Customers Operations Agreement (Lawn Maintenance)
Operations:
1. Rain Delay - If weather is deemed too extreme for our workers to successfully preform the work needed to our customers property we will reschedule for the next day if appropriate.
2. Equipment Failure - If Trucks, Work Vehicles, or any other equipment has flat tires or breaks down with issues we will assess how to continue service that day or the next service visit.
3. Route Changes - No specific days are guaranteed for service Monday through Saturday. Operations will be closed on Sundays. Field operation days can change for your property due to the changes of our routes as we add new customers, emergency operations occur, or weekly operations demand change to save time on successfully executing weekly productivity for all customers.
4. Services Performed - We will perform the following as needed under companies professional judgement. This means we might not mow your property or areas of your property to heal or fix patches of your turf. We will not cut or trim hedges, palm fronds, bushes, trees, or plants if in our professional judgement it will hurt or kill them. You will get 1 Hedge Trimming per month, 1 Weed Killer spray for beds only per month if rain does not delay us as it has to be completely dry for the weed killer to work effectively.
5. Holidays - If a holiday is recognized by our organization we will not be open or servicing properties that day but the next day if it is an operational day we will continue your services. This is to make sure our customers can enjoy family time and our employees can enjoy family time as well. This may cause a delay in your service and we will do our best to get to your property in a timely manner.
6. Hurricanes - If a hurricane is present in your county of service we will not be servicing your county until we have an all clear from the appropriate channels of authorities. This is so damages are prevented to our customers properties and so our employees are protected as well. Once we have an all clear and it is safe to continue services we will get to your property as fast as we can. We will help remove and clean up properties from hurricane debris slowly or if customer wants a one time clean up to get all debris cleaned up on first visit they will be charged a clean up fee “Hurricane Clean Up Fee” for extra labor and possible dumping of debris.
7. Summer Cuts - Our summer cuts for each season start on April 1st - October 15th. We do weekly cuts as your grass needs more maintenance as the temperature gets hotter and rain plays a big factor in growth.
8. Winter Cuts - Our winter cuts for each season start Oct 16th - Mar 31st. We do bi-weekly cuts as the weather gets colder and your grass goes dormant and slows down growth. This means your grass needs a minor break from cutting and we change our service schedules to bi-weekly as your property does not need as much attention. Your price will stay the same as we do other services on your property that helps us get ready for summer cuts for the next season. We will cut small trees back, 6 ft or less palm trees, and other minor things to your property which we call “Winter Cut Backs”.
