Why People Stay

The first person Scott Fullerton hired is still here more than twenty-five years later. That is unusual in this trade, and it is deliberate.

The company invests in people who want to build something: training, certification, equipment that works, and supervisors who came up the same way. Scott has said plainly that his motivation is the team that depends on the business, and the way the company is run reflects that.

The FGM Apprenticeship Program

Fullerton Grounds Maintenance runs a two-year Landscape Management apprenticeship in partnership with the National Association of Landscape Professionals. At launch it was one of only three such programs in New Jersey.

  • 2,000 hours of paid on-the-job training, 144 hours of online classroom instruction, one-on-one mentorship with the owner and executive managers, and college credit paid for by the company.
  • A Landscape Management certification recognized nationwide, plus a specialization track in Grounds Maintenance, Design and Build, or Residential Services.
  • Team members who want to move from crew work into supervision, account management, or design. The first class began in January 2020 and graduated in March 2022.

Roles the Company Hires For

Maintenance crew member. Crew leader. Irrigation technician. Plant health care and IPM technician. Hardscape and construction crew. Equipment operator. Account manager. Snow operations driver and shoveler.

What the Company Looks For

Showing up matters more than experience. Crews are trained in house, and several current supervisors started with no landscape background at all.

What does not get taught is reliability, care about how a property looks when the truck pulls away, and willingness to tell a manager what you noticed. A valid driver's license helps for most roles. Spanish and English are both spoken across crews.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Maintenance runs spring through fall, enhancements and construction fill the shoulder seasons, and snow and ice operations cover winter. Most crew roles carry through all four.
  • Entry-level crew roles require none. Training happens on site, and the apprenticeship exists specifically to move people up from there.
  • Nothing. The company pays for the college credit, and the on-the-job hours are paid hours.
  • The main yard is in Kenvil, with satellite locations in Ledgewood, Morristown, and Whitehouse Station. Assignments generally follow the closest yard.
