Looking for a career move that feels like progress?
Join SmartGrass, where we transform backyards, school grounds, sports courts, and public spaces with the best artificial grass in the country.
But it’s more than just the grass.
It’s about base prep, excavation, earthmoving, and precision work.
Our projects blend landscaping, civil work, and creative problem solving — building foundations, shaping areas, installing with care, and leaving sites looking excellent.
We turn ordinary spaces into something extraordinary, working as a team — usually crews of 2 to 3 — dedicated, skilled, and committed to quality.
We’re hiring for two roles:
Be hands-on, learn quickly, use tools, and help prep, shape, cut, and finish each site.
No turf experience needed — just a good work ethic, physical fitness, and eagerness to learn.
If you’ve led small teams or jobs before, and are ready to step into a leadership role, you’ll manage your own sites, overseeing quality, pace, and crew performance.
A vehicle for personal use and full support from our operations team are included.
Every day is different — creating dream lawns, playgrounds, school upgrades, golf projects, or public space enhancements.
It’s physical, rewarding work outside, with visible results and a great crew that shares similar work ethics and interests.
Our team members come from diverse trades — auto techs, landscapers, digger operators, flooring, project coordinators, and even recent graduates — united by attitude and purpose.
Normal weekday hours, tools provided, including job management software, and occasional travel for out-of-town projects.
There’s plenty of room to grow. Not actively job hunting? No worries — some of our best team members weren’t either until they saw this opportunity.
