WM Gardens is looking for a highly experienced, hardworking and reliable Landscaper to join our growing team in Brisbane.
We are looking for someone with extensive hands-on experience across a broad range of landscaping and landscape construction works, who is confident working independently, operating equipment and completing projects to a high professional standard.
This is not an entry-level or junior landscaping position.
We are specifically looking for someone who has spent considerable time working in the landscaping industry, understands the trade thoroughly and can be trusted to undertake a variety of landscaping projects with minimal supervision.
As WM Gardens continues to expand, we are taking on increasingly larger landscaping projects and new contract work, including a growing number of artificial turf installation projects.
We need someone who is versatile, experienced and capable of working across all aspects of landscaping, from site preparation and earthworks through to construction, turf installation and final finishing.

You will be working alongside our team across a variety of residential and commercial landscaping projects throughout Brisbane.
Your responsibilities will include undertaking landscape construction works, operating landscaping equipment, preparing sites, installing turf, constructing retaining walls and completing general landscaping projects.
We are looking for someone who can be given a task, understand what needs to be done and complete the work efficiently and to a high standard without requiring constant supervision.
This is a physically demanding, hands-on position.
You must be comfortable working alongside the team and undertaking all aspects of landscaping work.

Installation of road base and crusher dust
Artificial turf measuring, cutting and positioning
Joining, seaming and securing artificial turf
Installation around garden beds, pathways and other obstacles
Finishing and presenting artificial turf installations to a professional standard
