Working as a Groundskeeper

By ACS Distance Education on November 19, 2025 in Gardening & Getting Work, Earning Income | comments

Groundskeeper is a title commonly given to someone responsible for caring for the grounds on a property such as a school, hospital, public institution or even large private estate. The work might be primarily the same as a gardener, but may sometimes involve general property maintenance tasks that go beyond what a gardener normally does.  Groundskeepers tend to work alone or with an assistant, perhaps responsible directly to the manager or owner of the larger property where they work. This might be different to a gardener who may work under direction from a garden supervisor or horticultural manager.
