1. Service Period: Unless otherwise specified in writing, mowing services will be provided on a weekly basis commencing in the Spring and continuing until Fall, or until the grass growth rate diminishes to a point where mowing is unnecessary or minimal. It is the intent of the Contractor to maintain the Client’s lawn in a neat and attractive condition. The Contractor reserves the right to determine the necessity of mowing services and to skip a week if rainfall or irrigation is deemed sufficient to support healthy growth. 2. Scheduling: The Contractor endeavors to perform mowing on the same day each week, but this is not guaranteed. J&L Lawn & Landscape retains the right to alter the scheduled day of service based on factors such as new client acquisitions, labor availability, and weather conditions. While most clients prefer later in the week, preferred scheduling is not assured. Clients located along the route on a specific day will typically receive service on the same day each week unless scheduling necessitates otherwise. 3. Schedule Variations: Due to various factors, there may be deviations from the standard seven-day mowing interval. J&L Lawn & Landscape reserves the right to adjust schedules accordingly. Client-requested changes may result in additional charges, with exceptions for extenuating circumstances such as special events or home renovations. 4. Drought Conditions: Clients agree to Contractor discretion regarding lawn skipping during drought periods. If a client requests unscheduled service after the crew has departed, resulting in additional travel, extra charges may apply. 5. Contractor Discretion: Clients acknowledge Contractor authority to determine mowing necessity, considering factors like weather, lawn health, and scheduling. Additional charges may be incurred if a client insists on skipping a week and subsequent maintenance requires extra time or labor. 6. Bi-weekly Services: J&L Lawn & Landscape does not typically offer or perform bi-weekly mowing due to scheduling constraints. Clients recognize that regular service intervals support technicians' livelihoods and service quality. 7. Weather Considerations: Severe or prolonged rainfall may render mowing unsafe or ineffective. In such cases, service may be postponed without additional charges. 8. Service Inclusions: Mowing services include string trimming, edging, trash removal, and blowing of clippings from pavement and other surfaces. Complimentary weed spray will be applied to control weeds in pavement cracks unless otherwise requested. 9. Additional Services: Bagging and disposal of clippings and hand mowing are available upon request for an additional fee. Clients must explicitly request hand mowing for areas inaccessible to larger mowers, with associated charges disclosed and agreed upon. 10. Payment Terms: Clients agree to settle invoices by the due date. Failure to pay promptly may result in service suspension until the account is current. Late payments may incur additional charges, and services necessitated by lapsed maintenance may also be subject to extra fees.
