£35,000-£40,000 + Company Van | Full-Time | Permanent
Operations based between Reading & Oxford
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and highly skilled Landscaper to join a long‑established, award‑winning garden design and build practice known for creating exceptional, bespoke outdoor spaces across the Thames Valley and surrounding areas. With nearly three decades of heritage and a reputation built on craftsmanship, detail, and exceptional service, this organisation offers a rare chance to contribute to some of the region's most beautifully executed private gardens.
Following the opening of a new design studio and continued growth in design demand, the business is seeking a confident and talented landscaper who takes pride in delivering work to the highest standard. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on building unique, design-led gardens and wants to be part of a loyal, supportive, and skilled team.
This is a special opportunity to work within a respected, quality-driven environment where no two projects are the same - and where your craftsmanship will be genuinely valued.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver high-quality hard and soft landscaping across bespoke, design-led projects
- Lay paving, natural stone, setts, brickwork, blockwork, decking, and fencing to exceptional standards
- Carry out soft landscaping duties including planting, bed preparation, turfing, and seeding
- Interpret and work confidently from detailed design drawings
- Assist with setting out sites, levels, and project planning
- Work independently or as part of a small, experienced construction team
- Maintain a professional, tidy site and uphold strict Health & Safety procedures
- Represent the organisation professionally with clients, designers, and suppliers
What We're Looking For
- Strong experience in both hard and soft landscaping, ideally within high-end or design-led environments
- A craftsperson with a genuine passion for quality, detail, and building beautiful gardens
- Someone confident, capable, and able to work with autonomy when needed
- A team player with a positive, "can‑do" attitude and excellent problem-solving skills
- A professional who values loyalty, consistency, and long-term commitment
- Comfortable working with discerning clients and maintaining a premium level of service
- Ideally based between Reading and Oxford
- Willingness to stay away on occasion for project delivery
What's on Offer
- £35,000-£40,000 salary, depending on experience
- Company van
- All tools, equipment, and uniform provided
- 28 days holiday including bank holidays
- Pension
- Supportive, stable working environment with long-serving staff
- The chance to work on one-off, beautifully designed, high-quality landscapes
- Long-term career development in a company that genuinely values its people
This is an outstanding opportunity to join a respected landscaping practice with a proud history, a strong reputation, and a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. If you're someone who puts quality first and wants to be part of a close-knit and supportive team, this could be the ideal next step in your landscaping career.
