Presentation
Landscaping & Nursery Operations
This career area involves the construction, installation and maintenance of various landscape plans for residential customers. Landscapers typically work outdoors in various weather conditions, although people working in this industry also help develop green indoor spaces. Many landscapers eventually start their own companies. The job outlook for landscapers is very favorable. Employment opportunities are expected to grow faster than average given the anticipated growth in construction and the importance of personal and commercial property maintenance.
