Groundskeeper Jobs in Tennessee

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.

As for skills and certifications, proficient groundskeepers should possess a strong knowledge of horticulture and landscaping techniques. Some positions may require a certification or degree in horticulture, landscaping, or a related field. Essential skills include physical stamina, attention to detail, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to operate and maintain various types of landscaping equipment. Prior to becoming a Groundskeeper, a person may have roles such as a Landscaping Laborer, a Nursery Assistant, or a Garden Center Employee. These jobs offer valuable hands-on experience and understanding of plants and outdoor maintenance, serving as stepping stones towards a Groundskeeper position.
