Mowing
A full faith effort to perform quality services is made each and every time. It is possible that due to weather or other outside influences turf may be adversely affected and could be damaged. Each case will be reviewed, and appropriate action will be taken. Learning a new lawn may have an adverse effect on the turf as well and should be expected to not be a recurring event. It is not to be assumed that damage will result in an action by Seller.
Mowing customers first mow after being reactivated off being on hold will be on a time and material basis if longer than 7 days from most previous mow.
Initial Mowing – new customers that have a start date on or after April 8th may have an additional fee on their first mowing service due to excessive height. Seller reserves the sole right to decide what is considered excessive height.
Skipped Mows – any mowing skipped at Buyer’s request, for any reason, the following week will be bagged and billed for twice weekly price.
Partial Mows – Partial mows are billed at the normal weekly rate. Any portion(s) of the lawn that are skipped for any reason, will be mowed the following week. Any additional time this takes will NOT be billed to the Buyer.
Mowing Trip Charge – Buyer will we charged a $35 trip charge if mowing crew arrives to recently seeded lawn, by other company than Seller, with no prior communication to skip the lawn, if crew is turned away by Buyer without 24-hour notice, or if lawn has been mowed by Buyer. A trip charge will also be charged to Buyer if irrigation has been running excessively making the lawn un-mowable during Renovation season.
Scheduled Appointments
A $69 Trip Charge will incur if Buyer misses a scheduled appointment with a technician, a technician and/or crew is turned away by the Buyer without prior communication with the office or sales person.
Irrigation Winterization
Seller agrees to provide the service of purging water with compressed air for the agreed upon fee between Seller and Buyer.
Seller agrees to enter the system at the point best known to be the nearest possible entry to the water source with our equipment typically used. Points of connection inside the house are not considered possible entry. Seller will cycle the sprinkler systems through all operational valves at the time of service. No repairs are included at the time of service, nor are included in fees for this service.
It is possible for defective/aged shut-off supply valves to not close completely at the time of service. If this is the case, and goes unnoticed, the failed valve may allow for water to re-enter the sprinkler system over time and could cause damage. This is not considered a negligent act of service by Seller.
For best results, have Seller out to turn your sprinkler system on in the Spring to be assured that the health of the irrigation system is the best it can be. Our service is guaranteed when combined with our 19-Point Spring Start-Up service. Winterization warranty is limited to those who hire Seller for both Fall winterization and subsequent Spring sprinkler turn-on services. Systems with water supplied prior to our inspection for warranty coverage will not be eligible for warranty. The warranty shall be limited to damage that could be deemed related to freeze damage to parties considered professionals in the irrigation industry. Outside consultants shall provide written documentation if necessary and paid for by the Buyer. Seller reserves the right of final say if the item is to be warrantied. This statement shall supersede any other offer or writing of terms.
Irrigation Repairs
After repairs are made, Seller is not responsible for water leaks, or any water lost/billed due to a leak associated with the repair or not. It is the responsibility of Buyer to periodically review the repair and system in its entirety and contact Seller with any issues that may require attention.
Damage to any utility must be immediately reported to Seller prior to notification of utility for any reimbursement to occur. The Seller retains the right to contact the utility and resolve the issue independent of the client and their relationship with said utility.
Cancellation
The Seller requires a written notice of cancellation or rescheduling at least 24 hours before any scheduled service or appointment. If the Buyer cancels the subscription contract at any point, the client’s service account will be reconciled by taking difference between amount paid and Market Value of all services completed to date of cancellation.
