Blades Landscaping is hiring a Field Operations Lead for a hands‑on leadership role in Northwest Arkansas.

This is not an entry‑level landscaping job. This is not a “we’ll teach you everything from scratch” role.

We are only hiring someone who already has real, direct landscaping experience and knows how to do the work at a high level.

That means you should understand things like:

How to mow different types of grass correctly

How to manage weeds and keep properties clean

How to trim, edge, and blow with professional quality

How to clean up and maintain landscape beds

How to identify property issues before the customer complains

How to operate and care for landscaping equipment

How to lead a crew through a full day of field work

How to leave a property looking sharp, clean, and professionally maintained

This role is for someone who has already worked in landscaping, understands what great work looks like, and can help lead others to that standard.

We are offering $1,000/week base pay plus performance‑based bonus opportunities tied to quality, profitability, new properties, and growth.

If you are dependable, experienced, hard‑working, and ready to grow into a larger leadership role, this could be a strong chance.

If you do not already know landscaping, this is not the right role. We need someone who can step into the field, understand the work, and help us raise the standard immediately.

Expect:

Long days

Physical work

Early starts
