Our Schedule
Consistency. Customers demand it. We understand it.
Our crew will show up to mow your lawn on the day we’re supposed to.
Our goal is get your lawn mowed on the day we promise 90% of the time. About 10% of the time, we do expect our crews to be running behind, usually due to weather. When this happens, we won’t skip you, but we will be a day late.
Pricing
Most lawns are $38.50 per mow
Additional charges may apply for corner lots, alleys, stepping stones, retaining walls, excessive obstacles, steep inclines, pools and wrought iron fences.
Terms
Weekly customers must commit to a six mow minimum commitment. After we mow the lawn six times, you are free to cancel for any reason with no advance notice.
Season Start and End
Our service goes weekly from March to mid-October. In mid-October, we automatically switch all of our clients to every-other-week. Our service ends in mid-November.
Sign Ups After Labor Day
Clients who sign up after Labor Day, but before the end of the lawn mowing season, must pay a $25 non-refundable fee to get on our lawn mowing schedule. Any clients who gets on our lawn mowing schedule during this time will get a free mow in the first week of May, along with a refund of the $25 fee, provided they are still on our lawn mowing schedule and haven’t already cancelled service.
First Mow
Usually, we are able to mow the lawn the first time for the normal price. However, if we show up for the very first lawn mowing and the lawn is too overgrown to mow in the normal amount of time, we will have to charge by the hour for the first lawn mowing. After that, each lawn mowing will be the normal price as long as you stay on our service.
What’s Included?
Our lawn mowing service consists of mowing all lawn areas, edging all concrete edges with a blade edger, line trimming along all borders and dispersing all clippings with our blowers.
What’s Not Included?
We do not rake leaves for free. If you have large deciduous trees that produce a lot of leaf drop in the winter, and you don’t get it cleaned up, we will not clean it up for free when we return in the spring for the first lawn mowing. We will simply run our mowers over the leaves and disperse them to the best of our abilities with our blowers. Over time, with each mow, the leaves will become less noticeable. Please don’t expect our crews to do a leaf clean-up for free. If you would like to have us clean your leaves, we are available at our normal hourly rates.
We do not clean flower beds with a routine lawn mowing. If you would like to have us control the weeds in the beds when we are there to mow the lawn, you may be interested in our bed weed control service.
We do not bag clippings for our customers, but if the grass is clumping in the lawn when we mow, we will disperse those clippings with our blowers. When we’re done, you won’t be able to tell the clippings weren’t bagged. The lawn will look clean.
Bi-Weekly Lawn Mowing
We do not offer bi-weekly, (also known as every other week) lawn mowing. All of our clients are on weekly service and that is all we offer.
Surprises
When we quote a price for lawn mowing, it’s based on square footage and assumes a fairly open, flat lawn. The price we quote over the phone is the right price 95% of the time. However, if we show up and you’ve got obstacles everywhere, or if your lawn has a steep hill or a lot of retaining walls that create more work, our crew will mow your lawn on the first trip at the quoted price (provided it’s not over grown). We will then contact you and let you know of the price increase. If you agree, we’ll continue service. If you disagree, we’ll waive our six mow minimum and take you off the schedule.
Skipping
We ask that our clients try to limit their skip requests to 2 or less per year.
Sprinkler Heads
In the event that we accidentally damage a sprinkler head, call us within a week and we will repair it at no cost.
Landscape Lights
If you have landscape lights installed in your beds, we shouldn’t have any problems if they are installed away from the lawn. However, if they’re installed in the lawn, or even in the beds but the lights are very close to the lawn, our line trimmers and mowers will likely damage them. We accept no responsibility for damage to landscape lights if they’re installed in the lawn.
Gates
If you want to keep your gate locked, its best if you use a combo lock and provide us with the combo. If the gate is locked when we arrive, we will not mow the back lawn. We do not discount our price if we’re unable to mow the back lawn. If you call us, we’ll return as soon as we can.
Pools
Pools create extra work for our crews. Even though there is less grass to mow, pools take more time because there is more to edge and trim. We also have to be careful to avoid getting too many clippings in the pool. Its impossible to service a pool account and not get any clippings in the pool, but we do work hard to minimize the mess. If you install a pool, we won’t raise your mowing price, but we won’t lower it either.
