Job Overview and Responsibilities
Mossbrook is looking for a landscape maintenance gardener who will have the opportunity to lead and manage the monthly maintenance schedule. The season begins with tasks assisting the landscaping crew with spring clean ups. This includes plant cut backs, light tree and shrub pruning, weeding, edging, installation of mulch, and removal of leaves. As the season progresses, this position will entail servicing properties on a monthly and bi-monthly basis. The lead gardeners’ responsibilities include ensuring maintenance is performed in a timely manner. Maintenance services include weeding, deadheading, light pruning, removal of debris from landscape beds, monitoring plant health, and oversight that the landscape needs are met. Beginning in October through November, the landscape gardener typically assists the landscaping crew with fall clean ups which are very similar to spring clean ups. This role will report to the landscape foreman during spring and fall clean up and the landscape manager during the monthly maintenance schedule.
This is a physical and rewarding position with a lot of walking, bending, and lifting while being able to enjoy the outdoors and beautiful gardens.
