• Install, maintain, and repair both hardscapes (paths, patios, retaining walls) and softscapes (gardens, trees, lawns)
• Support snow removal and ice control during winter months
• Contribute to landscape planning and design projects
• Operate equipment safely and assist with daily maintenance and minor mechanical upkeep

What You Will Bring

• Diploma in horticulture or a related field
• At least two years of hands‑on horticulture experience
