Grounds maintenance is the day-to-day upkeep of green areas, paved surfaces, and public facilities to keep the living environment clean, safe, and functional.

It includes activities such as mowing, weed control, litter removal, and tree care. Everything that is needed to keep outdoor spaces tidy, safe, and pleasant to use.

In most cases, local authorities are responsible for keeping parks, green areas and public spaces maintained. They set the standards, define priorities and decide how the work is organised.

Daily execution is carried out by a mix of contractors and in-house operational teams of local authorities, handling tasks such as mowing, weed control, litter removal, and tree care.

Jewel supports both sides with centralised task management, planning and real‑time reporting, ensuring that municipalities keep oversight while contractors can execute work efficiently and transparently.

Weed control

Weed control is essential for maintaining clean, safe, and accessible public spaces. Jewel supports structured planning, clear execution, and reliable reporting, even under changing growth and weather conditions.

Street Cleansing

Street cleansing directly affects the appearance and liveability of public spaces. Jewel provides real-time insight into progress and helps teams coordinate routes, tasks, and quality consistently.

Mowing

Mowing requires careful planning to avoid missed areas, unnecessary work, or ecological damage. Jewel supports clear digital planning and execution, with full visibility for both field teams and planners.

Side Waste

Side waste creates pollution, complaints, and unplanned work in public spaces. Jewel enables fast digital registration, clear follow-up, and insight into recurring problem locations.

Waste Bins

Managing public waste bins requires frequent monitoring and flexible response. Jewel supports clear task allocation, real-time updates, and reliable reporting on emptying and maintenance activities.

Graffiti Removal

Graffiti removal needs fast response and clear documentation to limit impact and repeat incidents. Jewel enables digital registration, efficient planning, and transparent reporting of completed actions.

Gully Cleaning

Regular gully cleaning prevents flooding and unsafe conditions in public spaces. Jewel supports inspection, planning, and execution with real-time insight and clear accountability.

Oak Processionary Moth Control

Controlling oak processionary moth is essential for public health and safety. Jewel supports digital mapping of nests, efficient planning of control measures, and clear reporting to stakeholders.

FAQ - Grounds Maintenance

Find the answer to frequently asked questions about Jewel Software Grounds Maintanence.

Grounds maintenance is about taking care of everything that residents of a municipality see and use on a daily basis. This includes streets, green areas, playgrounds and many other public locations. Grounds maintenance therefore covers both the upkeep of green spaces and the wider management of outdoor areas. The goal is clear: keeping the environment clean, safe and liveable.

The primary responsibility for grounds maintenance lies with local authorities. They must organise and carry out maintenance effectively, often involving contractors or other external parties to perform specific tasks with specialist expertise. Increasingly, councils are also turning to digital tools. Jewel Software is one of these solutions, helping to manage processes in a smarter and more efficient way.

2 training sessions of approximately 1.5 hours.

First a Kick-off meeting in which goals and an implementation schedule are set. Then follow the training sessions (2 per work type) training 1: work preparation / training 2: making and planning of routes. Apart from the training we have a meeting once a month in which we monitor the progress of the implementation process.

Because of the diversity of work types are supported in Tasks, we did not see a need yet, but might develop this in the future.

No we cannot link persons and vehicles to routes (this is due to privacy issues). Also a link with a capacity planning system is currently not possible. This may become possible in the future.
