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.”

Is it a big deal that Dave Briggs has worked at Level Green Landscaping for 15 years?
Depends on who you ask.
Around here, it’s a pretty big deal. Dave was the first account manager to come on board, back in 2005 when just a handful of employees worked here.
But it’s all a matter of perspective, Dave says. His twin brother, Tom, has worked at the same electrical company for 35 years.
Leave it to your twin brother to show you up.
