Hardscape Foreman (Lead Builder) — High-End Outdoor Living

Local Roots Landscaping | Pittsburgh (report to North Versailles shop) | Full-Time $25–$40/hr + bonus opportunities (DOE) | 40–55 hrs/week

You’re a foreman who cares about doing it right — clean layout, tight lines, solid base, walls that last, and a crew that gets better because you’re leading it.

At Local Roots, foremen are not micromanaged — they get trusted, supported, and held accountable. We build high-end outdoor living spaces and we take pride in craftsmanship and professionalism on every site.

What you’ll run (real work, not busywork)

• Paver patios + walkways
• Segmental retaining walls
• Outdoor kitchens, fire features, stone + concrete work
• Grading/excavation/drainage tied into hardscape installs
• Occasional carpentry tie-ins (as needed)

What your week looks like

• Lead a crew (typically 2–5 people depending on job size)
• Hands-on building + directing production
• Morning plan, material checks, and keeping the site moving
• Equipment operation (skid, mini, excavator as needed)

• Maintain a clean, safe site and a professional client experience
