Landscape Apprentice Jobs in Riverside, CA (NOW HIRING)

Are you tired of doing the same basic landscaping or construction work every day?

At The Pond Digger, we build living water features: custom ponds, waterfalls, and aquatic ecosystems designed for koi, turtles, ducks, wildlife, and the people who enjoy them.

Every project is different. Our team combines excavation, rock placement, irrigation, landscaping, and construction skills to create outdoor spaces that people stop and stare at. At the end of a project, our crew can stand back and say, "We built that."

We are a family-run company growing our brand and our team in a big way. We are looking for dependable people who want to learn a specialized trade, develop their skills, and build a future with a strong team.

• $17–$23 per hour, based on experience and skill level

• Additional commission opportunities, with training provided
• 4-day work week with 10-hour shifts
• Consistent long weekends
• Company vehicles provided from headquarters to job sites

• 4 days per week, 10-hour shifts
• 6:00 AM–4:30 PM
• Report to our headquarters in Cherry Valley, then travel to job sites with the crew in company vehicles

• Install PVC irrigation components
• Assist with excavation, grading, and site preparation
• Perform hands-on outdoor construction work

This is more than a general labor position. We offer a clear path to develop your skills and advance:
