What does a groundskeeper do?

A groundskeeper is responsible for maintaining the outdoor areas of properties such as parks, schools, sports fields, and commercial or residential complexes. Their duties typically include mowing lawns, trimming shrubs, watering plants, planting flowers, raking leaves, and removing debris. Groundskeepers may also care for irrigation systems, apply fertilizers or pesticides, and perform minor repairs to outdoor facilities. Their goal is to keep the grounds attractive, healthy, and safe for visitors and residents.
