Ceres-Account Manager

Who we are and why you should consider working for us:

Ceres Landcare has evolved to become the preeminent name in residential and commercial landscaping throughout the Colorado high country. Originally born of the vision of brothers Glen and Rich Ellison as Land Designs by Ellison, they championed a new way to design and live in outdoor landscapes in the high country, and instilled a culture of quality and craftsmanship to everyone they brought on board.

Their legacy lives on through our team of passionate outdoor devotees, all of whom were drawn to Ceres to build on the Ellison’s strong foundation of innovative design and attention to detail. From design and construction to maintenance and plant care, Ceres’ vast industry knowledge delivers invaluable expertise for any landscaping endeavors.
