Skilled Landscaper (Hard Landscaping) – £15+ per hour
Full-time | Permanent | North East
If you’re good at what you do, we want you doing it properly.
Wilkinsons Landscapes has been building high-quality, design-led gardens for over 40 years. We have a strong, year-round workload with projects planned well in advance, and we’re known for doing things properly — no bodge jobs, no corner-cutting, no drama.
We’re now looking for experienced, skilled landscapers to strengthen our team as we continue to grow.
This role will suit you if:
- You take real pride in your trade
- You work accurately, cleanly, and with care
- You’re tired of rushed jobs and poor standards
- You want consistent work and a team that values skill
This is not a labourer role.
This is a role for skilled tradespeople and craftsmen.
Your role & specialisms
We recognise that skilled landscapers often come with a core trade.
You might be:
- A joiner specialising in structures, decking, pergolas, and bespoke timber work
- A bricklayer / walling specialist working with stone, brick, and retaining walls
- A hard landscaper with strong paving, groundworks, and setting-out skills
You’ll primarily work within your strengths — with the opportunity to broaden your skills over time if you want to. We don’t expect everyone to do everything, but we do value flexibility and collaboration.
What you’ll be doing
- Building high-end gardens from drawings and specifications
- Delivering quality work in your area of expertise
- Working as part of a skilled, professional team
- Maintaining high standards of finish, safety, and site organisation
What we’re looking for
Essential
- Minimum 2 years’ experience in hard landscaping, groundworks, or a related trade
- Ability to work from drawings and specifications
- Strong tool and machinery knowledge
- Full UK driving licence
- Professional, team-focused attitude
Desirable
- 7.5t licence
- Mechanical knowledge
Pay & Benefits
- £15+ per hour (higher rates for the right experience)
- Full-time, permanent role
- Consistent, year-round work
- Ongoing training and development
- Clear progression routes
- Staff recognition programme
- Private healthcare (including dental & mental health)
- Company pension
- Employee & store discounts
- Free on-site parking
Why Wilkinsons?
Because good tradespeople deserve:
- Proper planning
- Respect for their skill
- The right tools and support
- Work they can take pride in
