Some tips to prepare your lawn for service are: Clear any obstacles or debris from your yard, such as toys, furniture, hoses, or branches. Unlock any gates or fences that may block access to your yard. Keep your pets inside your home or in a secure area away from the workers and equipment. Mark any sprinkler heads or hidden wires that may be damaged by the lawn care equipment. Inform your lawn care provider of any special instructions or concerns about your lawn.
