About the role
Hard Landscaper — Oxfordshire and surrounding counties. Self-employed profit-share role, not a wage. You keep 25% of every job KJ Landscaping routes to you. We survey and price with the client; you receive a spec'd job with drawing, material list and access confirmed. You'll be sent to patios, garden walls, steps, sleeper features, timber and composite fencing, garden drainage runs, and hard-standing installs. Most jobs are 3–8 days on site; larger garden makeovers run 2–3 weeks with a labourer. Jobs are dispatched via the KJ portal with the drawing, materials schedule, delivery slots and any tree/drain caveats already agreed with the client. Tickets are typically £2,500–£15,000+. Suits an experienced hard landscaper with own plant (whacker plate, disc cutter, hand tools; mini digger a plus) and van/trailer. Not for soft-landscape-only gardeners — that pipeline sits with the KJ Domestic Gardener role.

Do the work, get paid your share
Complete the job, mark it done in the portal. KJ invoices the customer. Your share lands on the regular payment cycle — no chasing, no unpaid quotes.

Why KJ, not a company job
A plumber does 3–4 jobs a day; a surveyor 2–4; a solicitor a handful of matters. The client pays hundreds — often thousands. You take home a fraction. The company keeps the rest.
