  • Maintaining the driveways clean of leaves and undertaking pressure cleaning to keep them sparkling
  • Trimming plants and maintaining high aesthetic appeal of the outdoor space
  • Supervising juniors and allocating responsibilities with regard to groundskeeper duties
  • In case there are manmade ponds and birdbaths in the garden, then cleaning them regularly
