Landscape Designer / Surveyor

Design dream backyards. Survey real dirt. Make magic happen.

Alderwood Landscaping is looking for a full-time Landscape Designer / Surveyor to join our Boise, ID team. This role is the perfect blend of creative design, technical drafting, and in-field surveying, so you’ll get plenty of time both behind a monitor and out in the fresh Idaho air. If AutoCAD is your happy place, and you don’t mind braving a little cold weather to get the perfect measurement, we’d love to meet you.

What We’re Looking For:

• Expert-level proficiency in AutoCAD (bonus points if your layers are cleaner than your car)
• Landscape design and horticulture experience preferred
• Degree in Landscape Architecture preferred
• 1+ years with a design-build landscape company preferred
• Experience in 3D modeling is a plus, especially if your D5 skills can make clients say, “Wait… is that real?”
• In-field survey experience is a plus
• Creativity, integrity, clear communication, and strong problem-solving skills
• Ability to work independently without disappearing into the wilderness

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Landscape design drafting, in-field site surveys, and generating base maps in AutoCAD
• Working independently while staying connected with a collaborative team
• Spending some days outdoors in cold or wet conditions (we consider this “character building”)
• Taking direction from supervisors and contributing to team goals
• Growing accuracy, speed, and critical-thinking skills as your responsibilities evolve
• Delivering designs with the level of quality that makes clients say, “This is my backyard?!”

Compensation & Benefits:
$62,000 – $90,000/year DOE

Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, paid holidays, paid vacation, and 401(k).

Who We Are:
Alderwood Landscaping has spent over 30 years designing and building high-end, resort-style outdoor living spaces across the Pacific Northwest. We mix creativity, technical skill, and a bit of magic to bring incredible landscapes to life one backyard at a time.
