High-End Garden Maintenance
This is not a mow, blow and go maintenance job.

What this role actually is
We're
Nest Landscape Design, Construction & Maintenance.
We design, build and maintain high-end residential landscapes across the Gold Coast.
Our maintenance team looks after established gardens that have been carefully designed, built and planted — and our job is to make sure they keep getting better.
We're looking for an experienced
Garden Maintenance
team member who understands that great garden maintenance is about a lot more than mowing lawns and trimming hedges.
You'll be trusted to understand the gardens you work in, notice what they need and take ownership of the result.
What you'll really be doing
You'll:
Maintain high-end residential gardens to an exceptional standard
Prune properly — understanding the plant, its form and how it should develop, rather than just cutting everything back
Keep lawns sharp through mowing, edging, fertilising and seasonal care




Identify weeds, pests, diseases and plant health issues
before they become bigger problems
Plant, mulch, improve soils and carry out general horticultural work
Check irrigation and identify issues when something isn't working as it should
Notice when a garden could be better and make recommendations rather than simply walking past it
Look after your tools, equipment and vehicle like they're your own
Leave every property clean, considered and looking better than when you arrived
Communicate confidently and professionally with our clients
Keep site notes, photos and job information up to date
Most importantly, you'll
care about the finished result
.
If something looks wrong, you notice it.
If a plant is struggling, you want to know why.
If something needs doing, you don't wait for someone else to point it out.
What this role is not
Not basic lawn mowing
Not a race to get through as many properties as possible
Not a role where someone will stand beside you telling you what to do all day
Not a job for someone who thinks "good enough" is good enough
We work on beautiful properties and our clients expect a high standard.
Who fits here
You'll do well if:
You genuinely know and enjoy plants and gardens




You have experience in
garden maintenance, landscaping or horticulture
You know how to prune properly
You have strong plant identification and horticultural knowledge
You notice the small details
You work efficiently without sacrificing quality
You're reliable, punctual and organised
You're comfortable working independently
You're professional around clients and their homes
You take pride in your tools, vehicle and work area
You don't need someone constantly checking your work
A
Certificate III in Horticulture
is highly regarded, but strong hands‐on experience and horticultural knowledge matter just as much.
A current driver's licence is essential, with the ability to drive a manual preferred.
ACDC chemical accreditation
is also highly regarded.
Why this is a positive place to work
We work 4 day weeks - Monday to Thursday
You'll maintain genuinely beautiful, high-end gardens
You're trusted to take ownership of your work
You're part of a landscape company that
designs, builds and maintains
its projects
You work with capable people who care about what they produce
Good work gets noticed
Working with a family owned and operated business
No corporate layers or politics
Opportunity to grow as our maintenance division grows
We take our landscapes seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.
