Build Your Career Outdoors with a Company That Works Year-Round

Home Grown Outdoor Finishes is an established landscaping and hardscaping company serving residential and commercial customers throughout the Lancaster and Harrisburg region. Our reputation is built on dependable service, quality workmanship, professionalism, and a commitment to doing things right.

We are looking for a motivated and dependable Landscape Maintenance & Laborer to join our field team. This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on work, takes pride in maintaining outdoor spaces, and wants to develop their skills with a professional landscaping company.

Unlike many seasonal landscaping positions, this is a year-round opportunity. When the landscaping season slows down, our crews remain employed by assisting with commercial snow removal, equipment upkeep, and facility maintenance.

Year-Round Employment - No Winter Layoffs

Unlike many landscaping companies that lay off employees when the season ends, Home Grown Outdoor Finishes provides stable, year-round employment. During the winter months, our team transitions from landscaping and maintenance work to commercial snow and ice removal, ensuring our employees continue working and earning throughout the year. We believe in investing in our people for the long term, not just for a season.

What You'll Be Doing

As part of our landscaping crew, you will help complete installation and maintenance projects while ensuring work is performed efficiently, safely, and to our quality standards.

Your daily duties will include:

• Completing routine landscape maintenance, including trimming, edging, and general property upkeep
• Installing mulch, plants, and other landscape materials
• Assisting with landscaping installations and outdoor improvement projects
• Operating and maintaining standard landscaping tools and powered equipment
• Supporting crew productivity and completing assigned work within established schedules
• Helping maintain organized, safe, and professional job sites
• Assisting with commercial snow and ice removal operations during the winter season, including plowing, shoveling, snow blowing, and salting
• Working flexible hours during snow events, including overnight, early-morning, weekend, and extended shifts when necessary
• Assisting with equipment and facility maintenance during slower periods

What We're Looking For

We value employees who show up ready to work, communicate clearly, and take responsibility for the quality of their work.

Qualifications and expectations:

• High school education
• Approximately 6-12 months of landscaping or outdoor work experience preferred
• Previous experience driving a pickup truck with an attached trailer is required
• Valid Pennsylvania driver's license and a clean driving record
• Dependable transportation to and from work
• Basic mathematical and measuring abilities
• Ability to understand project plans and work toward established production schedules
• Comfortable using a smartphone or similar device for work-related communication
• Physically capable of lifting more than 50 pounds and performing demanding outdoor tasks
• Willingness to work in a variety of weather conditions throughout the year
• Ability to successfully complete a background check following a conditional employment offer

Compensation & Employee Benefits

We believe reliable employees deserve consistent work, competitive pay, and benefits that support their long-term success.

Pay and employment

• $18 to $22 per hour, based on qualifications and experience
• Full-time, year-round W-2 employment
• Overtime opportunities

Time off and holidays

• 80 hours of paid vacation annually, increasing by 8 hours after the first year, up to a maximum of 120 hours after five years
