Grounds Maintenance

Mission

The mission of BYU - "founded, supported, and guided by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - is to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life. That assistance should provide a period of intensive learning in a stimulating setting where a commitment to excellence is expected and the full realization of human potential is pursued".

The Grounds Section is committed to doing their part by creating an inspiring outdoor setting for all faculty, employees, student, and visitors to BYU. The Grounds Section has set a standard of excellence in all of their endeavors.
