Landscape Construction information

What is landscape construction?

A Landscape Construction job involves building and installing outdoor spaces, such as gardens, patios, walkways, retaining walls, and irrigation systems. Workers in this field use a combination of hardscaping (stone, wood, or concrete structures) and softscaping (plants, trees, and turf) to create functional and aesthetically pleasing landscapes. They may work for landscaping companies, contractors, or as independent professionals. The job requires physical labor, knowledge of construction techniques, and an understanding of site preparation and drainage.

What are the typical daily responsibilities in landscape construction?

Landscape construction professionals usually start their day by reviewing project plans, preparing sites, and setting up necessary equipment and materials. Daily tasks often include grading terrain, installing hardscapes like patios and retaining walls, planting trees or shrubs, laying irrigation systems, and ensuring everything meets design specifications. Team coordination is key, as crews often collaborate closely to complete projects on time. You may also need to interact with clients or project managers to address questions and handle any on-site changes or challenges. The role can be physically demanding but offers the satisfaction of transforming outdoor spaces from concept to reality.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in landscape construction?

To thrive in Landscape Construction, you typically need experience in landscaping techniques, ability to read blueprints, and knowledge of horticulture, construction safety, and site preparation. Familiarity with industry-standard tools and equipment such as skid steers, excavators, and laser levels, as well as certifications like OSHA safety training or a landscape certification, are often required. Strong teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills help you collaborate effectively with crews and clients while adapting to changing site conditions. These combined skills are crucial for building durable, visually appealing landscapes efficiently and safely.

Do landscape construction make good money?

Landscape construction professionals can earn a wide range of wages depending on experience, location, and skill level. Entry-level workers may start with lower pay, while experienced crews or those with specialized skills can earn higher wages, often supplemented by overtime and seasonal work. Certification and proficiency with tools like excavation equipment can also impact earning potential.

Landscape Construction Crew Lead / Field Supervisor

Full-time Year-round Competitive compensation + $5,000 signing bonus

Do you take genuine satisfaction in watching a well-planned outdoor space come together - and in knowing your crew did the work right? We're looking for a hands-on field leader who brings both technical depth and the kind of steady presence that makes a team perform at its best.

Our Company specializes in high-end residential and commercial landscape construction - the kind of work where precision and craft actually matter. We maintain a professional, supportive workplace and invest meaningfully in the people who help us do great work.

Crew leadership

Direct and support teams of 2-5, building skills and keeping standards high on every site.

Hardscape construction

Lead installation of retaining walls, paving stone patios, pathways, steps, and structural elements.

Site coordination

Manage daily operations, materials sequencing, scheduling, and progress reporting.

You'll also read and execute design plans accurately, operate and oversee equipment (skid steers, mini excavators, loaders, sod cutters), conduct regular site inspections, ensure safety compliance, and collaborate directly with the design and management teams to keep projects on time and on standard.


Compensation and benefits

  • Full health and dental coverage
  • Company vehicle and fuel card
  • Performance bonus at year-end
  • Paid training and development
  • Defined paths for advancement
  • Golf membership and other perks
  • Salary commensurate with experience
  • $5,000 signing bonus after 8 months

What we're looking for
Experience:

5+ years in landscape construction; 3+ years supervising crews in a field leadership role

Technical skills:

Proven hardscape expertise (retaining walls, paving stones); confident operating skid steers and mini excavators

Licensing:

Valid Class 5 driver's license with a clean abstract (Class 1 or 3 a plus)

Certifications:

CSTS 2020 and Standard First Aid required; Leadership for Safety Excellence is a strong asset

Physical requirements:

Able to manage physically demanding outdoor work and lift 50+ lbs; flexible with hours as projects require

Eligibility:

Must be legally authorized to work in Canada
