The Level Green Culture Blog

Behind the scenes and insider information for landscaping careers and green industry jobs.

Everybody wants to feel good about going to work.

Lots of people go into landscaping because they love being outside.
That’s pretty rewarding, right?

Fresh air. Birds singing. No desk in sight. Sometimes an ice cream truck jingles past, so you can eat a Nutty Buddy on your break. Sweet.

If somebody offered you free money for your future, would you take it?
How about if they offered to pay for half of your health insurance premium costs to protect you and your family?

Sometimes a good deal isn’t too good to be true. It’s actually a good deal.

If you work at Level Green Landscaping, now is a great time to take advantage of the benefits the company offers.

Two new regional manager positions at Level Green Landscaping reflect the company’s continued growth as they look ahead to an expanding footprint in the industry.

Joey Schneider and Kevin Doleman will focus on training and development for team members and increasing efficiency, says Paul Wisniewski, Division Manager at Level Green and the manager who hired for the new positions.

Planting, mowing, pruning, irrigation — these are all crucial jobs in the landscape industry.

But there’s more. A lot more.

There are plenty of management jobs in the green industry, too. Unlike landscape crew positions, which don’t require college degrees, these management jobs typically require bachelor’s degrees.

There are jobs managing accounts, directing marketing efforts, working in sales and more.

Let’s take a look at a few management jobs in the landscape industry.

Branch manager James Kole is a great example.

“I was the new guy on the block,” he says. “Now I’ve been here forever.”

Well, nine years. It kind of flew by.

Kole started at Level Green in 2012 as a supervisor, straight from Pennsylvania State University with a major in landscape contracting and a minor in horticulture.

Level Green is kind of known for its feasts.

Savory Mexican chicken and rice in warm tortillas. Sizzling burgers and grilled kielbasa. Sweet home-baked coffee cake and banana bread.

Team members have long gathered at parks and beaches, or at tables in their own buildings, filling their plates with delicious food and their souls with the nourishment that comes from camaraderie and good conversation.
