Groundskeepers are responsible for the general maintenance and upkeep of an outdoor setting. They work for private and public companies, sports facilities, and public parks where their primary duty is to ensure the upkeep of the grounds.
They perform many activities like weeding, planting, mulching, and mowing to make the area designated to them, into a piece of art. Also, they perform duties such as pesticide control and ensuring that the grounds are free of litter at all times.
Cover letters for groundskeeper or groundsman positions need a little extra spice in them. It should precisely chart out the candidate’s ability to work outdoors and his/her knowledge of following precise instructions for landscaping activities.

Dear Mr. Hemmingway:
Your posting for a Groundskeeper indicated requirements that match my aesthetic sense and background in the landscaping arena. I acknowledge the fact that the grounds of your company are quite vastly spread and only the best maintenance crew can truly do justice to them.
Extensive experience as a groundskeeper is not my sole virtue. I take a personal interest in all tasks that I do and this can be seen in my work. Although I have advanced knowledge of mixing and using pesticides, I prefer to work organically as much as I can and only take the assistance of pesticides when it becomes necessary. I can operate automatic mowers and am able to maintain other tools and equipment used for landscaping and maintenance.
In addition to this, I have tremendous insight when it comes to managing planting activities as I have been formally trained in the different factors that affect different types of trees. I was awarded a mid-year bonus for carving out immaculate shapes from bushes and trees, the photographs of which were published in Amazing Décor.
Working for ETS will provide me with a great challenge that I am excited to take. I am available at (000) 451-7845 if you need any information that can expedite the selection procedure.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincere regards,
Brad Collins
