Grounds Maintenance Division

Our grounds division is responsible for the maintenance of all of our schools’ landscaping, green spaces, athletic fields, roads, and parking lots. The Union 46 district includes approximately 100 acres to mow and maintain with 10 athletic fields to groom and line. Along with maintaining the U46 grounds, the grounds crews must also be responsible for our 4 elementary schools, several out buildings, and 3 public parks, one of which has 2 municipal pools and a lighted baseball stadium. These areas make up an additional 100 acres and 218,000 square feet to be mowed and maintained. During the winter months the grounds maintenance division, salts, shovels, and plows all of the district’s parking lots, sidewalks, and entry ways. Our grounds crew also makes deliveries to all area schools and central office, as well as assisting all other Facilities Management Teams within the department with maintenance needs.
