Hardscape Technician
📍 Reading, PA
If you love building things that last and don't mind getting your hands dirty, we want to talk to you.
Blades of Steel Landscaping is growing, and we're hiring a Hardscape Technician to join our crew in Reading, PA. We're looking for someone ready to build beautiful outdoor spaces that last—whether you're coming from construction, general landscaping, delivery, warehouse work, or any hands-on trade. You'll earn $800–$980 per week, paid weekly, and work full-time year-round in the Reading area (Berks County).
A Typical Day in the Life:
You arrive at 7am at our staging area and head to your job site in the Greater Reading region. After a quick crew huddle, you're grading and prepping a residential patio area—measuring, setting forms, and checking drainage. By mid-morning, you and your crew are laying pavers in a tight grid, making sure every edge is perfect. Lunch break at noon. Afternoon? You're finishing the patio edge, cleaning up tools, and loading the truck by 4pm. That's the rhythm: precision work, real teamwork, and the satisfaction of seeing a finished project you helped build.
What You'll Do
- Install pavers, retaining walls, and stone features with precision and attention to detail
- Prepare and grade sites to ensure proper drainage and a solid foundation for every project
- Work alongside our team to bring landscape designs to life, from residential patios to commercial installations
- Operate and maintain hardscaping tools and equipment safely and responsibly
- Collaborate with crew leads and designers to solve problems and meet project timelines
- Take pride in quality workmanship—every edge, every line, every finish matters
What We're Looking For
- Experience installing hardscaping materials (pavers, stone, retaining walls, or similar)—or a strong willingness to learn these skills from our experienced crew
- A strong work ethic and commitment to doing things right
- Ability to read plans and understand measurements and layouts
- Physical capability to perform demanding outdoor work in all seasons
- Someone who shows up on time, communicates clearly, and treats equipment with respect
What We Offer
- Full-time, year-round work in Reading, PA with steady paychecks every week
- On-the-job training from day one—we'll teach you hardscaping techniques from experienced crew leads
- Workers' compensation coverage (legally required for all W2 employees)
- A crew that genuinely cares about doing things right and building something real together
- Opportunity to grow your skills and advance with a company that's expanding in the Berks County area
