Laborer Jobs in Kentucky

A Laborer in the landscaping industry is responsible for the physical labor involved in landscaping work. Their duties typically include mowing lawns, trimming trees and shrubs, planting flowers, applying pesticides and fertilizers, and maintaining gardens.

These certifications can demonstrate a higher level of knowledge and expertise in the landscaping field. Experience in a related field is beneficial.
