Grounds Management provides routine grounds maintenance and landscaping services for the University. We strive to maintain and enhance the natural beauty of the UAH campus. We are proud recipients of the Tree Campus USA recognition by the National Arbor Day Foundation for six collective years (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2023, 2024). The UAH campus is also a proud honor roll winner of the Huntsville Beautification Awards, most recently for 2024. We are pleased to share that for the first time The University of Alabama in Huntsville won the Award of Excellence as the Most Outstanding Property in District 4 in 2024.
