Landscape Designer & Sales / Project Manager
Full-Time | $70,000 Base Salary + Commission | Relocation Assistance Available Nationwide
No Mow Worries Lawn Care & Landscaping is looking for an experienced Landscape Designer & Sales / Project Manager to join our growing team.
This is a new position within our company and an important part of our continued growth. We are looking for someone who can take ownership of landscape and hardscape opportunities from the initial client meeting through design, estimating, sale, project coordination, and successful completion.
This is not strictly a sales position, and it is not strictly a landscape design position.
We need someone who understands the creative, construction, financial, and customer-service sides of the landscape industry and can design projects that look great, can actually be built efficiently, meet the client's expectations, and are profitable for the company.
Our target is for this position to be responsible for approximately $1 million to $1.5 million in annual revenue as the position and pipeline develop.
Compensation StructureYears 1–2
- $70,000 annual base salary
- 2% commission on qualifying profitable jobs sold
- Additional 2% commission on self-generated leads that you bring into the company and sell
- This means a qualifying self-generated project may earn a stacked 4% total commission
- Commission applies to projects meeting the company's required profitability standards
- Company profitability expectations will be established and agreed upon
- Up to $10,000 in relocation assistance
- Vehicle reimbursement or eligibility for a company truck after 90 days
- 2 weeks paid vacation
- 5 paid holidays
- Health insurance reimbursement option
After Year 2
The compensation structure is intended to transition toward a more performance-based model after the first two years:
- $50,000 annual base salary
- 4% commission on qualifying profitable jobs sold
- Additional 2% commission on qualifying self-generated leads
- A qualifying self-generated project may therefore earn a stacked 6% total commission
The purpose of the first two years is to provide a stronger guaranteed salary while the individual builds relationships, learns our company, develops a pipeline, and establishes themselves in the position.
After year two, the increased commission structure provides significantly greater earning potential based on performance.
Because this is a new position within our company, responsibilities, processes, compensation details, targets, and expectations may evolve as we learn what works best. Any significant changes to compensation or expectations will be discussed and agreed upon between the company and employee.
Revenue Expectations
Our target revenue range for this position is approximately:
$1,000,000–$1,500,000 annually
This is intended to be a high-impact position within our Design/Build operation.
The company will provide leads and sales opportunities. However, we strongly encourage the person in this position to develop relationships, network, and generate additional opportunities.
To reward business development:
Self-generated leads that turn into qualifying profitable projects will receive an additional 2% commission on top of the standard commission rate.
We want someone who can not only work the opportunities we provide but also help expand our customer base and market presence.

Profitability & Commission
This position is designed to reward profitable sales—not simply sales volume.
The Landscape Designer & Sales / Project Manager will be responsible for properly estimating labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, and other project costs.
Commissions are paid on qualifying profitable projects that meet the company's established profitability requirements.
Company-Provided Leads
Years 1–2: 2% commission
After Year 2: 4% commission
Self-Generated Leads
If you personally generate a new lead that becomes a qualifying profitable project, an additional 2% commission will be added.
That creates potential commissions of:
Years 1–2: Up to 4%
After Year 2: Up to 6%
Specific commission qualifications, profitability requirements, payment timing, lead ownership, and other details will be established in the employee's written compensation agreement.
Leads & Sales Support
Leads will be provided by No Mow Worries Lawn Care & Landscaping.
You will not be expected to build your entire sales pipeline from scratch.
However, we want someone who sees opportunities.
If you develop relationships with builders, property managers, homeowners, businesses, real estate professionals, or other referral sources and bring new opportunities into the company, we want to reward you for helping grow the business.
Vehicle
Vehicle reimbursement will be available for required business travel.
After successfully completing the first 90 days, qualified employees may be eligible for a company truck based on position requirements, performance, and company approval.
Nationwide Relocation Assistance
We are willing to recruit the right person from anywhere in the United States.
Qualified candidates may be eligible for up to $10,000 in relocation assistance to relocate for this position.
Relocation assistance and repayment/eligibility terms will be discussed and agreed upon during the hiring process.
We are especially interested in reaching experienced landscape professionals currently working in markets such as:
- Northwest Arkansas
- Kansas City
- St. Louis
- And other landscape and hardscape markets throughout the United States
If you're the right person for the position, distance is not a deal-breaker.
Why Join No Mow Worries?
We're building a company where talented people have the opportunity to take ownership of their work and grow with the business.
This is also an opportunity to step into a newly created position and have a major influence on how the role develops.
We aren't looking for someone who just wants to draw landscapes or hand estimates to someone else.
We're looking for someone who wants to:
Design it. Estimate it. Sell it. Help manage it. Make it profitable. And see the finished project come to life.
The company will provide opportunities and leads, while giving you additional earning potential for creating opportunities of your own.
If you have strong landscape and hardscape knowledge, understand construction, enjoy working with clients, and want your compensation to grow with the revenue and profitable projects you produce, we'd like to talk with you.
