Snowy hikes, downhill skiing and snowboarding, ice fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are all wonderful activities that you could have time to enjoy through seasonal employment at Michael Grimm Landscape and Tree Services. Come find out what competitive wages and benefits you can earn while the sun shines.

A person’s time, physical and mental health and finances are important. At Michael Grimm Services enjoy the weather while you work, stay physical throughout the day, and earn a living wage in the process. We are a fast-paced company, and in season it shows, but we understand the importance of moderation. Take a break during the off season to recharge and enjoy Upstate New York’s winter attractions.

Work Monday-Friday while earning overtime along the way. Weekend work is always optional and never mandated. Learn how to build Pergolas, pavilions, retaining walls, patios, planting installation, read scaled drawings and more. If plants are more of your interest, we offer general maintenance and gardening training with plant identification and proper planting techniques and the importance of biodiversity and sustainability.

While we believe education is important, it is not required to start here. Build your knowledge in an industry that is ever expanding as the need for rain collection, permeable pavers, sustainable native planting, and naturalization continues to grow.

If you have leadership experience or would like to lead others through their development in our organization, we offer Foreman training that will give you the skills and knowledge to lead others and to take a customers dream to a reality.
