Landscape Design & Sales

Landscape designers start as design assistants. Responsibilities typically include site measuring, base mapping, helping lead designers create and revise plans, and estimating. As you take on more responsibility, compensation increases.

Lead designers meet with clients and are responsible for designing and selling the project. They work closely with project managers to estimate, plan and build the landscapes to the highest standards.

Our hard-working crews take extreme pride in their work, and are a critical part of our success. The Crew Foreman and Project Manager are responsible for the day-to-day performance of the team.
