We offer our employees a high degree of flexibility, including job tailoring and winters off, with eligibility for job-attached unemployment assistance. Our people-first staffing approach has created an experienced and tight-knit group of employees that care deeply about what we do and who we are.
The Company: Gardenwerks is a family-owned and operated full-service landscape design-build company and retail garden center. We enjoy a high degree of visibility and recognition within our community and are known for our attention to quality and detail, our long-term client and customer relationships, our love of plants and a commitment to creating beautiful and sustainable outdoor spaces.
- For 30 years, Gardenwerks has been the gold standard for residential and commercial landscapes in Helena.

- After one year of employment, we offer several benefits including a company phone plan, health-savings account and an IRA option.
The Position: We’re looking for an experienced Landscape Foreman to oversee small jobs, including tree plantings as well as perennial/shrub/grass plantings, small-scale hardscape repair and site work and low-voltage lighting installation. Pay starts at $17-$25/hour, depending on experience. This position requires project management and client interface.
Requirements:

The Location: It’s nearly unanimous that Helena is a great place to live. It is centrally located within our large state and it offers many recreational opportunities, both close to home and in every direction out. Its local trail access is the best in Montana and we boast multiple lakes and rivers within an easy drive. As the capital of Montana, it is the home of many state departments, agencies and government contractors, however housing is still relatively affordable, when compared to faster-growing markets in Montana.
