If your U.S. history is a bit rusty, or you have a question about how American government works, ask Rosvin Lara.

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.

Looking for a good job? Come talk to us. We need you!

The landscaping industry has been struggling with a labor shortage for the past few years, and lately, it’s even more of a struggle to find good workers.

Companies like Level Green Landscaping are competing with lots of other employers looking for good workers, says Doug Delano, co-founder and managing partner at Level Green.

“We hired a full-time recruiter, but we’re still having issues,” he says. “Everybody’s in the same boat. Everybody’s looking for people.”

Customers, please be patient with us.

“We’re not getting things done as quickly,” Delano says. “We’re getting grass cut, but you may not get your mulch as quickly. It’s taking longer to get to enhancements.”

Meanwhile, if you know a hard worker looking for a good job, send them our way.

Pay is around $15/hr, with no experience necessary.

“We’re averaging 50-55 hours a week right now, so you can make decent money at $15 an hour, plus overtime,” Delano says. “We’re a growing company, so we have a significant amount of work.”

Should you be in the landscaping business?
