We are seeking an experienced Senior Landscape Designer to lead high-end residential design-build projects with direct ownership of client engagement, design development, and project closure.
This is a hybrid design and sales role — not a purely creative design position. The ideal candidate is a confident, client-facing professional who can guide homeowners through the full lifecycle of a project, from the initial consultation through concept development, presentation, and signed agreement.
You will play a direct role in driving revenue, generating backlog for installation teams, and creating exceptional outdoor living environments for estate-level residential clients.
Responsibilities
-
Meet with homeowners and estate-level clients to understand project goals, design vision, lifestyle needs, and budget expectations
-
Develop custom residential landscape concepts, outdoor living spaces, and detailed site layouts tailored to each client
-
Create polished 3D models, renderings, and visual presentations that clearly communicate design intent
-
Lead client presentations and consultative sales conversations with confidence and professionalism
-
Close high-end residential landscape projects typically ranging from $50K–$100K+ in value
-
Generate consistent project backlog by converting active opportunities into signed contracts
-
Manage multiple active client opportunities while maintaining responsiveness and high service standards
-
Collaborate closely with installation and field teams to ensure accurate execution of approved design concepts
-
Contribute to ongoing improvements in design processes, customer experience, and sales performance
-
Maintain strong client relationships throughout the full project lifecycle
Requirements
-
5+ years of experience in residential landscape design or design-build environments
-
Proven track record successfully selling and closing residential landscape or outdoor living projects
-
Experience working with high-end residential or estate-level clientele required
-
Strong proficiency in landscape design software with advanced 3D modeling and rendering capabilities
-
Excellent client-facing, presentation, and consultative sales skills
-
Ability to independently manage the full project lifecycle from consultation through signed agreement
-
Comfortable being measured on revenue production, project conversion, and backlog generation
-
Residential design-build background required — commercial-only experience will not be considered
-
Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
Benefits
-
Competitive base salary plus commission and performance-based bonus opportunities
-
Health insurance and benefits package
-
Retirement plan options
-
Paid time off
-
Direct impact on company growth, revenue generation, and project pipeline development
