Qualified from the ground up

摘要

In many ways, the grounds care industry has changed little in the past 20 years. It still demands a large number of people equipped with mainly practical skills, who are prepared to go out in all weathers to take care of large, predominantly grassed areas. Yet there have been changes. The technology has moved on, so that an increasing number of people are using grass systems -with plastic reinforcement incorporated into the turf. This is most often used on professional sports grounds or in areas such as paths, which have to withstand a large amount of pedestrian or vehicle traffic.
