But you’re looking for more than just a job — you want a future. At Creative Roots Landscaping, we get it. That’s why we don’t just offer paycheques — we offer a pathway to leadership, stability, and even ownership.Why This Role Might Be Right for You
- You have a couple of seasons under your belt and plan to stay in landscaping.
- You enjoy physical, outdoor work and seeing the tangible results of your effort.

- You value structure, mentorship, and opportunities to grow your skills.
- You want to be part of a high-performing team that takes pride in what they do — and actually enjoys working together.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Landscape Construction Apprentice, you’ll support our construction crews on high-end custom residential projects. Tasks may include:- Site prep and layout

- Shared Success:For those who demonstrate leadership, drive, and a commitment to company growth — we offer a real opportunity to become a shareholder. Several of our construction team members now own a stake in the company. It’s not a guarantee — it’s an earned path.
