Topic: Hiring a gardener
Zook & Oleson Gardening estan contratando maintenance gardeners.
Experience as a landscaper is not necessary, we can train – but you must speak Spanish. (English is nice but not required.)
Pay starts at $11.50/hr, with prompt raises for demonstrated experience. The position is full time – well, more than full time, really, as we are very busy and generally work 10 hour days. If you need the day off work, that’s usually okay, but if you come in you’ll need to stay until we’re done, usually about 6pm.
We start in West Seattle at 7:30am. You will need to bring your lunch already packed. We drive company trucks to the clients, so your own vehicle or drivers license is not required. The work will initially include the basic tools of lawn care (mowers, edgers and blowers) but would eventually evolve into plant care, container work and fine pruning.
After 90 days, you accrue 6 paid sick days a year, per Seattle city law. All federal holidays except Columbus Day are paid days off (usually that’s 9 a year.) Overtime is paid at time and half, and we are always in overtime. (So a 50 hour work week is normal, but pays 55 hours.) The work is very physical and you must be able to lift 50 lbs.
We work year round with no layoffs. We don’t work Saturdays or Sundays. We’re not looking for a part timer or someone just for the summer – ideally you will dive in and be part of our close-knit crew, every day, for years to come.
We have been around 15 years. We love to work where we live (in West Seattle) but you will also get see some of the great estates of Capitol Hill, Hunts Point, and Medina. We have great employees and wonderful clients, and very little turnover in either. Please call Ben at (206) 595.2793 to discuss, or email ben@zaogardening.com.
Hasta hablamos, muchas gracias!
What is the process for requesting speed bumps along this very busy, and sometimes dangerous, street because of the speeding cars. Any input would be appreciated.

Hello all – need to have an old fence replaced and looking for recommendations. Simple home, nothing high-end required but at the risk of stating the obvious, would like good value, a long lasting fence, and quality work. The only recommendations I found on the blog were from 2007. Any recent tips/referrals are most appreciated!
Thank you!
West Seattle, Washington
