Job description

Clean Scapes is the largest commercial landscaping company in Texas, known for our exceptional, award-winning projects. We partner with many of the world's leading brands and take pride in the quality, character, and work ethic of our people. Our teams enjoy building, creating, and working outdoors while delivering high-quality results from start to finish.
Do you enjoy hands-on work, being part of a team, and seeing the results of a hard day's effort? Clean Scapes may be the perfect place for you.
Clean Scapes is hiring Tree Care Groundsmen to support our growing Arbor Division. Groundsmen play a critical role on the jobsite by supporting climbers and equipment operators, maintaining safe work zones, and keeping production moving efficiently.
This position offers a clear path for advancement into climbing, equipment operation, plant health care (PHC), or crew leadership roles.
What You'll Do
  • Drag brush, handle debris, and support jobsite cleanup
  • Feed and monitor the chipper under direction of the crew leader
  • Use hand tools, blowers, saws, and other ground-based equipment
  • Set up and maintain safe, organized work zones with cones and signage
  • Communicate clearly with climbers and crew leaders
  • Assist with rigging support from the ground
  • Participate in daily safety briefings and hazard assessments
  • Follow all safety procedures and wear required PPE at all times

Entry-Level Groundsman
  • Learning tree care operations, tools, and safety procedures
  • Supporting production and cleanup under supervision

Intermediate Groundsman
  • Working independently on ground operations
  • Assisting with rigging support and jobsite organization
  • Supporting and mentoring newer team members

Advanced Groundsman / Ground Lead
  • Leading ground operations on site
  • Supporting crew leadership with safety, communication, and production flow
  • Mentoring and training entry-level groundsmen

What We're Looking For
  • Strong work ethic and willingness to learn
  • Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work outdoors in all weather conditions
  • Good communication and teamwork skills
  • Commitment to safety and professionalism
  • Prior landscaping or tree care experience is a plus, but not required

What We Offer
  • Competitive pay based on experience and skill level
  • Full-time, year-round work
  • Clear career advancement paths within the Arbor Division
  • Training, mentorship, and skill development
  • Strong safety culture and supportive team environment
