Jobbeschreibung

Job Title: Landscape Construction Foreman (Hardscape)

Location: Akron, OH

Pay rate: $65,000 - $85,000/year

Overview:

Lead $300K-$600K outdoor living builds for a 40+ year design-build leader that runs its own supply operation under the same roof. No chasing materials across town. Just you, your crew, and a job built right.

What You'll Do:

• Run 1-2 projects at a time, typically $300K-$600K in scope and 2-6 months long, with occasional smaller jobs around $50K
• Lead a 3-person crew on mostly hardscape work (about 80% hardscape, 20% softscape), and jump in hands‑on when the job calls for it
• Build patios, paver walkways and driveways, retaining walls (stone, block, and tiered), natural stone and flagstone masonry, steps, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, stone fireplaces, pergolas, pavilions, water features, custom pools, and sports courts
• Oversee softscape installs including garden and raised beds, rock gardens, shrub design, tree planting, mulching, seeding, hydroseeding, and seasonal plantings
• Own the job: client communication, material ordering, crew scheduling, and subcontractor coordination
• Run skid steers and mini excavators to keep production moving
• Adjust the plan in real time as weather, site conditions, and client requests change
• Work with the Operations Supervisor and company President on scheduling, priorities, and job execution
• Track and plan work in Excel while the company rolls out new scheduling software

Why This Role Stands Out:

• In‑house supply operation in the same building, so materials are ready when you are
• Large, high‑craft projects, about 70% residential and 30% commercial
• Year‑round work with no snow removal
• Most jobs within 20‑30 miles of the home base, with no overnight travel
• A close‑knit team rebuilt around strong craftsmanship and accountability
• A real growth path as the company scales

Compensation & Perks:

• $65,000-$85,000 base salary, based on experience; the top of the range goes to foremen with strong hardscape and softscape knowledge who can plan, schedule, and motivate a crew
• Full‑time schedule, 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM
• 100% onsite: start at the shop each morning, then head to the job site
• Company vehicle for job use during the workday
• Health insurance reimbursement of $200-$300/month toward an individual policy, plus a dedicated insurance agent to help you pick your plan
• 401(k) with a 4% company match, eligible after 1 year
• PTO: 3 days in year one, rising to 2 weeks after 3 years
• Holidays: a two‑week break over Christmas and New Year's, plus Thanksgiving and Memorial Day
• Growth: more leadership responsibility and added incentives as the company doubles its team
• Fast hiring process: an intro call with the President, then an in‑person meeting (strong candidates may go straight to in‑person)

A Little About the Company:

Over 40 years in business, built on urgency, follow‑through, and taking care of both clients and the team

Full‑service design, build, and maintenance across Northeast Ohio

Portfolio ranges from luxury residential backyards to commercial sites and select public‑sector projects

Requirements:

• 3-5 years of hardscape or landscape construction experience
• 2+ years as a foreman or crew lead running crews of 3 or more
• Background with a design‑build landscape company, hardscape contractor, or outdoor living builder
• Comfortable operating skid steers and mini excavators
• Hands‑on installation experience (this is not a maintenance or mowing role)
• A high sense of urgency and the ability to stay on top of daily changes in weather, site conditions, and client needs
• Strong planning, scheduling, and crew leadership skills

Nice to Have:

• Experience with construction or field scheduling software
