Landscaper

Landscaper – Full-Time | Kalles Property Management Location: Puyallup, WA | Pay: $22–$27/hr DOE | Schedule: Monday–Friday

About Kalles Property Management Kalles Property Management (KPM) is building the premier property management company in the South Puget Sound region. We operate across residential property management, community association (HOA) management, and property services divisions — and we take the same pride in our curb appeal as we do in our client relationships.

When you join KPM, you're not a number on a crew rotation. You become an essential part of a company that values accountability, quality, and long-term growth. Our ownership is invested in developing the team and the brand — and that shows in how we operate day to day.

The Role We're hiring a dedicated, full-time Landscaper to exclusively maintain the properties in KPM's managed portfolio across the Puyallup area. This is a stable, year-round position — no seasonal layoffs, no scrambling for hours. You'll work a consistent Monday–Friday schedule, take ownership of your properties, and be a visible extension of the KPM brand.

This is a great fit for someone who takes pride in their work, operates with minimal supervision, and wants to be part of a growing company rather than a rotating temp position.

What You'll Do

• Maintain lawns, edges, and turf on a scheduled rotation across managed properties
• Perform spring and fall cleanups: leaf removal, bed preparation, debris clearing
• Prune and trim shrubs, hedges, ornamental trees, and ground cover
• Plant seasonal color, install mulch, and maintain landscape beds
• Operate and perform basic maintenance on all landscaping equipment
• Identify and report irrigation issues, drainage concerns, or property damage
• Maintain a clean, professional presence at all properties — you represent KPM
• Coordinate with property managers to address tenant and owner requests related to grounds
• Keep equipment clean, fueled, and ready — report needed repairs promptly

What We're Looking For

• 1+ years of landscaping, groundskeeping, or property maintenance experience preferred
• Ability to safely operate mowers, trimmers, blowers, and hand tools
• Strong attention to detail — KPM properties should look sharp, always
• Reliable, punctual, and self-directed: you manage your route and get it done
• Valid Washington driver's license and ability to operate a company vehicle/trailer
• Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions; physical stamina for a full active workday
• Professional communication with property managers, tenants, and owners when needed
• WA pesticide applicator's license or willingness to obtain — a plus, not required

What KPM Offers

• Competitive pay: $22–$27/hr depending on experience
• Consistent full-time, year-round hours (Monday–Friday schedule)
• Stable single-employer role — you know your properties and your team
• Healthcare benefits (medical, dental, vision)
• Paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays
• Company-provided equipment and vehicle/trailer access
• A culture of accountability, collaboration, and doing things the right way
• Room to grow with a company actively expanding its portfolio and service divisions

Our Culture & Standards KPM operates with a straightforward philosophy: do excellent work, treat people well, and build something worth being proud of. We hold our team to high standards — and in return, we invest in them. Our leadership team is hands-on, approachable, and genuinely committed to developing the people who make KPM run.

We expect punctuality, professionalism, and care for the properties you maintain. This isn't a transactional job. It's a place to build a career.

How to Apply Submit your resume and a brief note about your landscaping experience — what types of properties you've maintained, equipment you've operated, and why you're looking for something long-term. We review every application and will reach out to candidates we wish to pursue.
