Tree Care Groundman

Overview

Tree Care Groundman (Maintenance)

Join Our Growing Team at Treasure Valley Landscape! We are seeking motivated, reliable Tree Care Groundmen to join our commercial tree care crews and learn the arboriculture trade from the ground up. This is an excellent entry-level opportunity for hardworking individuals who love outdoor work, want to build skills in a safety-focused environment, and are eager to advance into climbing or leadership roles.

Treasure Valley Landscape is looking for enthusiastic Tree Care Groundmen to support our Foremen and Climbers on daily tree care operations at commercial properties throughout the Treasure Valley. Youll handle critical ground support tasks: dragging brush, rigging ropes, traffic control, equipment operation, and site cleanup while learning proper pruning, removal techniques, chainsaw safety, and industry best practices.

This is a perfect starting position for someone who wants hands-on training, year-round work, and a clear path to promotion (many of our best Climbers and Foremen started as Groundmen!).
