Landscapers are professionals who maintain the beauty of gardens, parks, and other outdoor spaces. They are responsible for designing, constructing, and installing landscapes on the exterior of homes. Landscapers perform a variety of tasks, including planting new flowers, trees, grass, hedges, and bushes, maintaining gardens and lawns, mowing lawns using a push mower or riding lawn mower, cutting lawns using hand, power, or riding mower, trimming and edging around walks, flower beds, and walls, removing weeds and dead plants, and cleaning up debris around yards and other areas. They also conduct general maintenance duties such as cleaning walkways and fixing fountains. Landscapers work for landscaping companies, local governments, or as independent contractors. The job can be physically demanding, but many landscapers enjoy working with plants and creating beautiful outdoor spaces.
