landscape laborer

Our landscape laborers perform the following duties. In the early part of the season, they perform clean-up work with rakes, chain saws, tarps, and shovels; they spread mulch using shovels, rakes, wheel barrows, and blowers. When the weather is warm enough, they plant trees, shrubs, and flowers and water them in using shovels, picks, rakes, wheel barrows, hoses, and watering cans. Then, when the grass starts to grow, they mow and trim grass using mowers, line trimmers, edgers, and blowers. Throughout the growing season, they will lay sod, haul topsoil, smooth out uneven terrain, trim trees and bushes, clean up leaves and other debris, fertilize lawns, and pull weeds, using rakes, wheel barrows, rototillers, pruners, shovels, and other hand tools. As the season comes to a close, the mowing slows down and the work shifts to Fall clean ups which consists mostly of raking leaves and other debris. These duties are performed for both our residential and commercial clients.
