How do I make a career out of Landscaping?

futures trading markets said:

Im planning on going into Landscaping. Im 21 years old, I have no experience in landscaping and currently applied to a position I felt intrested in. I like to move around constantly in a job. I want it to be physical, so I though landscaping was a good choice. Is it possible to move up in a lanscaping job? Any advice out there? Thanks!

you need to hook up with someone that does just that …
tons of digging , planting etc etc
give it 5 years, and your best then , go self employed.
most of all you need to please the people you work for ….
add your own taste…. it will show thru
sure you can make it ………. but start slowly, and read up on your own subject

You should look at taking a horticulture or landscape design program at a 2 year or community college. While you are doing this get a job with a landscape company, you will make your way up through the company but if you get a horticulture degree it will occur faster.

Before you go to school, you could learn quickly working in a production nursery. A small Mom and Pop is best because
Then you could move to a flower grower, vegetable grower, turf farm over a few months or years at each.That way you get hands on with a wide variety of skills.
By that time you will know many landscapers and be able to pick the person you want to learn from. A successful landscaper needs to know a lot about horticulture, alot about machinery, a lot about construction, and a whole lot about reading and taking off from architects plans. And a whole lot about business, practice and law. Pick the guy who can teach all of these.
Once you had the width of experience, knowledge and skills it would be time to select where you wanted to develop some depth and a future within the horticultural industry by going to school or into business.

Ok let me say this, landscaping can be a tricky career. you must know what your location requires as far as damand and supply. but if you find a great company there are many possiblities to move up…i would say that you start a career work for a while, and then look into hardscaping..its like patios and such, it goes hand in hand with landscaping though more money is involved. and it is more physical than landscaping. my fiance started and in three months he became the shop manager… and has already got 3 dollars in raises and he has only been there for a year…but i wish you the best, and just do your research…
