Careers at Riverside

Come work
outside with us.

We are a local, family owned crew in King of Prussia, and we have been doing this for over ten years. Lawn and landscape work through the warm months, junk removal and hauling all year, snow when it comes. If you like finishing a day able to point at what you did, this is that kind of job.

What the job is actually like

A small crew,
not a big machine.

You will know everybody you work with by name, including the owner, because he is on jobs too. Nobody here is a number on a schedule that somebody in an office made up.

Work all year, not just in summer

A lot of landscaping jobs around here end in November and start again in April. Ours do not. Junk removal and hauling runs straight through, and snow work fills the coldest weeks. The calendar is built so the crew keeps working.

You are home every night

Everything we do is inside about thirty miles of King of Prussia. Montgomery, Chester and Delaware counties, the Main Line, the river towns. No travel crews, no overnights, no three hour drive to a job site.

The day ends when the day ends

We run Monday to Saturday, 7:30am to 5:00pm. Storms and snow are the exception and everybody knows that going in, but the normal week is a normal week.

You learn real skills, not one motion

In one season you can end up cutting, edging, running a blower, planting, setting mulch depth, reading a bed line, loading a truck safely and running a route. That is a trade, and it travels with you wherever you go next.

The variety keeps it interesting

Different property every couple of hours. A hedge install, a garage cleanout, a fall leaf haul, a driveway at five in the morning after a storm. Nobody is standing in the same square of ground for eight hours.

Good work gets noticed here

On a crew this size, if you show up, work clean and look after the equipment, everybody sees it immediately. There is no layer of management between you and the person who decides things.

Open positions

Six jobs.
All of them hands on.

These are crew positions. Every one of them is field work, out on properties, alongside everybody else. Tell us which one fits you and we will take it from there.

A normal day

Load out. Work.
Load in. Go home.

No mystery to it. This is what most days look like from the time you show up to the time you leave.

  1. 01

    7:30, load out

    Everybody checks their equipment, fuels up, loads the trailer or the truck, and finds out which properties are on the sheet today.

  2. 02

    Out on the route

    You work in a pair or a small group. Somebody who has done it longer shows you how the property is supposed to be left, and after a couple of weeks you know it yourself.

  3. 03

    Lunch when the work allows

    Usually between properties, out of the truck. Nobody is watching a clock at you over it.

  4. 04

    Load in and done

    Debris goes to disposal or recycling, equipment gets blown off and put away, and the day ends at the yard, not on a highway somewhere.

Straight about it

What this work
asks of you.

We would rather you know this now than find it out in week two. None of it is unusual for outdoor work, but all of it is real.

The honest part

  • It is physical. You are lifting, carrying, bending and walking properties all day.
  • It is outside. Heat in July, cold in January, and wet in between.
  • Mornings start early, and snow does not care what day of the week it is.
  • Fall is the longest stretch of the year, and everybody feels it.

What actually matters to us

  • You show up, on the day, at the time, ready to work.
  • You treat somebody's property like it is your own, because that is the whole promise we make them.
  • You look after the equipment, and you say something when it needs attention instead of hiding it.
  • You are alright to be around in a truck for eight hours.
  • Experience is welcome, but nobody needs it to start. We will teach you.
