Currently the chances of qualified Landscaping and Grounds Maintenance Managers finding employment are considered to be fair in the local area. An ageing population should continue to increase demand for residential landscaping services. Many landscape businesses are small operations and are managed by the owner operator. Work is typically seasonal, which can cause some turnover.

In addition to employment opportunities locally, opportunities may exist in other areas of the province or in other regions of the country. People who are able to work elsewhere may want to research opportunities for this occupation in other labour markets within Nova Scotia and across the country. The future employment outlook for Landscaping and Grounds Maintenance Managers in Nova Scotia is expected to be fair over the next 5 years.
