Landscape Maintenance & Outdoor Service Subcontractor

Nexacore
Cleveland, OH Contractor
POSTED ON 10/12/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/8/2027

We are building additional contractor coverage in the Cleveland area and reviewing landscaping and outdoor-property-service companies that have room for more customer work.

We are primarily interested in business owners, owner-operators, and existing crews that can independently complete project-based service requests.

This is a subcontractor relationship. It is not an hourly W-2 landscaping position.

Potential Project Categories

Customer requests may include:

  • Routine lawn and landscape maintenance
  • Mowing, edging, trimming, and blowing
  • Seasonal property cleanups
  • Leaf removal
  • Yard and outdoor debris cleanup
  • Shrub and hedge trimming
  • Mulch and bed preparation
  • Landscape planting
  • Sod installation
  • Irrigation service
  • Drainage and grading
  • Tree and limb cleanup
  • Storm-related property cleanup
  • Hardscape and exterior improvements
  • Snow removal and winter property service

Your company can participate in the categories that match your capabilities.

Contractor Flexibility

We review contractors based on:

  • Services performed
  • Areas covered
  • Pricing
  • Availability
  • Equipment
  • Crew size
  • Project capacity

You are not required to accept every project.

When a project matches your operation, you can review the scope and terms before deciding whether to take it.

Pay Structure

This is project-based compensation, not hourly pay.

Typical smaller completed jobs may range from approximately $200–$1,500, although actual compensation depends on the specific project.

Larger jobs involving landscape installation, tree work, grading, drainage, hardscape, site cleanup, or other significant scopes may pay substantially more.

There is no guaranteed number of jobs or guaranteed income.

What We Look For

Applicants should generally be able to provide:

  • Established landscaping or outdoor-service operation
  • EIN and completed W-9
  • Active general liability insurance
  • Reliable vehicle and transportation
  • Appropriate job equipment
  • Ability to manage accepted work independently
  • Dependable communication
  • Before/after photos and job documentation when required

Companies We Want to Hear From

This can be a fit for:

  • Lawn-care operators
  • Landscape-maintenance companies
  • General property-service contractors
  • Cleanup crews
  • Tree-service businesses
  • Irrigation contractors
  • Hardscape companies
  • Snow-removal contractors
  • Equipped owner-operators
