These terms are meant to be practical and clear, not buried in legal language. For serious legal questions or custom contracts, you should speak with an attorney.

Key Topics in These Terms

Here are the main areas covered so you know what to expect before and after we service your yard.

Use of This Website

You agree to use our website for lawful purposes only and not to attempt to damage, hack or overload the site. Information on the website is general and may change without notice.

  • Content is for basic info about our services.
  • Nothing on the site is legal or financial advice.
  • We may update or remove content at any time.

Quotes & Estimates

Quotes are based on the information we have at the time and may change if the yard is different than described or conditions change.

  • Overgrown yards or extra debris may increase cost.
  • Photos help us give more accurate estimates.
  • We will explain changes before continuing when possible.

Scheduling & Access

We need safe, reasonable access to the areas we are servicing. Weather, route changes and other issues may require us to adjust times.

  • Gates should be unlocked or a code provided.
  • Pets must be secured so we can safely enter the yard.
  • We may reschedule in cases of heavy rain or unsafe conditions.

Payments & Fees

Payment is typically due at the time of service or as otherwise agreed. Late or missed payments may result in paused service or additional fees.

  • We may accept cash, digital payments or other methods we specify.
  • Unpaid balances may delay future service.
  • Returned or reversed payments may include recovery fees.

Cancellations & Changes

We understand plans change. We simply ask for reasonable notice so we can adjust our routes.

  • Contact us as early as possible to reschedule or cancel.
  • Same-day cancellations may incur a service or trip fee.
  • Repeated last-minute cancellations may end recurring service.

Limitations & Liability

We aim to do quality work, but there are limits to what we can guarantee and to what we are responsible for.

  • No guarantee of perfect lawns under extreme weather or watering issues.
  • We are not responsible for hidden items left in the grass (toys, hoses, etc.).
  • Our total liability is limited to the amount paid for the specific service in question where allowed by law.

How Working With Us Typically Works

These terms sit underneath a simple process: you contact us, we quote, we service, and payment is made when the work is done.

  1. Contact & Information

    You share your name, address, yard condition and how often you want service. You agree that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

  2. Quote & Agreement

    We provide a quote or estimate. By approving the quote or requesting work at that rate, you agree to pay for the service as described, subject to reasonable adjustments.

  3. Service Visit

    We arrive on the scheduled day (or window), perform the agreed work, and document any major changes or issues we encounter at the property.

  4. Payment & Follow-Up

    Payment is made at or shortly after service. For recurring customers, we may set up a routine payment method or schedule. We may send reminders or follow-ups as needed.

Our Service Philosophy

We want long-term customers, not one-time surprises. These terms are designed to protect both sides: you know what to expect from us, and we know what is expected from you as a customer.

  • Honest, straightforward pricing and communication.
  • Respect for your time, property and neighbors.
  • Clear boundaries on what we can and cannot do.

Third-Party Services & Tools

We may use outside tools for forms, scheduling, payments, calls or messages. By using those features, you also agree to any terms and policies required by those platforms.

How These Terms Show Up in Real Life

Our goal is to avoid surprises. Here’s how these terms usually play out on real jobs.

When you agree to a weekly or bi-weekly plan, you’re agreeing that we can come on your scheduled day within a reasonable time window, and that you will keep the yard ready and accessible for service. If access or conditions change, we may need to adjust pricing or reschedule.

  • We rely on the yard being in similar condition to what we quoted.
  • Extra debris, trash or overgrowth may result in added charges.
  • Multiple missed payments or no-shows may end recurring service.
  • We are not responsible for personal items left in the grass (hoses, toys, cables, etc.).

Terms of Service FAQs

A few direct answers to common questions about these terms and how they affect your service.

Are quotes final or can they change?

Quotes are based on what we can see and what you share. If we arrive and the yard is very different (more overgrown, extra debris, hidden areas), we may need to adjust the price. We will explain changes before moving forward when possible.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Things happen. Please contact us as early as you can. Same-day cancellations or last-minute changes may result in a trip or service fee, and repeated short-notice changes can lead to removal from recurring routes.

What if something goes wrong during service?

If we damage something that we reasonably should have seen and avoided, contact us right away so we can review the situation. Our responsibility is limited to reasonable repair or replacement up to the amount paid for the service in question, where allowed by law.

  • We are not responsible for hidden or buried items left in the grass.
  • We are not responsible for brown spots or grass issues caused by watering, pests or weather.
  • We will always try to handle issues fairly and quickly.
