High-end central Denver landscape and gardening firm seeks happy, positive, self-motivated, hard-working, focused team player for our INSTALL and GARDEN MAINTENANCE CREW. The candidate will work with 1-4 others, performing a wide variety of landscape maintenance and installation functions related to the care and upkeep of high-end residential and commercial properties.

Our clients rave about the quality and attitude of our team members. Several crew members have been with us more than 15 years. If you have a “can-do” attitude, take pride in your work and have great attention to detail, we can teach you the skills needed. The ability to go with the flow is mandatory in landscaping! We provide extensive training, akin to an apprentice program. Potential for a career here if you’re a good fit.

• Specialized skills such as installing irrigation and low-voltage lighting, building retaining walls, seat walls, laying walkways and patios (flagstone and paver), installing water features, sod and synthetic turf is a plus.
• Brickwork and/or concrete experience is a super plus!
• Communicate with Supervisor to ensure job and trucks are organized and fully stocked, equipment is fully operational and ready, and sufficient resources and materials are readily available so the project can keep moving forward smoothly.
• Perform other duties as required – pitching in to assist your team members, and going with the flow. Flexibility is key!
