Positions – Are you the right fit for us? Are WE the right fit for you?
We really strive to make sure our employees are in positions they are best suited for, from skill set to their own job satisfaction. It’s very important to enjoy what you do, if you don’t you will likely not be very successful and that isn’t good for you or the company.

The Landscaping Industry is Harder Than it Seems:
To work in this industry, you have to some grit. If you are outside in the field, you will be working hard every day, it is physically demanding, and weather plays a big part as well. We also want to give our clients the best possible service, this means you need to care what you are doing, putting in your best effort every day. Are you up for the challenge?!
Company Core Values:
Our company “Core Values” are similar to other companies as they are fundamental values needed for any healthy relationship, whether it is personal or professional. The list starts with Integrity and Honesty which as cliché as they are, are crucial in forming trusting relationships in the workplace. Following that is Teamwork, Dedication and Respect and we finish our values list with Sense of Humor. We feel having a sense of humor is much needed for those challenging days we all have from time to time. In addition to our “Core Values”, we are also an Equal Opportunity Employer promoting diversity and inclusion.
We also offer benefits!
- Health, Dental and Vision Insurance
- Paid Holidays
- Paid Time Off
- Educational Assistance
- Employee Events and more!
- For eligible employees
Other characteristics we like to see at SLS and Greener Lawns:
- An optimistic attitude – we all have good days and bad days. We are looking for team members that can still give a smile, tell a joke and enjoy their workday even when Dunkin’s screwed up your coffee that morning.
- Desire to learn new skills and new techniques– we want you to enjoy your job, utilize your existing skills and improve in areas you are interested in.
- Proactive/Problem Solver – knowing how to navigate a tricky situation and giving a client the best service possible often requires one to make decisions in the moment. Having this innate ability is a benefit to all.
- Listen – Listening is a skill we all struggle with on occasion, but is crucial to effective communication between you, your fellow employees and clients. Knowing how to sit back, listen and apply what you’ve heard is a talent to be proud of!
- Sense of Humor - In our opinion, laughing is part of the recipe needed to love your job. We are not looking for comedians, you don’t have to tell any jokes, you could even be an introvert. We just want you to enjoy coming to work every day (well, maybe not every day, sometimes Monday’s are rough ;)) and to us that includes some laughter throughout the day!
- SLS Landscape Design & Development is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
