WAUWATOSA (WITI) -- If you're looking for a new job, landscaping could be the business for you.

A recent uptick in landscape sales has some area businesses on a hiring spree.

Hawks Landscape in Wauwatosa is holding a job fair this weekend screening for hires in positions from design and sales to construction and maintenance.

Applicants with a background in horticulture or landscape trades are preferred. The company is holding on-site interviews.

"We've anticipated quite an increase in sales, we had a heck of a year last season, we've got a lot of work sold for the upcoming season and we need a lot of people to put it in," said Gary Urban, landscape architect.
