Groundskeeper Jobs in Indiana

A Groundskeeper in the landscaping industry plays an integral role in maintaining the aesthetic and functional aspects of outdoor spaces. They are responsible for a wide variety of tasks which may include mowing lawns, pruning trees and shrubs, fertilizing plants, maintaining irrigation systems, and removing waste and litter. They also assist in diagnosing and treating plant diseases and pests, ensuring the health and vitality of all flora within their care. Additionally, they may assist with landscape design and installation, providing input based on their extensive knowledge of plant care and growth requirements.
