About Wearthy
At Wearthy, we believe play can change lives. We design and build bespoke nature-inspired playscapes and environments that nurture creativity, resilience, and connection in children. Our projects span childcare centres, schools, and community spaces across Australia and beyond.
Our approach is shaped by the Ecology of Play - a philosophy that recognises children thrive when play environments are diverse, natural, and connected. Every boulder, tree, sandpit, and log has a role in sparking curiosity, imagination, and discovery.

The Role
We’re looking for an experienced Landscaper with a love for horticulture and planting to help bring our playscapes to life. This role is about more than building landscapes—it’s about shaping environments where children play, learn, and grow.
As a landscaper with us you’ll work across both softscapes (the living, green elements) and hardscapes (the built, structural features). At Wearthy, this includes:
- Softscapes for Playscapes: soil preparation, turfing, planting sensory gardens, mulching, and establishing shade trees that encourage nature play.
- Hardscapes for Playscapes: constructing sandpits, edging, retaining walls, decking and pergolas, pathways, natural climbing features, timber log steppers, and integrating stone and water play elements.
Every project you build will directly contribute to the ecology of play—helping children connect with nature, take risks safely, and develop resilience through outdoor learning.
This is a full time role worked across 4 days (Fridays off), giving you balance, breathing space, and energy to bring your best to work and life.

Ideally You Have
- Cert III in Landscape Construction or related qualification

- A genuine passion for horticulture, planting, and child-focused design
