Landscape Laborer / Installer
You show up, work steady, and care about the finished product. We teach the rest.
This is hard work outside, and it is the work that turns a yard into something people show off. If you want to run your own crew someday, this is how you learn it.
What you will do
- Load and stage materials on the job
- Cut, carry and set pavers, wall block and edging
- Dig, rake, grade and compact base
- Keep the site clean and safe as the job moves
- Learn layout and equipment from your crew leader
What we need
- Reliable attendance. The crew counts on you being there
- Able to lift 50 pounds and work outside in all weather
- Valid driver's license and a clean driving record
- Able to pass a drug test
- Willing to learn and take direction
No experience needed. If you have worked construction, mowing, farming or anything that had you outside and on your feet, tell Nick about it.
What a normal week looks like
Most days start at 7 and end around 5, and we are often off early on Fridays. It runs about 40 hours a week, depending on weather and workload. This is a seasonal position with no winter work, and there are options for income during the off season.
What you get
- Paid time during the season, with around 40 hours a week
- Training on skid steers, mini excavators, paver saws, transits and sod cutters
- Well-maintained trucks, trailers and equipment
- A path to crew leader for the right person
