longer hours may be available if you are willing to work more. Due to the companies’ size, we currently do not offer higher pay for overtime hours. You will be paid as a private contractor and therefore will receive a 1099NEC at the end of the year. The company does not currently offer any benefits.

Pay will range from $20-25 per hour to start. Pay raises may be available depending upon performance and long term interest.

If you have other friends, colleagues, or family that work in the field, we would be interested in hiring people that KNOW each other and enjoy working together.
