Landscape Enhancement Foreman

Lead Projects. Own the Details. Deliver Work You’re Proud Of.

This is not a maintenance role.
This role is for experienced landscape installers who can lead crews and deliver projects. If you haven’t led installs or run jobs — this won’t be the right fit.

---

This is where precision, planning, and leadership come together.

At Creative Roots Landscaping, our Enhancement team focuses on upgrading and refining high-end residential landscapes — softscape installs, irrigation and lighting upgrades, and targeted improvements that demand detail and care.

These are fast-paced, client-facing projects.

They require someone who can think ahead, lead with confidence, and deliver a clean, polished result.

---

If you take pride in your work, hold a high standard, and are ready to lead —
this is your next step.

---

What This Role Actually Is

You lead projects from start to finish:

• Plan the work
• Lead the crew
• Manage time, materials, and quality
• Deliver a clean, professional result

You’re not just on the tools — you’re accountable for the outcome.

Success looks like:

• Jobs on time and on budget
• Organized, controlled sites
• Confident, informed clients
• A crew that improves under your leadership

This is a leadership role for someone who takes ownership.

---

This Role Is a Great Fit If You…

• Have landscape installation / construction experience
• Have led crews and develop people
• Can plan, sequence, and execute efficiently
• Care about quality and clean finishes
• Take responsibility for results
• Communicate clearly with clients and team
• Show up organized and ready to lead

You don’t just do the work — you run the job.

---

This Role Is Not a Fit If You…

• Only have maintenance experience
• Haven’t led a crew or owned jobs
• Prefer being told what to do
• Struggle with organization or pacing
• Avoid responsibility when things go wrong
• Cut corners or accept “good enough”
• Are looking for short-term work

We are selective because this role matters.

---

What You’ll Be Responsible For

You’ll lead enhancement projects including:

• Softscape installs and bed renovations
• Irrigation and lighting upgrades
• Seasonal displays and property refreshes
• Minor hardscape repairs

Day-to-day:

• Plan and run the job
• Delegate and lead the crew
• Manage materials and workflow
• Track time and job progress
• Maintain clean, professional sites
• Communicate with clients and managers
• Train and develop team members
• Solve problems and protect the plan

This is hands-on leadership — you’re in it with your crew, setting the standard.

But you’re looking for more than just a job — you want a future. At Creative Roots Landscaping, we get it.
