Lead the Crew. Build the Showpieces. Get Paid $24-$26 per hour.
We are hiring two experienced Landscape Foremen for a premier high-end residential landscape company in the Afton, Minnesota. This isn’t mowing and blowing. You’ll lead your own crew on custom hardscape and softscape installs: natural stone walls, boulder walls, patios, and walkways for clients who expect it done right.
If you know how to read a plan, run a crew, and build stone work you’re proud to put your name on, this is your shot at a serious company with real benefits, furnished housing, and a path to come back season after season.
Why This Job Stands Out
- Strong pay: $24 to $26 per hour depending on experience
- Furnished housing with utilities included: your own room locally, max two per room on travel jobs. Just $275 per bi-weekly pay period, deducted from your check
- We cover your trip in: We will arrange and pay for your travel to Minnesota
- Company truck provided for out-of-town project commutes
- Real benefits: paid time off, paid holidays, 401(k) with up to 4% match, and health insurance while on payroll
- Work that keeps going: season runs through December 15, with potential to extend into snow season or return March 10 for spring
- Bring your people: have qualified guys you trust? Experienced foremen who can bring crew members are a big plus
What You’ll Do
- Lead a crew of two on high-end residential hardscape and softscape projects
- Read landscape plans and install everything to custom design specs
- Plan and sequence work a week ahead so materials, equipment, and crew are ready
- Build natural stone walls, boulder walls, patios, and walkways
- Safely run concrete saws, track machines, and skid loaders
- Drive company vehicles and handle routine truck and equipment maintenance
- Load and unload materials and keep job sites safe and clean
- Communicate professionally with homeowners and project managers, and solve problems before they become problems
- Lead out-of-town projects 3.5 to 5.5 hours from the shop with limited day-to-day supervision
What You Bring
- 3+ years in high-end residential landscaping, including leading at least one person
- Strong hardscape and softscape installation background
- Hands-on natural stone and boulder wall experience
- Ability to read a landscape plan and sequence a job a week out
- Clean enough driving record to pass an MVR check (you’ll be driving company vehicles)
- Comfortable with strenuous outdoor work in heat, rain, dust, and cold
- U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident
- Willing to relocate to Minnesota for the season and travel for extended out-of-town projects
Bonus Points For
- 5+ years as a crew leader
- Irrigation experience
- Bilingual English and Spanish
- Mechanical skills
- Your own qualified crew members ready to work
- Good to Know
A background check may be required
One of the two positions may be based in South Dakota or Wisconsin
