WHO WE ARE

We love to work outdoors, beautify communities, and improve the environment. Our office can be anywhere from a backyard to a lakefront to a rooftop garden to maintaining the lawn of a large campus. We work on cool projects that other companies don’t have the experience or the capabilities to tackle, all while using the latest and greatest equipment and technology. And we do it while making sustainability a priority.

Our landscape services include design, construction and property management. With 250 team members, we are one of the largest landscape companies in the nation. Nearly 100 crews are dispatched daily to residential and public job sites from our headquarters in Germantown and branches in Milwaukee, Madison, Kenosha, Brookfield, and the North Shore.

Our projects have been recognized with hundreds of local, state, and national awards for excellence. Customers looking for a premium brand think David J. Frank Landscape Contracting.

FUN STUFF

WORK HERE TODAY!

We offer a wide range of services for every season so we hire professionals in many disciplines. The obvious: landscape architects, horticulturist, crew leaders, technicians, irrigation personnel, and nursery staff. And the not so obvious: mechanics, carpenters, schedulers, and accounting and administrative staff. Our paid, on-site training and education provides advancement opportunities for employees. That means no experience is necessary. Also, our in-house career fairs allow employees to explore working in other areas of the company. The prestige of working for Southeastern Wisconsin’s premier landscape company has its perks.

COMPANY INFO

Frank Ryan III | Crew Leader: Landscape Construction Department

YEARS AT DAVID J FRANK: 19
EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION: Internal Training

What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?
I manage and assist crews on commercial and residential job sites. I make sure projects are done safely, on time, on budget and meet high-quality standards.

How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path?
I started off by going to college. But after some time there–and advice from my dad–I chose this career path, which was better suited for me. I hope to become a Senior Crew Leader and eventually a Production Supervisor.

What is the best part about your job?
There is such satisfaction turning nothing into something beautiful. My favorite part is seeing the smiles on clients’ faces when they see the finished project.

Brian Romagnoli | Crew Leader: Landscape Construction Department

YEARS AT DAVID J FRANK: 12
EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION: Landscape Horticulture Associate Program from MATC

What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?
I run a crew of 2-4 technicians from start to finish on a project. I oversee and coordinate work, make sure it’s completed on time, and under or at budget.

How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path?
I started with a two-year Landscape Horticulture associate degree from MATC. When I was hired I received training from an experienced team member. Since then, I have continued to use the company’s internal training programs.

What is the best part about your job?
I love seeing a space transform, taking a visual sketch-up and bringing an architect’s vision to life.
