Seeking 18 Temp/FT positions in the following counties: Colorado: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson, Larimer, Weld | Job Duties: Winter weather landscaping duties involve preparing and maintaining outdoor spaces during the colder months, ensuring they remain safe, functional, and visually appealing. While the tasks may differ depending on the climate and severity of winter in a particular region, here are some common responsibilities for winter weather landscaping: Snow and Ice Removal: One of the primary tasks in winter landscaping is the removal of snow and ice. This includes clearing driveways, walkways, and parking areas to ensure safe passage. Snow shoveling, snow blowing, and salting or sanding are typical methods used to keep surfaces clear. Winter landscaping job duties involve the installation of seasonal decorations like holiday lights, wreaths, or garlands. Laborers may be responsible for safely installing and maintaining these decorations. Pruning and Trimming: Will be done from ground level by worker using hand tools. Winter is an excellent time to prune and trim trees and shrubs while they are dormant. Proper pruning techniques help maintain the health and shape of plants, promote growth, and prevent damage from heavy snow or ice buildup. Trimming also keeps branches away from structures and walkways, reducing the risk of accidents. Protecting Plants: Certain plants may need protection from freezing temperatures. This involves wrapping sensitive plants with burlap or installing temporary covers to shield them from cold winds and frost. Mulching around the base of plants helps retain moisture and insulate the soil, providing an additional layer of protection. Clearing Debris: Winter storms can bring down branches, leaves, and other debris that clutter the landscape. Clearing these materials not only improves the appearance of the property but also prevents potential hazards, such as obstructed pathways or damaged plants. Winterizing Irrigation Systems: It's essential to inspect and winterize them before freezing temperatures arrive which involves draining water from the pipes and shutting off the system to prevent damage from frozen water expanding within the lines. Monitoring Drainage: Winter brings rain and melting snow, and it's important to ensure that water properly drains away from the property. Clearing leaves and debris from gutters, downspouts, and drains prevents blockages and potential water damage to buildings or landscaping.
