Full Job Description

Local Landscaping Partners is seeking experienced landscaping contractors and owner-operators to complete paid customer projects throughout the Chicago area and surrounding Illinois communities.

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

This is a project-based 1099 independent contractor role.

It is not:

An hourly landscaping job
A salaried position
A W-2 employee position
A position where we provide a truck, mower, trailer, tools, or daily crew
A traditional employee job with guaranteed weekly hours

We work with independent landscaping businesses, established owner-operators, and contractor crews that can complete customer jobs using their own business setup, transportation, equipment, insurance, and labor.

Who Should Apply

You should apply if you currently:

Operate a landscaping, lawn-care, property-maintenance, hardscape, irrigation, tree-service, snow-removal, cleanup, or related outdoor-service business

Have substantial professional landscaping experience and are preparing to operate independently as an owner-operator in the near future

Established owner-operators are welcome. You do not need a large company or multiple crews.

Requirements Before You Can Be Activated for Customer Work

Before a contractor can begin accepting customer projects through our system, they must be able to provide:

A legitimate independent business or owner-operator setup
EIN / tax information appropriate for 1099 contractor work
Completed Form W-9
Active business general liability insurance
Reliable transportation
Tools and equipment appropriate for the services offered
Ability to complete accepted jobs independently or with your own crew
Professional customer communication
Defined service territory
Current availability for project-based customer work

Not Fully Set Up Yet?

If you have strong landscaping or property-maintenance experience but do not yet have your independent business setup or business liability insurance, you may still apply if you expect to meet the contractor requirements in the near future.

Examples:

Experienced landscaper preparing to become an owner-operator
Landscape foreman preparing to operate independently
Grounds-maintenance professional planning to establish a small landscaping business
Experienced contractor currently arranging business insurance or tax documentation

In your application, clearly explain what you already have and what requirements you are still working on.

Applicants who are not yet contractor-ready will not be activated for customer projects until the required business, tax, insurance, transportation, and equipment requirements are satisfied.

Applying early allows us to review your experience and determine whether you may be considered for future contractor availability once you are qualified.

You should not purchase insurance, equipment, licensing, or other services solely for the purpose of submitting this application.

Who Should NOT Apply

Please do not apply if you are only looking for:

Hourly employment
W-2 employment
A guaranteed weekly paycheck
A company vehicle
Company-provided landscaping equipment
A daily employee work schedule
Paid employee training
A job where someone else supplies the crew and tools

If your goal is traditional employment with an landscaping company, this is not the correct opening.

Pay

This is project-based contractor compensation.

Pay is determined before each accepted customer job.

Typical smaller maintenance, cleanup, lawn-care, and outdoor-property-service jobs may range from:

$200 to $1,500 per completed project

Larger approved projects may pay more depending on:

Scope of work
Materials
Service type
Property size
Crew requirements
Equipment requirements
Location
Agreed project terms

There is no guaranteed number of projects or guaranteed weekly income.

Schedule

This is flexible project-based contractor work.

Customer work may include:

Weekday projects
Weekend projects when appropriate
Recurring maintenance
One-time landscaping projects
Seasonal cleanups
Snow and ice work
Residential properties
Commercial properties

Contractors decide whether they are available for individual projects and are not required to accept every job offered.

Types of Customer Work

Depending on your experience and equipment, projects may include:

Lawn mowing
Edging
String trimming
Blower cleanup
Spring cleanups
Fall cleanups
Leaf removal
Mulch installation
Garden-bed maintenance
Hedge and shrub trimming
Ornamental pruning
Plant installation
Sod installation
Seeding and lawn restoration
Small tree and branch work
Outdoor debris removal
Junk/property cleanup
Gutter cleaning
Drainage
Grading
Land clearing
Irrigation
Paver patios
Walkways
Retaining walls
Residential grounds maintenance
Commercial grounds maintenance
Snow plowing
Salting
Ice management

You do not need to perform every service listed.

We review contractors for the specific services they already have the experience and equipment to provide.

Contractor Responsibilities

For accepted customer jobs, contractors are responsible for:

Providing their own labor
Providing transportation
Providing appropriate trucks, trailers, tools, and equipment
Completing the agreed scope safely and professionally
Arriving at scheduled appointments
Communicating professionally
Providing before/after or completion photos when requested
Reporting site conditions or scope changes
Maintaining required insurance
Maintaining required contractor documentation
Leaving customer properties clean after completion

Chicago & Illinois Service Area

We are reviewing contractors for Chicago and surrounding Illinois markets, including:

Chicago
North and Northwest Suburbs
West Suburbs
Southwest Suburbs
South Suburbs
North Shore
Lake County
Cook County
DuPage County
Kane County
Will County
Nearby Illinois communities where customer demand exists

Applicants will be asked to identify the cities, ZIP codes, and travel radius they can reliably service.

Contractor Support

For accepted jobs, support may include:

Customer intake
Initial project information
Scheduling coordination
Customer communication support
Work-order information
Payment-processing support
Administrative coordination

The contractor remains responsible for completing accepted field work professionally.

Application Process

Apply directly through Indeed and answer the screening questions completely.

We will review:

Current business or owner-operator status
Professional landscaping experience
EIN / W-9 readiness
General liability insurance
Equipment
Transportation
Crew or owner-operator capacity
Services offered
Service territory
Availability
Current project capacity

Applicants who currently meet the contractor requirements may be contacted about the next stage of contractor review.

Applicants with substantial professional experience who are still preparing their independent business setup may also apply and explain what remains before they can meet the contractor requirements.

Again: this is project-based 1099 subcontractor work, not traditional hourly or W-2 employment.

Pay: $50.00 - $150.00 per hour

Expected hours: 1.0 – 40.0 per week

Benefits:

Referral program

Application Question(s):

Do you currently operate an independent landscaping/outdoor-service business, or are you actively preparing to operate as an owner-operator?
What is the legal business name you currently use? If you are not yet registered, state “Not registered yet” and explain when you expect to be ready.
Do you currently have business general liability insurance? If not, state “Not yet insured.”
Do you understand that this is project-based 1099 subcontractor work—not hourly or W-2 employment—and that contractors supply their own transportation, tools/equipment, and labor?
What ZIP code is your business based in, and which cities or ZIP codes can you reliably service? How far are you willing to travel to complete customer jobs?
How many people are currently available on your crew?
If you have a crew, are they 1099 contractors or W2 employees?
How many additional customer projects could your company realistically complete in a typical week?
Do you carry workers compensation insurance?
