First impressions are important, and
grounds maintenance is a serious issue on campus. Responsible for
providing a safe and properly maintained landscape, Grounds Services
successfully achieves that mission by integrating landscape design and
maintenance to provide a clean, safe, attractive, and functional
outdoor campus,
while preserving and enhancing its natural beauty. The appearance of
