The Landscaping Operations program prepares students to practise the trade or occupation of landscape
worker.
Landscape workers are employed by landscapers, municipalities, government departments and
nurseries. After working for a few years, some may even start up their own business.
Landscape workers install gardens and maintain grounds. They also build wooden structures such as
benches, arbours and pergolas, build stone walls and rock gardens, and install concrete features such as
walkways and patios.
Landscape workers work with inert and living materials such as flowers, trees and shrubs. They are
concerned with sustainable development and use pesticides in conformity with legislation as part of an
integrated pest management program.
Landscape workers generally work in teams, referring to plans and specifications and using tools and
machinery. They operate excavators and compacting equipment and handle measuring instruments and
hand tools. Their work may require them to communicate with clients, suppliers and other workers.
