Commission-Based Landscape Designer / Sales Consultant

Sun Control Landscapes is a family-owned landscape company serving the Phoenix Valley for 15+ years. We specialize in high-end outdoor living transformations including custom pavers, artificial turf, outdoor kitchens, BBQ islands, fire features, pergolas, landscape lighting, and complete backyard renovations.

We are looking to add a skilled Landscape Designer / Sales Consultant who can take a client’s vision, turn it into a professional design, and help close projects from consultation to completion.

This is a commission-based opportunity designed for someone who has the experience and confidence to meet with homeowners, create buildable designs, present solutions, and help sell high-value landscape projects.

Who This Role Is For

We are looking for someone who understands Arizona landscapes and can confidently communicate with homeowners.

Ideal candidates

• Have 2+ years of landscape design and/or landscape sales experience
• Have strong knowledge of Phoenix-area plants, desert landscaping, and nursery availability
• Understand what plants/materials work in Arizona climates
• Can meet with clients and confidently guide design decisions
• Can create professional landscape concepts using the tools they prefer (3D design software, CAD, SketchUp, hand sketches, plan view layouts, etc.)

Landscape Experience Candidates

If you have 5+ years of hands-on landscape installation experience and understand construction, plants, irrigation, hardscape, and outdoor spaces, we believe you can successfully transition into landscape design and sales.

Because this is a commission-based role, we are not expecting to provide expensive design equipment, software setups, or a full design department. We are looking for someone who can utilize their own skills and preferred tools to create professional, buildable designs.

As the role grows, opportunities may become available for additional support such as

• Gas card assistance
• Additional benefits
• Potential company vehicle opportunities
