Are you a team player?
Being a team player is critical for any landscaper, as you may be working with a wide range group of people. From the homeowners or business owners to laborers and outside contractors. Engaging in and coordinating efforts is key for efficiency and is really required in what could be considered a low-margin business due to heavy competition. Therefore, make sure the interviewer knows you enjoy working with a team and is part of the reason you enjoy landscaping as much as you do!
"Yes! I really enjoy working in teams because I enjoy working with others on projects. Everyone on the team is important because each person plays a valuable role in helping the project come together. When I am working on a landscaping job, I communicate with the team about my observations and anything I notice that could be problematic later on. We communicate constructively about solving issues and creating solutions. When we're done with a yard, it's quite amazing to see the end results. The lawn and the garden beds always look incredible!"
