About the Role
We're looking for someone with at least
2 years' experience in high-end residential garden maintenance
who enjoys working with plants, takes pride in the finer details and understands the care that goes into maintaining a garden to a high standard.
Some days you'll work alongside the wider team, other days with one other horticulturist, and there will also be opportunities to run your own day and look after clients independently.
A big part of what we do is building relationships with our clients. We want someone who is comfortable having a conversation, listening to what a client wants from their garden and using their horticultural knowledge to help achieve it.
We'd Love to Hear From You If You Have

Good horticultural and plant knowledge
Full working rights in Australia
Experience with pruning, hedging and general garden maintenance
Experience with soft scaping, mulch install, turf install and plant installation
Basic Irrigation knowledge and problem solving skills
A positive eye for detail and pride in your work
The ability to confidently work independently when required
The ability to work well within a small team
Good communication and people skills
A friendly and professional approach with clients
A current Australian driver's licence
The ability to obtain a Working With Children Check
A horticultural qualification is highly regarded, although we also value practical experience, knowledge and a willingness for continued learning.
Hours & Location
Monday – Friday
7:30am – 4:00pm
Our depot is based in
Briar Hill
. You won't need to start there every day, as we often meet directly at job sites, however there will be days when starting or finishing at the depot is required.

A Little About Us
Leaf by Leaf is a Melbourne-based horticultural garden maintenance business specialising in high-end residential gardens.
We're proud to have received the
Landscape Victoria Gold Award for Maintenance & Management
, but just as importantly, we're proud of the gardens we look after and the relationships we've built with our clients.
We're a close-knit team and want to keep that feeling as the business grows. We're looking for someone who enjoys being part of a team, is comfortable working independently, brings a positive attitude to work and genuinely enjoys horticulture and landscapes.
For the right person, there is plenty of opportunity to take ownership of their work, build relationships with clients and grow with the business.
This job will suit someone fit healthy and that has the ability to lift a lawn mower onto a ute by them selves.
If this sounds like the type of role and team you've been looking for, we'd love to hear from you.
