The Landscaping Operations program prepares students to practise the trade or occupation of landscape worker. Landscape workers are employed by landscapers, municipalities, government departments and nurseries. After working for a few years, some may even start up their own business. Landscape workers install gardens and maintain grounds. They also build wooden structures such as benches, arbours and pergolas, build stone walls and rock gardens, and install concrete features such as walkways and patios. Landscape workers work with inert and living materials such as flowers, trees and shrubs. They are concerned with sustainable development and use pesticides in conformity with legislation as part of an integrated pest management program. Landscape workers generally work in teams, referring to plans and specifications and using tools and machinery. They operate excavators and compacting equipment and handle measuring instruments and hand tools. Their work may require them to communicate with clients, suppliers and other workers.

This table indicates the new course codes for common core basic education (CCBE) and diversified basic education (DBE) required for the specific prerequisites in language of instruction and mathematics for the targeted program of study. In the cases where the new course codes for the CCBE and the DBE are in progressive implementation, the old codes are indicated in parenthesis and are still valid.

Landscapers design and build gardens. They design wood and stone structures, build paved pathways and terraces. They maintain flowers, shrubs, trees and lawns. This is a demanding but rewarding job for those who enjoy working outdoors, have good physical stamina and possess good communication skills. A job as a landscaper is suitable for self-reliant and meticulous people who have a developed sense of aesthetics and a taste for business.
