Subcontracting and Outsourcing the work of mowing, grounds maintenance, irrigation installations and service, hydroseeding, snow plowing and removal and other work is typical when the contractor doesn't have the equipment, expertise or employees to do the work. Often times this is a result of having received a large contract where the person getting the award can only provide part of it or simply is not equipped to handle a large project. This doesn't mean that the landscape contractor can't take on the job it simply means that he'll need help in doing the work and outsourcing or subcontracting is sometimes the answer. Subcontracting offers opportunities for all contractors who do some or part of the entire project to specialize in that part where they have both the knowledge and equipment necessary to complete the work.
Some contractors are known to subcontract all of their mowing operations so that they can focus on other work within a property specification such as landscape renovation, tree care, lawn chemical programs and applications, specialized pruning and trimming trees and shrubs. Many projects such as very large office parks, colleges and universities, park & recreation departments, military installations are so big that one contractor is sometimes unable to supply the large number of employees, equipment fleet of mowers, ztr, tractors, not to mention tackling the requirements of spring and fall cleanups that need leaf vacuum suction on a large scale to handle the volume.
