Landscape Services

Mizzou’s picturesque campus has long been one of its trademarks. A certified botanic garden and arboretum, Mizzou’s 1,252 acres host 45,000 students, faculty, staff and visitors daily. With close to 6,000 trees and 200-plus plant varieties planting and maintenance are a year-round endeavor.

Tending to Mizzou’s picturesque campus is Mizzou’s Landscape Services — planting, trimming, weeding, snowplowing, hauling and tidying — a small but mighty team of specialists behind and in front of the scenes. It’s a responsibility the staff of Landscape Services and Mizzou Botanic Garden take great pride in.

What We Do

When you think of a registered botanic garden, what comes to mind? Maybe it’s the Missouri Botanic Garden in St. Louis or the Smithsonian Gardens in Washington, D.C. What you might not know, however, is that there’s a botanic garden right beneath your feet. The Mizzou campus was established as a certified botanic garden in 1999.
