Experienced Gardener – Ballarat

Good Pay | Quality Gear | Steady Work | Genuine Respect | No Egos

If you can look at an overgrown garden and already see the finished job, keep reading.

I MOW 4 U is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced gardener who knows how to do more than simply push a mower around.

You know how to shape a hedge properly, prune with purpose, bring a neglected garden back under control and leave a property looking noticeably better than when you arrived.

We’ll give you the right equipment, realistic expectations and the freedom to use your experience. In return, we’re looking for someone who takes genuine pride in their work and can be relied upon to maintain a high standard.

No chaos. No egos. No half-jobs.

What you’ll be doing

Our work includes:

• Garden maintenance and property tidy-ups
• Hedging and detailed pruning
• Mowing, edging and line trimming
• Weed control and spraying
• Mulching and garden-bed maintenance
• Green-waste removal
• Larger garden clean-ups and makeovers

We work across Ballarat for private homeowners, NDIS participants and aged-care clients. Some days you’ll work independently and others alongside the crew—but the standard stays the same.

What we’re looking for

This position is for someone with proven, hands-on gardening or landscape-maintenance experience.

You’ll need to:

• Be confident using commercial mowing and gardening equipment
• Know how to hedge neatly and prune plants correctly
• Work efficiently without sacrificing quality
• Assess a garden and understand what needs to be done
• Work independently without needing every step explained
• Communicate respectfully with clients and teammates
• Be reliable, honest and willing to take responsibility
• Have a current driver’s licence and reliable transport to work
• Hold, or be willing to obtain, a police check

Plant knowledge, chemical-use accreditation, leadership experience or horticultural qualifications would be highly regarded—but practical ability and the quality of your work matter most.

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive hourly rate based on your proven skills, efficiency and responsibility
• Quality tools, safety equipment and uniforms supplied
• Work vehicles supplied during the day
• Casual commencement with the opportunity to move into steady full-time employment
• Overtime and additional hours available
• A workplace where your experience and ideas are taken seriously
• Good banter, team catch-ups and absolutely no room for egos
• Genuine opportunities to progress as the business grows

There's room to grow—but no pressure to become something you’re not

If you enjoy working on the tools and simply want a stable job with a good crew, that’s completely fine.

If you’re interested in stepping up, we promote from within and can offer pathways into:

• Lead hand and crew leader positions
• Quoting and job planning
• Client communication
• Training and mentoring newer team members
• Increased responsibility and earning potential

A little about us

We’re a growing, locally owned Ballarat business built on doing what we say we’ll do.

We look after people’s properties as though they were our own, treat our clients and employees with respect, and take pride in leaving every job properly finished.

We work hard, have a laugh and back one another—but when it comes to quality, we don’t cut corners.
