Landscape Gardener

Now Hiring!

Are you someone who enjoys working outside, doesn’t mind physical labor, enjoys doing something different everyday, and cares about the environment? So are we! Quintessential Gardens is a sustainable, organic residential land care company and we’re looking for some enthusiastic folks to join our crew. We range from fine gardening to installations and cover pretty much everything but the mowing.

What’s our goal? To provide beautiful gardens and landscapes that work with nature instead of against it.

What do we have to offer as a company?

*Amazing clients who have either been with the company from startup or several years running, with more inquiring every day
*Knowledgeable leaders who enjoy teaching our methods and watching others find the joy in our work
*Full and part time positions are available, from supervisory positions to assistants
*A balanced work-day starting at 8:30AM and ending at 4:30PM (partial shifts are available for part time positions)

So that’s a little about us, but what are we looking for in our potential crew members?

*Able to perform physical labor outside in all conditions, including rain, sun, heat or cold, humidity, and other adverse conditions for a full work day
*Able to work with a good compromise of efficiency and quality. We want to be detailed, but we also want to work at a good pace
*Able to lift and carry up to 40lbs of equipment or material
*Willing to work with a variety of small-engine machines including tillers, chainsaws, hedge-trimmers, and more
*Knowledgeable in landscaping and fine gardening, including transplanting, bed installation, mulching practices, and maintenance
*Knowledge in hardscaping, garden design, or proper pruning is a plus
*Able to be a good face of the company around clients and potential clients
*Able to work with others or alone, with strong directive in either situation
*Adaptable and able to switch gears if a project calls for it
*Willing to learn
*Driver’s license and reliable transportation are a must

If this sounds like the type of thing you’ve been waiting for, please reach out. We’re looking forward to the new season and having some great, new folks joining our crew.

*Full and part time positions available immediately.
*$18-20/hr and up based on experience. Monthly bonuses with good reviews.
