Apprentice Opportunities

Earth Aesthetics is opening up to two apprentice positions for reliable, respectful individuals interested in deepening their understanding of landscape care, plant health, and garden stewardship.

This is an entry-level opportunity for someone who enjoys working outdoors, pays attention to detail, and wants to learn through hands-on experience. Advanced horticultural knowledge is not required — strong observation, consistency, care, and a willingness to learn are most beneficial.

About Earth Aesthetics

Earth Aesthetics is a landscape curation and horticultural stewardship company based in Long Creek, South Carolina. Our work is rooted in thoughtful care, seasonal timing, plant health, corrective pruning, and long-term stewardship.

We are not a mow-blow-go landscaping company. We move carefully, observe before acting, and treat gardens as living spaces that deserve patience, respect, and intention.

About the Position

Apprentices will support Earth Aesthetics in the field while learning our approach to garden care and landscape stewardship.

Work may include garden bed care, weeding, mulching, watering, planting support, seasonal cleanup, debris removal, tool cleanup, blower use, and assisting with plant care or specialty tasks under direction.

Apprentices are not expected to make advanced horticultural decisions independently. Training and direction will be provided.

Who This Is For

This opportunity may be a good fit for someone who is reliable, respectful, detail-oriented, and comfortable working outdoors.

Applicants should be willing to follow direction, ask questions when unsure, care about the quality of their work, and respect private client properties.

What to Expect

This is physical outdoor work. Days may include heat, cold, rain, mud, insects, hills, lifting, bending, hauling, kneeling, and repetitive movement.

Employees are expected to arrive prepared with weather-appropriate clothing, closed-toe shoes, work gloves, food, water, and sun protection.

Workdays are set, but the exact client schedule may vary based on weather, seasonal needs, and property priorities. Apprentices may meet at Earth Aesthetics headquarters in Long Creek, South Carolina, or at a designated meeting location on the way to the job site.

What You May Learn

Apprentices may have the opportunity to learn basic plant care, garden maintenance standards, design, seasonal timing, soil-conscious practices, corrective pruning principles, plant health observation, pest and disease awareness, client property etiquette, tool care, and the Earth Aesthetics approach to stewardship.

The right apprentice may grow into a long-term crew member or future crew leader role.
