Build Backyards Worth Coming Home To

DeVries Design and Landscape is a custom design-build landscape company serving high-end residential clients in Indiana. The company specializes in transforming backyards into beautiful, functional outdoor spaces through personalized design, 3D planning, and high-quality construction. Their work includes patios, retaining walls, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, pool areas, and other custom backyard features.

DeVries Design and Landscape is looking for a skilled Hardscape Foreman to lead a crew of 2-3 and help bring custom outdoor living projects to life. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who takes pride in craftsmanship, enjoys solving problems in the field, and can keep projects moving with excellence from start to finish.

The ideal candidate is comfortable with paver patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and other hardscape installations, and can guide a team with clarity, accountability, and a servant-leadership mindset. Culture fit is just as important as technical skill. We want someone who leads well, works with integrity, and supports the team rather than simply directing it.

• Operate equipment and tools safely, including skid steers, excavators, concrete saws, and hand tools

• Uphold quality standards and identify issues before they become delays or rework
• Help solve field challenges with adaptability and strong judgment
• Represent the company well with clients through professionalism and respectful communication
• Support team morale by leading through example and stepping in where needed

Qualifications

• Prior hardscape or landscape construction experience required
• Strong knowledge of paver patios, retaining walls, fire pits, pergolas, landscape lighting, and planting installation

• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• Carpentry experience is helpful but not required
• Spanish language skills are a plus for communicating with crew members
• Valid driver's license and insurable driving record required
• Ability to reliably commute to the shop location each workday, as employees meet at the shop before traveling together to job sites. Candidates should be comfortable with a commute of up to approximately 1 hour.
• Relocation may be considered; however, relocation assistance is not provided.

Pay and Benefits

• Full-time. W-2 Employment
• Pay: $25.00 to $30.00 per hour, based on experience
