Horticulture and grounds management

Operational and management support for parks, grounds maintenance, amenity horticulture, arboricultural works and sports surfaces, from someone who has run these services rather than only advised on them.

What this covers

  • Grounds maintenance across parks, open spaces, cemeteries and estates
  • Amenity horticulture, supported by Level 4 knowledge and operational experience
  • Management and coordination of arboricultural works
  • Sports turf and playing surfaces
  • Machinery and equipment: risk, competence and training requirements
  • Contractor and service management: specifications, monitoring and service standards
  • Service reviews and improvement planning

When you might need this

  • You are re-letting a grounds maintenance contract and need a workable specification and monitoring regime
  • Service standards have slipped and you want an independent view on resources, methods and equipment
  • Tree works need coordinating between contractors, residents and other services
  • You need a review of machinery risk and operator competence across the team

Qualifications and experience

Level 4 Amenity Horticulture; NPTC machinery disciplines; senior operational management of parks, cemeteries, cleansing, sports surfaces, nursery and arboricultural services.
