WHAT WE DO

At Stepping Stone Landscaping, we’re known for dependable, high-quality lawn and landscape services. Behind every successful route, every polished property, and every satisfied client is a Production Manager who keeps things moving — on time, on budget, and with pride.

This role is key to our field operations. We have 20-30 employees in the field across roughly ten crews. You’ll manage these team members on a day to day basis, meaning you’ll coach crew leaders, manage the flow of jobs, ensure equipment is ready, and handle the curveballs that come with seasonal service. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where people, processes, and results all matter—you’ve found your fit.

• Reliability. We believe in unwavering reliability.

• Integrity. We believe that integrity is paramount. Always do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

• Communication. We believe that communication is king. There’s no such thing as too much of it.

• Hustle. Hustle feeds hunger. Our team has drive.

• Attitude. Positive attitudes are contagious.

• Family Focused. Our atmosphere is family focused. Our team feels good being here.
