A Brief History of French Landscape Irrigation: Bob French, a native Washingtonian, got his start in the landscape business in 1975 mowing lawns for his father-in-law. He took over the lawn care business in 1977 and French Landscaping was born. He began to do landscape projects and by 1979 installed his first irrigation system with the help of his stepfather who was a plumber. As the landscape projects increased, so did the customer requests for irrigation, redirecting the business to a new focus. In 1990 the company was renamed French Landscape Irrigation and turned its' full attention to the design, installation, repair, and maintenance of irrigation systems. In June 2006, his son Chris French joined the business, a third generation of landscapers! Visit www.frenchli.com for more info!
