ABOUT US
J. L. Young Landscapes is a high-end residential landscape design-build company in our seventh year, known throughout southern Maine and the New Hampshire seacoast for exceptional stone masonry and distinctive outdoor environments. Our projects range from $100,000 to $500,000 and every one of them reflects the standard of craft we hold ourselves to.

THE OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a skilled stone mason who is serious about their craft and ready to grow into more. You will work directly under our Lead Mason and Field Foreman — an experienced craftsman who will push your skills and hold you to a high standard.
We are not just filling a position. We are building a team for the long term. For the right person, there is a clear and genuine path to becoming a Lead Mason as the company grows.

Craft Work:
- Execute dry stack and wet-laid natural stone installations under the direction of our Lead Mason

- Learn from every project and apply that knowledge to the next one
Field Contribution:
- Work as an active, contributing member of a 4–5 person field crew
- Assist with site prep, material handling, and hardscape installation as needed
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site at all times
- Show up ready, communicate openly, and take ownership of your work
Growth Path:
- Demonstrate your abilities consistently and take on increasing responsibility over time
- Develop field leadership skills with direct mentorship from our Lead Mason
- Build toward a Lead Mason role as the company grows
