If you love spending time outdoors and appreciate hands-on work—and if you want to make a difference in just an hour and see the results of your time and energy—then landscaping is a great career path. These reasons are why most landscape company owners got into the business in the first place.
Maybe you’ve worked a job that felt monotonous. Every day was the same-old. With landscaping, every property is different and presents various challenges and opportunities to make the space look better. No two days are alike.
Perhaps you’ve held a position that is in a cubicle-office environment and you are looking for a job that’s more active. You’ll definitely find satisfaction in landscaping, and we are very honest with prospective employees and let them know that landscape maintenance is hard work. You are out in the elements. Most people who choose a career in landscaping do so for that reason. They want to be outdoors, no matter what, and they feel great about a job well done at the end of the day.
Maybe you have skills in sales or customer service, but you’re looking to do this type of job in a different service industry than you’ve been employed in before—and landscaping sounds interesting!
