What Does a Lawn and Sprinkler Contractor Do?

Lawn and sprinkler contractors can plant and maintain grass and other landscape plantings in your home; mow, weed and perform other maintenance; and install sprinkler systems to keep the lawn well hydrated. These pros are trained to help you choose the ideal type of grass for your soil, sow grass seeds or lay sod and ensure that the lawn stays trimmed, weed free and healthy. Lawn and sprinkler contractors also can work with homeowners to develop a sprinkler system plan, as well as install and maintain it.

Your lawn and sprinkler contractor might work closely with a landscape professional, too. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of lawn & sprinklers: Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Landscape Contractors, Garden & Landscape Supplies.
