Employment With Delightful Gardens

Would You like to Join Our Landscaping Team?

Landscaping is demanding work, both because of its seasonal nature and of the physical demands involved.

For those who are up to the challenge, the sense of accomplishment which comes from building many different things as gardens are creating, and being a part of a top-notch work team is quite significant.

Being outside often can be freeing to the spirit and yet demanding on the body. Many people do not want to work as hard as is required to succeed in this profession.

Our standards for conduct and production are above average, so too are the variety of experiences. We perform a criminal background check and drug screening on all applicants before a job offer is made. A good driving record is a must for those with whom we will entrust vehicles.

Employees are never thrown into a situation to see if they sink or swim. Yet for those who have earned our trust and possess the necessary skills, independent functioning is a requirement.

We invite those of you who have a positive attitude towards life, good work ethic, and integrity to contact us for an interview. Job skills are a plus, and unlike character, they can be taught.
