Join The Plant Studio Landscape Crew

Maybe you have been on a crew that did not respect the work. Maybe you have worked for a foreman who did not respect you. Maybe you are just tired of running through a day on a clock that nobody is watching, on a job that nobody is checking. Either way, what you want is plain. A crew that knows what it is doing. A foreman who shows you how to do the job right. A wage that matches the work. A clear path from where you are now to where you could be in five years. That is the kind of company we are trying to be.

Plant Studio Landscape hires for three things: integrity, passion, and efficiency. Josh Perkins, our Landscape Architect, has been clear about it since 2016. Integrity is non-negotiable. Passion shows up in how you treat the work when nobody is watching. Efficiency is something we teach. If you bring the first two, we will teach the third.

INTEGRITY  |  PASSION  |  EFFICIENCY

Most of the people on our crews started somewhere else. Some came off other landscape companies that were not taking care of them. Some came out of the trades with no landscape background. A few started as interns and never left. We have worked sites from Yorktown Memorial Park out to the I-69 corridor, and the crew that started a year ago has come up enough to be running their own jobs.

The reason is simple. Josh has said the thing he cares about most now is not the designs, it is the people, being the tide that raises all boats. We invest in our crew with real training, continuing education, travel to learn from the best in the trade, and a culture that makes a hard day worth showing up for. When the team is taken care of, the work gets better and the client experience gets better right along with it. If the team is not happy, the client cannot be either.

The pay scale is posted on this page because it is not a secret. Crew Technician 2 at the start, learning the trade. Crew Technician 1 once you are running equipment and reading plans on your own. Foreman I, II, and III as you take on more crew, more sites, and more responsibility. Project Manager and Construction Management above that. The ladder is built to be climbed. The wages move with you. The work expands with you. If you stay, you grow. That is the deal.

The work happens outside, mostly within a thirty-minute drive of the office. Muncie, Yorktown, Daleville, and north toward the Indianapolis suburbs on the I-69 corridor. In winter, the work shifts to snow and ice routes. In spring, it shifts back to landscape installation and lawn care. The schedule is steady. The truck leaves the yard at 7:30 in the morning, and the day ends when the day ends.

You wear what the weather calls for. You come home tired. The shower at the end of a long day is a good one. None of this is glamorous. All of it is real.
