Lawn Maintenance Agreement
A clear agreement outlining your selected lawn maintenance program, service schedule, payment terms, and responsibilities.
Basic Lawn Maintenance is generally a seasonal mowing service from March through November, depending on growing conditions. Standard, Premium, and Platinum are 12-month maintenance agreements with services scheduled according to the selected program and seasonal property needs. A 12-month agreement does not mean weekly mowing throughout the winter.
1. Customer and Property Information
This agreement is between the service provider and the customer identified below for lawn maintenance at the listed property.
2. Select Your Maintenance Program
Select the program covered by this agreement. The applicable scope, schedule, and price must be confirmed by the service provider and customer before work begins.
Basic Lawn Maintenance is seasonal. The Standard, Premium, and Platinum programs run for 12 months, with payments divided into 12 monthly installments. Services may change throughout the year based on the selected program and seasonal property needs.
Year-round maintenance does not mean year-round weekly mowing. Weekly mowing applies during the appropriate growing season and when conditions call for it, as defined by the applicable program.
3. Service Schedule and Scope
Basic Lawn Maintenance
Basic Lawn Maintenance generally includes weekly mowing during the growing season, typically March through November. Actual service dates and frequency may vary with grass growth, weather, site conditions, and other scheduling considerations.
This seasonal service does not automatically include winter maintenance, snow removal, leaf removal, fertilization, weed control, aeration, shrub care, or other additional services unless specifically agreed to in writing.
Standard, Premium, and Platinum Programs
These programs have a 12-month agreement term. The services provided during each part of the year depend on the selected program and the property's seasonal needs. The applicable service schedule and inclusions should be documented in the confirmed program details or an attached service schedule.
| Agreement Type | Agreement Period | Service Scheduling | Payment Structure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Lawn Maintenance | Seasonal; dates confirmed below | Generally weekly mowing during the growing season | As stated in the approved quote |
| Standard | 12 months | Based on confirmed program details and seasonal needs | 12 monthly installments |
| Premium | 12 months | Based on confirmed program details and seasonal needs | 12 monthly installments |
| Platinum | 12 months | Based on confirmed program details and seasonal needs | 12 monthly installments |
Service timing may be adjusted due to rain, drought, excessive heat, ground conditions, grass growth, property access, or other conditions affecting safe and appropriate service. The provider will communicate schedule changes as reasonably practicable.
4. Pricing and Payment Terms
The price and payment structure for the selected program will be confirmed before service begins. For 12-month programs, the agreement price is divided into 12 monthly installments. Monthly installments are a payment arrangement for the agreement term and do not represent a promise of equal service frequency each month.
Any additional service or work outside the confirmed scope must be approved by the customer and priced according to the provider's agreed terms before it is performed, except as otherwise agreed in writing.
5. Customer Responsibilities
To help the provider perform the agreed services, the customer agrees to:
- Provide reasonable access to the service property on scheduled service dates.
- Keep gates accessible and secure pets during service visits.
- Remove or identify personal items, toys, hoses, and other obstacles from areas scheduled for mowing.
- Inform the provider of known hazards, fragile areas, irrigation components, underground features, or other property conditions that could affect the work.
- Keep account and contact information current and communicate access issues or service concerns promptly.
6. Changes, Cancellations, and Renewal
Changes to the selected program, service scope, or property requirements must be confirmed in writing by both parties. Requests for additional work may require a separate quote.
The following terms must be completed and agreed upon before this agreement is signed:
7. Agreement and Acknowledgment
By signing below, the customer and service provider acknowledge that they have reviewed the selected maintenance program, the applicable service scope, the agreement term, the payment arrangement, and the additional terms recorded in this document and any attached approved quote or service schedule.
Both parties understand that seasonal mowing frequency depends on growing conditions and that a 12-month maintenance agreement does not guarantee weekly mowing during winter months. Services not expressly included in the confirmed program are not included unless separately agreed to in writing.
