About the Company
Our client is a respected, family-owned commercial landscaping business working across Brisbane and SEQ. They partner with major builders and developers on a wide variety of projects, including high-rise surrounds, townhouse communities, schools, industrial estates, aged-care facilities and government infrastructure.

- Carry out drainage works, irrigation basics and soiling up
- Set out plants and read landscape plans
