Wall and Trail Builder

Build lasting landscapes with natural elements and seasoned craft

Build on your expertise in stone, timber, and earthwork while constructing projects that support urban land restoration with a company dedicated to ecological land care. Primary work includes stone walls, timber steps, access trails, gates and fences, stormwater features, and garden beds.

As part of a seasonal landscaping crew, your skillset will also be needed for garden installation, excavating, hauling, hardscape installation, and maintenance. Most projects are residential, with occasional institutional clients and public park improvements.

With projects lined up, you’ll get to work right away. Depending on the task, you’ll lead solo projects or collaborate with larger teams. Proficiency in some of the work described is required, but training or apprenticeship opportunities are available to expand your skills.

We typically work 4-day, 32-hour weeks, with the option for a 5th day and extended hours. Our team enjoys a respectful atmosphere, flexible time off, paid time off, and a healthcare stipend.

Lead Gardener

Transforming gardens through thoughtful design, planning and care

 

Bring your fine gardening and design expertise to a company focused on ecological land care. You’ll collaborate with customers and our team to design, install, and maintain a variety of gardens—including estate gardens, affordable landscapes, institutional settings, and restoration projects.

Your work will change with the seasons: winter months will focus on design and planning (which can be done remotely), while spring and summer will be hands-on with garden installations, seasonal care, and supporting other land care tasks like restoration and invasive species management.

Please submit a portfolio of work along with your resume. The portfolio should demonstrate your planning process and design skills. Multiple years of experience as a gardener is required, and apprenticeship or work with a fine gardening company is preferred.

We typically work 4-day, 32-hour weeks, with the option for a 5th day and extended hours. Our team enjoys a respectful atmosphere, flexible time off, paid time off, and a healthcare stipend.
