Grounds Maintenance strives to maintain and service an aesthetically pleasing environment that reflects desert beauty and inspiration that is safe for all of those that attend, live, work and visit our campuses. The Tempe campus participates on a daily basis in all four goals of Arizona State University’s Strategic Plan for Sustainability Practices and Operations.

West campus
The Grounds Services Team is responsible to the campus community for a beautifully groomed and safe environment consisting of desert plants, trees and shrubbery, grass, and flower beds on 300 acres, of which approximately 80 acres are cultivated. The team is dedicated to providing cost effective landscaping services and water conservation. On campus there are 2 wells which provide the water to maintain the plants. The water is pumped from the wells to a 100,000 gallon underground storage tank. Through the Maxicom 2 computer system, the water is pumped from the storage tank to the plants.
