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.

Job description

Landscape & Construction Estimator - Residential & Commercial
McDugald Steele is seeking a Landscape Construction Estimator to join our growing team in Houston. This position offers the opportunity to work on highly detailed residential and commercial landscape projects involving landscape design, construction, hardscape, irrigation, drainage, lighting, planting, pools and fountains, site development, and pre-construction coordination executed at a high level.
The Estimator plays a critical role in the pre-construction process by supporting project planning, pricing, budgeting, and coordination. While the position includes technical estimating and construction document review, this is not strictly a desk-based role. The Estimator participates in site visits, field verifications, attending meetings with subcontractors and vendors, as well as material selection coordination throughout the entire project planning process.
This role is ideal for an organized and detail-oriented professional who enjoys both office and field involvement while contributing to the successful execution of complex landscape projects.
Candidates should possess strong computer proficiency, the ability to read and interpret landscape construction plans and specifications, and a solid understanding of construction materials and estimating processes. The position offers long-term growth opportunities within a collaborative and design-driven environment focused on quality, professionalism, and technical excellence.
Key Responsibilities
  • Prepare detailed cost estimates for residential and commercial landscape design-build projects
  • Read and interpret landscape construction drawings, specifications, and project documents
  • Perform quantity takeoffs for landscape, hardscape, irrigation, drainage, lighting, pools and fountains.
  • Coordinate and confirm pricing with vendors, suppliers, and subcontractors
  • Assist with budgeting, proposal preparation, and bid development
  • Support landscape architects and construction teams during pre-construction planning and throughout construction.
  • Track material pricing and market fluctuations
  • Maintain organized estimating records, spreadsheets, and documentation
  • Communicate with internal teams to support project accuracy, scheduling, and project coordination

What Sets This Role Apart
  • Opportunity to work on some of Houston's most distinguished residential estates
  • Work alongside a team of highly skilled landscape architects and experienced construction professionals
  • This position is not limited to office-based estimating and includes site visits, field verifications, meetings with subcontractors and vendors, and participation in material selection and specification throughout the design-build process
  • Be part of a collaborative team that partners with some of Houston's leading luxury design and construction professionals
  • Direct involvement in the design-build project lifecycle from initial field mobilization through construction completion
  • Be a part of company traditions and team gatherings, including the spring appreciation picnic, holiday events and monthly birthday celebrations

Company Benefits
  • Competitive salary
  • 401(k) retirement program
  • Medical and dental coverage with employer contribution and HSA program options
  • Life and disability insurance programs
  • $15,000 employer-sponsored life insurance policy
  • Company-issued cell phone
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • Continuing education support
  • Professional development and licensure reimbursement related to the field of employment
  • Complimentary membership in select local and national professional design organizations supported by the company
  • Discounts with select local suppliers and industry partners
  • Vehicle mileage reimbursement
  • Reimbursement for company - approved expenses

  • Experience in construction estimating, landscape construction, or related fields
  • Experience in high-end residential landscape construction
  • Strong ability to read and interpret landscape construction documents and specifications
  • Strong computer proficiency, including Microsoft Office, Smartsheet, Adobe, estimating software, and digital project management platforms
  • Knowledge of landscape materials, irrigation systems, drainage, lighting, and hardscape construction
  • Experience coordinating with subcontractors and vendor procurement
  • Familiarity with construction scheduling and budgeting processes
  • Strong organizational, analytical, and time management skills
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously
  • Strong communication and coordination skills
