Experienced Landscape Construction Laborer

High-End Design-Build Firm | Bellevue, WA

$25–$30/hr + Up to $7–$8/hr Performance Bonuses

Translation: Top performers can earn $37–$38/hr | Full Benefits

Here’s The Deal

Alderwood Landscaping isn't your typical landscape company. We don't touch mowers. We build custom outdoor living spaces that belong in magazines—think cascading waterfalls, stone fire pits, chef-grade outdoor kitchens, and patios that cost more than most cars.

Our clients are high-end homeowners across the Pacific Northwest who want the best. That's where you come in.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Operating excavators and skid steers (not just watching someone else do it).
• Installing premium hardscapes, water features, retaining walls, and rockeries.
• Working directly under a Site Manager—leading and motivating your crew.
• Reading plans, setting grades, and keeping sites tight and professional.
• Building projects you'll actually want to show your friends.

What We Need From You

• 3+ years landscape construction experience (you know the difference between a compactor and a jackhammer).
• Heavy equipment skills—excavators, skid steers, etc.
• Valid driver's license + reliable transportation.
• The grit to work outdoors year-round (yes, even in Seattle winters).
• Leadership potential and a no-drama attitude.
• Bilingual? Huge plus.

What’s In It For You

• $25–$30+/hr base (experience pays).
• Performance incentives up to $7–$8/hr extra.
• Full benefits after 90 days: Health, Dental, Vision.
• 401(k) + Free Life Insurance.
• Paid Time Off.
• Real career growth—prove yourself, become a Foreman.
• Work on projects that actually matter (not just another hedge trim).

Drug-free workplace. Background checks required.

Let’s build something you’ll be proud of.
