Program Information
Landscape & Grounds
The Grounds Maintenance team is committed to providing safe, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing grounds for the Campus community by maintaining our landscape such as plants, groundcover, shrubbery, and trees. Our team also maintains all hardscape and streetscape area within Parnassus, Mission Bay, Mount Zion campuses, as well as outlying campus. In addition, we are managing Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve, to maintains our community commitment, and goals for sustainability, and biodiversity.
Since 2008, the Grounds Maintenance team has eliminated the use of herbicides, such as Round Up, on our Campuses. Our team uses steaming, burning, and other manual technics to control weeds on our Campuses. The Grounds Maintenance staff is responsible for keeping the exterior of our campuses clean, safe, and attractive. Over time, Grounds is moving our older landscaping into more sustainable designs that includes ecological and biodiversity values.
