This service will occur Mid April – Mid November for maximum of 30 cuts (any cuts beyond 30 will be billed separately).

Part IV: SERVICE POLICY

1. Your mowing program is a continuous service from mowing to mowing and year to year with mowing scheduled every week between mid April and mid November for a maximum of 30 cuts. You may discontinue services at any time by writing, or calling the office 14 days in advance. Steve's Cutting Edge Lawn Care Inc. reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee of up to 1 month of your contract price if service is canceled between May and November.

2. For your convenience, this contract will automatically renew in one year terms. Before the beginning of each season, a notice of all scheduled services and price changes will be sent to you.

3. To offset cost increases (i.e. gas), your invoice may reflect an increase in your standard charge.

4. On the scheduled day of service, it is the CUSTOMER’S responsibility to ensure that the lawn is free of toys, hoses, portable sprinklers, and other objects that interfere with the maintenance of the lawn. Steve's Cutting Edge Lawn Care Inc. will not be responsible for damage caused to or by such items left on the lawn. If foreign objects such as vehicles, trailers, debris, etc. impede the work which is to be performed by Steve's Cutting Edge Lawn Care Inc. those areas will not be serviced. All gated areas must also be accessible and unlocked.

5. For everyone’s safety, please use caution when approaching, while Steve's Cutting Edge Lawn Care Inc. employees are using equipment. It is especially important to keep children and pets inside the house or business while lawn care equipment is being used.

6. If a pet is kept at the property, the lawn must be free of pet droppings when Steve's Cutting Edge Lawn Care Inc. is scheduled to service your yard. Failure to do so may result in some spots remaining uncut.

7. If you use a lawn fertilization service, please schedule it at least two days before Steve's Cutting Edge Lawn Care Inc. arrives on the property for your lawn maintenance.

8. In the event the Client adds additional turf area, trees, plantings, walks, driveways, or paths that are suitable for edging or other maintenance, Steve's Cutting Edge Lawn Care Inc. shall not be responsible for the care or maintenance of such additional improvements without a written change order.

9. ​In the event of inclement weather or excessively wet conditions, Steve’s Cutting Edge Lawn Care Inc. may be forced to reschedule a scheduled mowing. If conditions allow, your visit will be completed on the next available day. However, if it remains too wet to mow, service may be delayed until the next regularly scheduled service date the following week. Our crews will make every reasonable effort to service some portion of the lawn—this may include mowing only certain sections or completing trimming only—before determining that a full postponement is necessary. Any visit performed, whether a partial or full service, will be counted as a serviced trip toward the seasonal total.
   It is understood that depending on the length and severity of any inclement weather, it may take varying amounts of time to fulfill the work covered under this service agreement. The client acknowledges that weather conditions may change rapidly and without notice. Such changes are considered acts of nature, and Steve’s Cutting Edge Lawn Care Inc. assumes no liability for delays or schedule adjustments resulting from weather conditions.

10. During hot and dry weather, if you wish for us to skip your lawn, please email us at least 24 hours in advance. If we we arrive and determine your lawn should not be mowed due to drought and lack of growth, Steve's Cutting Edge Lawn Care Inc. reserves the right to skip service that week.

11. All quotes/estimates are valid for 30 days after the date of proposal as indicated above.
