Job description

Landscape Installation Foreman

Full-Time | Monday–Friday | Charleston, SC

Pay: $25–$30/hour (DOE)

Lead the crew that bring Charleston’s finest landscapes to life.

At Brownswood Nursery, an installation foreman isn’t just running a crew—you’re the person who ensures every project is delivered with the craftsmanship and white-glove service our clients expect. You take a landscape from plan to planting, and you take pride in the details that separate good work from exceptional work.

You’re a natural leader who earns respect on the jobsite. Clients trust you because you communicate clearly, anticipate their needs, and treat their property like it’s your own. Your crew follows you because you’re organized, fair, and set the standard for quality and safety. And you’d take a day working outside over a desk any time of year.
