Pitch maintenance workers

Groundsmen is the plural of groundsman, a person responsible for maintaining the grounds of a park, sports field, estate, or similar outdoor space.

The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say groundskeeper: The groundsmen prepared the pitch before the match.

The work involves mowing, landscaping, and general upkeep of outdoor areas.
