Inspiring Hope, Opportunity & Success

 “The training program that I lead on Treasure Island is for six months and we teach about a lot of stuff to prepare them with the skills to understand all aspects of landscaping. From using the tools, understanding how regenerative landscaping works, sustainability, native plants to life skills that are important everyday. It’s a program that when people complete it, they come out with a lot of knowledge and are ready for jobs. That’s a start for them.”

– Juan Hernandez, Operations Manager Treasure Island

Meet the Special People at Rubicon 

“The type of work we do is challenging. We are not just landscapers. We are not just a service. We are not just a place to help people learn job skills and support people to get back on their feet. It’s more than that. The people who work at Rubicon bring a very unique mentality, a very unique sense of empathy, and love to the job. And that’s what makes Rubicon very special.”

Maintenance, Crew Leader, and Trimmer

Rubicon has good benefits and motivates me everyday

I started as a trainee. We do everything from Parks to Residential. We cut the lawns, we also work with the native plants at Yerba Buena Hills.  What I like about Rubicon Landscape is that we are like a family.  We can express ourselves freely. The managers and supervisors treat us like a family. They instruct us on how to continue moving forward. To not to get stuck on being a gardener one, but to be crew leader one, and then crew leader two. They also motivate us every day on how to become better people.

I would recommend Rubicon Landscape because it is a company that gives you a lot of opportunities to continue growing. You learn a lot, and has good benefits, it motivates you every day and you move up in the chain. You start as a gardener and then move up to Crew leader one and then two. My bosses motivate me and their like example for me.

In the training program that Rubicon Landscape has, I learned about the native plants and what the invasive plants are. We learn everything about the gardening, like how to use the tools. My crew leader taught me how to use the shears to trim and how to use the blower. Every one is a family in Rubicon Landscape.

Rubicon is my second home

At the moment I am a Crew leader, but I started as a regular worker and then I got promoted as a lead and then Crew Leader. I found out about Rubicon through a program by the stores “Goodwill”. While I worked for them, they had programs that help people in the program find jobs in different areas.  I enjoy working at Rubicon Landscapes because I like gardening. I like to learn what I have until this point. Which is irrigation, sprinklers, trees and general maintenance. 

The different work that Rubicon Landscape is doing is very important because it’s working with the native plants. We have a crew that has train very hard to learn how to maintain the native plants and remove the invasive plants. 

I would recommend people to apply for Rubicon Landscape because Rubicon has a lot of different programs and stages to learn. I started from square one and I didn’t know anything about gardening. Now I know how to trim trees and at what time of the year and their names, irrigation and general maintenance. I would recommend for them to apply and give themeselves a chance. You’re not going to regret it. Now I see Rubicon as my second home.
