High-End Residential Landscape Construction

Fifth Season Landscapes is looking for a skilled Landscape Tradesman or Foreman to join our growing construction team.

We are an award-winning residential landscape design, construction and maintenance company, known for delivering high-end outdoor spaces across Sydney's North Shore and Northern Beaches.

Our projects are detailed, well-considered and built to a high standard. We work with great clients, strong designs and a team that genuinely cares about the end result.

This role would suit someone who is already working as a Foreman, Leading Hand or experienced Tradesman, or someone who is ready to take the next step into a leadership role.

About Us

Fifth Season Landscapes creates high-quality residential gardens and outdoor spaces that are designed, built and maintained with care.

Our work includes premium residential projects with detailed finishes, strong design intent and a focus on long-term quality. We take pride in producing beautiful, functional spaces that our clients love and that our team can be proud of.

We are a growing, award-winning company with a strong reputation for quality workmanship, clear communication and exceptional results.

You will be joining a team that values good people, good systems, strong communication and a high standard of work.

About the Role

This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on site leadership, communication and project delivery.

You will work closely with our Directors, Construction Admin team, subcontractors and site staff to help keep projects moving smoothly and ensure each project is delivered to the Fifth Season standard.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Leading and supporting a site team
• Helping organise daily site tasks and site priorities
• Communicating clearly with the office regarding progress, upcoming works and site requirements
• Reporting on labour, materials, subcontractor attendance and site conditions
• Assisting with project sequencing and day-to-day planning
• Reading and working from plans, drawings and project documentation
• Coordinating subcontractors and suppliers on site
• Identifying delays, variations or site concerns early
• Maintaining a clean, organised and safe site
• Supporting apprentices and labourers with direction
• Ensuring works are completed to a high standard

This is not just a labouring role. We are looking for someone who can take ownership, communicate well and help lead the successful delivery of detailed residential landscape projects.

About You

You may already be a Landscape Foreman, Leading Hand or experienced Tradesman. Alternatively, you may be a strong tradesman ready to grow into more responsibility.

Ideally, you will have:

Current Australian work rights are required for this position.

• Experience in residential landscape construction
• Minimum of 3-4 years of residential landscape construction experience
• Strong practical landscape construction skills
• Demonstrated expertise in irrigation systems, paving/stonework, retaining walls, plant installation, earthworks/excavation, and concrete work
• Confidence reading plans and understanding project details
• Ability to lead by example on site
• A proactive approach to problem solving
• Good organisation and time management
• Strong attention to detail
• A positive attitude and willingness to work with both site and office teams
• Current driver's licence and reliable transport
• White Card

A formal landscape qualification would be highly regarded, but we are also open to speaking with experienced tradesmen who have the right attitude, skillset and leadership potential.

What We Offer

• Full-time role with consistent work
• Opportunity to step into or grow into a Foreman position
• Award-winning residential landscape projects
• High-end work across the North Shore and Northern Beaches
• Supportive Directors and office team
• Clear communication and project support
• Strong team culture
• Career progression within a growing business
• Competitive hourly rate based on experience
• The opportunity to build projects you can genuinely be proud of

Why Join Fifth Season?

At Fifth Season, we care about the details.

We do not just build gardens we create considered outdoor spaces with strong design, quality finishes and lasting impact.

Our team is proud of the work we produce, and we are looking for someone who wants to be part of that. If you are motivated, skilled and ready to take ownership on site, this could be a great next step.
