Grounds Maintenance

Grounds Maintenance is responsible for maintaining the grounds of the campus, including all Arboretum plant material and arboretum sponsored projects. Grounds Construction is responsible for most major grounds repair and construction work. They provide large earth project services such as trenching, excavating, and terrain enhancement.

Services are generally available at no charge to the requesting department, excepting auxiliary enterprises. Auxiliaries are organizations such as the Memorial Union, Residence Life and Parking & Transit that provide specialized support services to the University, usually at a specified fee.
