If you’re looking for landscape careers in South Florida, you might wonder if it’s just a job or a path you can build a future on. At Jenkins Landscape, we believe it’s a professional trade to be proud of. A crew member role today can lead to becoming an Irrigation Technician, an Account Manager, a Certified Arborist, or a Field Supervisor tomorrow. Since 1959, we’ve been dedicated to not just growing landscapes, but growing our people.

More Than a Job: A Career with Room to Grow

What makes a job a career? It’s stability, growth, education, and a supportive environment. Here’s how we deliver on that promise.

A Legacy of Growth: Stories from Our Team.

Our commitment to career growth is best told through our people. Their journeys show how a job at Jenkins can become a long-term, rewarding career.
Take Andres, an expert in tree moving who joined our team in 1975. For nearly 50 years, he has not only perfected his craft but has also trained and mentored countless professionals, shaping the next generation of industry leaders. His story is a testament to the stability and mentorship that define our company culture.

Then there’s Ubaldo ‘Chino’ Chavez, who has been a key part of our team since 1998. Chino’s journey is a perfect example of our commitment to promoting from within. He started as a maintenance crew leader and, through his hard work and skill, was promoted to Landscape Installation Crew Leader, a role he has excelled in for over a decade. To top it off, he earned his FNGLA certification, showcasing his dedication to his craft. It was no surprise to anyone when Chino won the company’s “Professionalism” award; his attention to detail and positive attitude inspire his entire crew every day.
