We specialize in high-end outdoor living projects including patios, retaining walls, walkways, and complete outdoor environments that are built to last.
Our team is made up of outdoorsy, skilled professionals who care deeply about safety, craftsmanship, teamwork, and the planet. We take pride in creating outdoor spaces our clients love and our crews are proud to build.
The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced Hardscape Crew Lead to take a key role on our hardscape team. This is a hands-on field position where you will build complex hardscape projects, work closely with our Hardscape Project Manager, and occasionally run parts of a job site when needed.
If you are a skilled hardscape installer who wants to do higher-end work, grow into more leadership responsibility, and still be on the tools every day—this role offers the chance to advance your career while working Monday through Friday with no weekend work.
What You'll Do
- Build patios, retaining walls, walkways, steps, fire pits, and other hardscape features to Peak Environmental quality standards
- Work directly with the Hardscape Project Manager to execute project plans and keep jobs running smoothly
- Set up and organize job sites for efficiency, including materials staging, tool setup, and crew direction when needed
- Handle site layout, base preparation, grading, and paver installation, including cutting and screeding
- Operate excavation and heavy equipment safely and effectively as part of the installation process
What Success Looks Like
- Within the first 3–6 months, you consistently deliver hardscape installations that meet or exceed company standards for craftsmanship, durability, and appearance
- You help keep projects on schedule by setting up organized job sites and identifying issues early in the build
- You are trusted to independently handle portions of a job when the Hardscape Project Manager is focused on other project responsibilities
- You model and reinforce safe work practices, contributing to a clean safety record on your jobs
What We're Looking For
- 2–3+ years of hardscape installation experience, including paver installation, base prep, cutting, screeding, and layout
- Proven ability to operate excavation and heavy equipment and complete excavation work safely
- Ability to work both independently and as part of a crew, with strong attention to detail and craftsmanship
- Reliability, a safety-focused mindset, and the physical ability to perform outdoor construction work
Compensation and Benefits
- Competitive pay and benefits
- 401(k); health, dental, and vision insurance; paid time off
- Full-time employment
- Monday–Friday day shift, 10-hour shifts, no weekend work
