When do I pay the bill?

Typically our lawn mowing customers are set for weekly auto pay.  If monthly, you will receive your bill via USPS or e-mail during the first week each month.  Please note our Billing Due Date is the 15th of the month.  Payment must be received on or before the 15th of each month to avoid late fees and service interruption.

May I pay the workers while they are working?

NO, please do not pay our workers.  We ask that you only make payments via Auto Pay, USPS or with a CC over the phone.  The crews are in and out of their trucks all day and payments can be easily misplaced.  However, our workers do enjoy the occasional tip!

How can I receive my bill?

Email or USPS

Do we cut the same day every week?

We have every intention to keep you on the same day cutting schedule every week. Due to weather, holidays, or any unforeseen disruption, we may not always make it out the same day. If it rains prior to your usual day, there may be a slight delay in services that week. No matter what we will service your property every week.

Do you require a contract to be signed?

We do not lock in our customers to service. Our hope is the service with speak for us and you will have no need to cancel.

Do we pick up twigs, garbage, etc.?

We ask that our customers provide a clear path for the mowers to cut the lawn. If there is a large branch in the way, we will move it to avoid damaging the mower, but smaller twigs are not moved due to time constraints. We do request that you pick up any Dog Mess, toys or other obstacles before work is performed, if not some areas may not receive service and will be addressed the following week. If there is excessive Dog Mess, the entire property may be skipped as to avoid a potential health risk to the employees.

Will we ever skip a service week?

Not unless requested, otherwise we will provide our weekly service. We leave the decision up to the customer if a particular week needs to be skipped. Excessive skipping will result in a rate adjustment.

Do we offer bagging of the grass clippings?

No.

Do we pick up the leaves in the Fall?

During the month of November, in addition to mowing your lawn, we will also take 1 catcher worth of leaves with each visit at no additional cost (Weather permitting).  This is meant to alleviate the burden of leaf pickup for our customers but in no way a guarantee of all leaves to be cleared from the yard.

Can you cut Every Other Week?

Yes.  Every other week is an option but not recommended especially in the Spring during heavy growth.  This is not a healthy option for your lawn as there is more than 1/3 of the grass blade being cut which can stress the lawn and make more susceptible to disease.  Every Other Week service is subject to Higher Pricing than weekly.

Are there services you don’t do?

We do not offer the following services:  Hand Weeding, Hardscapes, Sod Installation, Retaining Walls, Flower Planting, Tree Planting
