A small community on the OC/Long Beach border. The Los Alamitos Race Course and local restaurants provide niche employment opportunities.
Landscaping is outdoor work. You will be in the sun, operating mowers and trimmers, hauling materials, and planting. It is hard on your body but most crews finish by early afternoon. The camaraderie on landscaping crews is strong and many workers say they prefer outdoor work to being stuck inside. Irrigation and specialized roles pay more and involve less heavy lifting.
Landscaping crews start early to beat the heat, typically 6am or 7am. Most jobs wrap up by 2pm or 3pm. The work is Monday through Friday with occasional Saturday jobs. Hours are weather-dependent but OC's climate means very few rain days.
You do not need a landscaping degree. Most companies will train you. What they want is someone who shows up every day, can handle physical labor, and does not quit after the first hot week. If you have a valid driver's license, that is a significant plus because crews need to get to job sites. Mentioning any experience with specific equipment (mowers, blowers, irrigation systems) helps.
Year-round warm weather means OC landscaping is a steady industry. Physical fitness and reliability are the top requirements. Formal experience is often less important.
