Grounds Maintenance Services
For universities, colleges and government facilities: full grounds maintenance planned around your calendar, measured, and handled by the same team that runs your custodial program.
Contract Service Solutions (CSS) provides full grounds maintenance services for universities, colleges and government facilities. That covers large-scale mowing and landscape services, tree maintenance, pest control services, pressure washing, pond maintenance, and grading and surface work, scheduled around the academic and event calendar rather than a fixed route. CSS can run grounds alongside custodial and facility maintenance, with one point of accountability.

Planned Around Your Calendar
Campus grounds are judged on specific days: admissions tours, move-in, homecoming, commencement. A grounds program that runs the same route every week can't put extra hands where those days need them. CSS plans grounds work the way a Living Facility plans custodial work: from what's actually happening on campus.
One Team for Custodial, Grounds and Maintenance
When custodial, grounds and facility maintenance are separate contracts, the gaps fall between them: the entrance no one owns, the storm debris that sits until someone complains. CSS can run all three, with one point of accountability and quality inspections that cover the outside of the building as well as the inside.
