Advancement Prospects
In general, landscapers can expect to advance as they gain experience and additional educational training. For example, a greenskeeper with a high school diploma usually must have at least some college training to become a greens superintendent. It is also possible to go into a related field, such as selling equipment used in maintaining lawns and other natural areas.
In some instances, skilled landscapers with years of experience may start their own consulting or contracting business.
