About Us

Our Mission

The Mission of the Stanford University Grounds Services Department is to provide a beautiful outdoor experience for students, faculty, staff and visitors.

Our department is staffed with licensed, certified and highly trained technical staff in the fields of horticulture, pest management, turf management, arboriculture, water management and landscape construction and design. We pride ourselves in being the in-house service of choice since the beginning of the University. We provide a stewardship role in the proper care of all outdoor facilities. We are prompt, efficient, and professional in appearance and duties. We "tailor make" our services and are immediately responsive to our diverse clientele.
