• Applied mulch to garden beds for protection against weeds and unwanted growth.
• Installed stonework according to landscape design plan and client specifications.

• Removed existing flooring to prepare floor surfaces for new flooring.
• Measured, cut and installed tack-free strips along baseboards or walls.
• Operated hand tools and machines to cut material and achieve proper fit around obstructions.
• Worked with different adhesives to join foundation, flooring and wall materials.
