Given all the replies are accurate. Along with all the other services the message is clear, contractors are actively adding services to their menu. Reversing the trend of sub-contracting out work to other contractors. And the mechanical services (our favorite) are growing. Irrigation and lighting especially. Lighting is the service contractors expect the biggest growth. -Scott Knowles, President Article based on information from the January Irrigation & Green Industry magazine survey.
