Grounds maintenance focuses on keeping a facility’s outdoor areas neat and presentable. Grounds maintenance refers to activities undertaken to keep outdoor areas clean, beautiful, and orderly. It includes activities such as pruning, landscaping, and mowing. It can also be extended to indoor gardens, nurseries, and potted plants. Regular grounds maintenance helps to keep your site clear and maintain the highest level of safety, protecting your clients, visitors and staff from accidents and injuries from things such as loose paving, slippery surfaces and other risks that occur when outdoor areas are left uncared for. When the landscape is properly maintained and healthy, it will feel better to spend time on the property. A tidy, trim lawn will ease the mind and allow you to relax. The greenery actually increases cortisol levels, giving you a more peaceful, calm feeling when you walk through the property.
