An improved protector for a sprinkler head and for the riser to which it is attached characterized by a guard which allows the sprinker head to "float" within an axial cavity. The guard has a bottom surface area which is much greater than the top surface area, greatly diluting the pressure exerted on ground beneath the guard. A two piece cover assembly and breakaway poppet guide also prevent forces which may be exerted upon the guard from being transmitted to the sprinkler head or the riser. Slots are provided in the guard to allow the protector to be used near the edge and in the corner of lawns.
