Why This Landscaping Job Could Be a Great Fit

Working as a landscape gardener at MCD Contracting Inc. means you’re not just planting flowers—you’re helping design and maintain beautiful outdoor spaces for residential and recreational purposes. Whether it’s pruning trees, constructing patios, or creating stone paths, your work will directly shape how clients enjoy their outdoor areas.

Plus, with this role being LMIA-approved, it may offer opportunities for foreign workers to apply, making it accessible for a broader range of qualified candidates.

What You’ll Be Doing Day-to-Day

This is a hands-on role that combines physical tasks with creative planning. Here’s a look at some of the duties you’ll be responsible for:

  • Watering and caring for lawns, gardens, and plants
  • Pruning trees and shrubs, treating plant health issues, and repairing damaged areas
  • Planning and building landscaped environments with features like trees, fencing, patios, and decks
  • Maintaining both private and public green spaces
  • Relocating and planting trees as needed

What They’re Looking For

MCD Contracting Inc. is seeking candidates who are not only skilled but also reliable team players. Here’s what they’re hoping you bring to the table:

  • High school diploma
  • 2–3 years of experience in landscaping or a related field
  • Fluent in English with strong interpersonal skills
  • Organized, adaptable, and dependable

Since this job involves working outdoors in various weather conditions, you’ll need to be comfortable with physical labour and working long hours on your feet—sometimes bending, crouching, or kneeling for extended periods.

Where You’ll Be Working

This position is based at 1356 Wade Road in Russell, Ontario, and you’ll be working primarily in outdoor environments, including both urban and rural properties. You’ll be part of a team that provides lawn care and landscaping services directly at clients’ homes or commercial sites, so being able to relocate or commute to this location is essential.

Specialized Skills That Will Set You Apart

While general gardening knowledge is important, candidates with specialized landscaping and construction experience will shine in this role. Some additional skills that are highly valued include:

  • Experience in residential and park landscaping projects
  • Knowledge of landscape construction techniques
  • Ability to build interlocking brick paths, stone garden walls, poured concrete structures, and rock gardens

If you’ve worked on these kinds of projects before, be sure to highlight that in your application—it could give you a competitive edge.

Workplace Expectations and Conditions

This job is perfect for individuals who enjoy being active and working with their hands. That said, you should expect to:

  • Handle heavy loads and perform physically demanding tasks regularly
  • Have strong manual dexterity and attention to detail
  • Be capable of distinguishing colours (helpful when selecting and caring for plants)
  • Work long hours outdoors in various weather conditions

It’s not your typical desk job, but for those who enjoy nature and don’t mind getting a little dirt under their nails, it’s incredibly rewarding.

Perks and Benefits

Along with a steady income and full-time hours, successful candidates will enjoy health benefits, including a dental plan. It’s a great way to stay covered while doing what you love outdoors.

How to Apply

If this sounds like the right opportunity for you, MCD Contracting Inc. would love to hear from you. Here are the ways you can apply:

  • By Email: info@mcdcontracting.org
  • By Mail: 642 Gardenvale Rd, Ottawa, ON, K1K 1E6
