Pruner​/Ornamental Pruner

Overview

As an Ornamental Pruner, you’ll have strong attention to detail – Does that mustard stain on that guy’s shirt bother you? Good. You’re probably hypersensitive to small details, and that’s okay. You approach issues like a challenging puzzle; you love to problem-solve and systematically figure it out. When an issue pops up, you read on.

Our Pruners work on a landscape crew maintaining trees, shrubs, hedges, and turf areas. You are responsible for trimming shrubs and low trees to shape and improve growth or to remove damaged leaves, branches, or twigs using shears, pruners, or gas-powered hedge trimmers. Ornamental Pruners use a wide range of hand tools and landscape maintenance equipment. You will demonstrate a high level of safety in all jobs and adhere to safety standards / precautions.

Ornamental Pruners display strong communication skills when providing customers with information while working with them on-site. Our customers feel comfortable and informed when you meet with them.
