Landscape Construction Crew Member

Greenwise Organic Lawn Care is hiring for the Landscape Construction Crew Member position in Evanston and Chicagoland, IL. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Prepare sites and install assigned soil, plants, sod, mulch, edging, or landscape features to the approved plan. • Stage and handle plants, tools, and construction materials without damaging roots, finished work, or customer property. • Check layout, grade, drainage, irrigation, and finished detail with the crew lead throughout the project. • Prepare sites and install assigned plants, soil, mulch, drainage, garden, patio, walkway, or other landscape materials. • Use battery-powered or conventional hand and landscape equipment within training and protect roots, utilities, structures, and finished work. • Support layout, material staging, installation detail, and complete job-site cleanup throughout Chicagoland projects. How the work fits together Installation work proceeds through layout, site preparation, underground or irrigation work, soil and grade, plant or material placement, finish detail, and cleanup. Employees should understand what the next phase requires before closing the current one. Measurements and quality are checked throughout rather than left for a final punch list.
