Love being outdoors? Into plants, gardens and working with your hands? Build a career doing work you can be proud of.
Definition Landscape & Design is looking for a motivated Landscape Gardener to join our growing maintenance team.
Whether you’re an experienced gardener ready to take the next step, or looking to start or continue a Certificate III in Parks & Gardens apprenticeship, we’d like to hear from you.
You’ll work on high-quality residential gardens across Brisbane, developing practical skills across horticulture, irrigation, lawn care and garden maintenance, with the opportunity to take on greater responsibility as you develop.
We’re not just mowing lawns. We look after established residential gardens that require knowledge, attention to detail and the right care throughout the year.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Work across high-quality residential gardens throughout Brisbane
- Develop your knowledge of plants, pruning, irrigation, lawn care and plant health
- Work across a variety of gardens with different challenges each day
- Learn from experienced landscapers and horticultural professionals
- Develop into a more independent role with greater responsibility over time
- Have your uniform, PPE, tools and equipment provided
Whether you’re already qualified or starting out, we’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and wants to keep improving.
Your work will include:
- Pruning, hedging and shaping plants
- Garden maintenance and weed control
- Plant health, fertilising and soil improvement
- Lawn mowing, edging, care and renovation
- Inspecting, adjusting and repairing irrigation systems
- Mulching, planting and garden improvements
- Identifying plant health, pest and irrigation issues
- Keeping properties clean, tidy and presentable
- Communicating professionally with clients
Over time, we want you to develop the knowledge to look beyond the task in front of you — understanding what each garden needs and proactively identifying opportunities to improve it.
You don’t need to know everything from day one, particularly if you’re applying as an apprentice. Attitude, reliability and a genuine interest in horticulture are important to us.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has a genuine interest in plants, gardens and horticulture
- Takes pride in doing a job properly and pays attention to detail
- Is reliable, motivated and keen to learn
- Can work independently and as part of a small team
- Communicates well and treats clients and their properties with respect
- Holds a current manual driver’s licence
- Has full Australian working rights
- Holds a Construction White Card, or is willing to obtain one
Previous gardening or landscaping experience is an advantage but isn’t essential for the right apprentice.
For experienced applicants, a Certificate III in Parks & Gardens or equivalent horticultural qualification will be highly regarded.
Established in 2009, Definition Landscape & Design is a Brisbane-based company specialising in high-end residential landscapes.
Our team of 12 works across landscape design, construction and maintenance. Our maintenance division cares for a growing portfolio of established residential gardens, including many originally designed and built by our own team.
We’re proud of the quality of our work and want people who share that pride.
- Full-time Monday–Friday employment
- Competitive pay based on experience and qualifications
- Certificate III apprenticeship and training pathway for the right candidate
- Consistent, ongoing work
- Uniform, PPE, tools and equipment provided
- Hands‑on training across horticulture, irrigation and lawn care
- Variety across high-quality residential gardens
- Opportunity to develop your skills and take greater ownership of your work
- Long-term career opportunities within a growing maintenance division
If you enjoy working outdoors, want to develop practical skills and take pride in maintaining great gardens, we’d love to hear from you.
