Grounds maintenance
Our Grounds team maintains UNT's grassy areas, landscape beds, trees, irrigation, areas near roadways, parking lots and campus buildings, and recreational sports fields. They are also called upon to help with snow/ice clean up, maintain concrete or hardscape, pressure washing, pest control, animal control, recycling and trash. For any other type of maintenance, please consult with our Work Control team or fill out a Service Request because there may be a fee associated with that need.
Our Grounds team takes great pride in their work and UNT is consistently designated as a Bee Campus USA (in association with our Bee Campus Committee), an Audubon Bird Campus (in association with our Bird Campus Committee), and a Tree Campus USA with the help of Grounds' dedication and efforts.
