Experienced Landscaper

Location: Ilminster, Somerset
Hours: 40 hours per week (Monday–Friday)
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

About Us

DU Waterscapes are the South West's leading specialists in the design, construction and maintenance of bespoke ponds, lakes and water features. We create unique outdoor spaces that combine expert craftsmanship with a passion for wildlife and aquatic environments.

Working alongside our sister company, Aqua Eden – our Water Garden Centre and Design Studio – you'll join a friendly, ambitious team delivering exceptional projects across the region.

We're looking for an experienced landscaper who enjoys working outdoors, takes pride in producing high-quality work and is ready to play an important role in building award-winning waterscapes.

The Role

This is a hands-on role for an experienced landscaper who understands how projects come together and can work confidently with minimal supervision.

You'll be involved in every stage of our pond and water feature builds, from excavation and groundwork through to planting and the finishing details that make every project exceptional.

You'll be expected to think ahead, support the build sequence, maintain high standards of workmanship and contribute to a safe, organised and productive site.

Key Responsibilities

Understand and follow the build sequence of ponds and water features.
Work efficiently within the team including solo tasks.
Safely operate a wide range of hand and power tools.
Assist with heavy plant excavation works and hand dug ground preparation.
Install pond liners and underlay to a high standard.
Assist with plumbing, pipework and filtration installation.
Carry out planting of aquatic and terrestrial plants.
Complete finishing works including edging, mulching and site detailing.
Maintain clean, organised and safe working areas throughout each project.
Care for company vehicles, machinery and tools, ensuring they remain clean and serviceable.
Represent DU Waterscapes professionally when working on clients' properties.
Carry out our regular VIP pond maintenance visits

Essential Skills & Experience

Previous landscaping or hard landscaping experience.
Good understanding of how landscape construction projects are delivered.
Ability to work proactively without constant supervision.
Confident using hand and power tools safely.
Strong work ethic and willingness to work outdoors in all weather.
Good physical fitness and ability to undertake manual handling.
Positive attitude with excellent teamwork and communication skills.
Full clean UK driving licence.
Pride in producing high-quality workmanship and attention to detail.

Desirable Experience

Excavator, dumper or mini loader experience.
Hard landscaping including paving, decking or stonework.
Plumbing or irrigation experience.
Horticultural or aquatic plant knowledge.
Experience working around ponds or water features.
Trailer towing experience.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate understands that quality landscaping is about more than physical work. They plan ahead, look after their equipment, keep sites organised and take ownership of their work.

They are someone who:

Understands the importance of build sequencing.
Can anticipate the next task without waiting to be instructed.
Works safely and efficiently.
Takes pride in keeping vehicles, tools and sites clean and organised.
Has a genuine interest in creating outstanding outdoor spaces.

Career Progression

At DU Waterscapes we're committed to developing our team. As your experience grows, you'll have the opportunity to develop into more specialist and senior responsibilities including:

Skilled excavator operation.
Trailer towing qualification.
Advanced aquatic plant identification and installation.
Pond filtration and plumbing diagnostics.
Basic fault finding and troubleshooting.
Leading small projects and mentoring junior team members.

Benefits

Competitive salary based on experience.
Company pension.
Ongoing industry training and development.
Opportunity to work on unique, award-quality projects.
Genuine opportunities for progression within a growing business.
Chance to help shape the future of an ambitious specialist landscaping company.

If you're an experienced landscaper looking for a role that's different from traditional landscaping and want to build some of the UK's most beautiful ponds and water gardens, we'd love to hear from you.

Not Quite There Yet?

If this role excites you but you don't quite meet all of the experience we're looking for, we'd still love to hear from you.

Take a look at our Pond & Water Feature Artisan position instead. It's designed for enthusiastic individuals who are keen to learn the craft, develop their skills and build a long-term career with DU Waterscapes.

If you have the right attitude, work ethic and passion for creating exceptional outdoor spaces, we'll help you build the skills to get there.

Pay: £31,000.00-£41,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company events
Company pension
Free parking
On-site parking
