Weekly Mowing. Every mowing service includes trimming along the turf perimeter, edging along sidewalks and driveways, and blow-off of all walkways and paved areas every week. The mowing direction is rotated regularly and cut with sharpened blades. The mowing height is set between 2½”- 3½” depending on climate and turf conditions. Grass clippings will be sustainably mulched into the lawn or bagged for removal.
Overgrowth. If your grass is over 6” high or the edging overhangs the sidewalk more than 2″, your mowing service will be converted to a cleanup, billed hourly at $59.95 per person, per hour. Unfortunately, we cannot mow lawns over 12″ due to the limitations of our mowers. Sometimes, overgrown lawns cannot not bagged due to clogging of our mowers. It may take several more mows before your lawn will look good again.
Watering. Wet grass is very hard to mow. Please do not water your lawn the night before or the morning of your scheduled mowing day.
Trees and Fences. Although we use caution, please protect the base of your trees or fences with a wrap or protective sleeve. The Family Lawn is not responsible for scuffs or scars to trees or fences due to use of a string trimmer.
Lawn Care Program. We notify you (1) day prior to any Lawn Program treatment and leave a detailed report of each application on your door at the time of service. Please keep people and pets off the lawn for a minimum of 4 hours following a lawn treatment. Read and follow ALL directions posted on your door or on signs in the yard.
Sprinklers Blow-Out. The system is winterized through the use of forced air and valves/timers turned off. Repairs are subject to additional cost. The Family Lawn is not liable for overall system performance or damages due to malfunction (i.e. flooded basements).
Cleanups. Cleanups are customized for your specific needs and may include: leaf or miscellaneous debris removal, preparation of beds and rock areas, winter preparation of ornamental grasses and plants, removal of pine needles, or other. Cleanups are billed per person, per hour. Subject to availability.
Scheduling. For route efficiency, most services are set on a particular day, but not a particular time. We will notify you of your mowing day. As our mowing schedule fills out, you will notice that we come around the same time each day. Lawn Care Program treatments are never on the same day as your mowing. You need to be home for Sprinkler Blow service, which are time specific appointments.
Pets and Gates. Pets must be indoors and gates must be unlocked on the day of service. If we cannot mow the back yard due to a locked gate, you will still be charged. We are very careful about closing gates, but cannot guarantee that a pet will not escape. The Family Lawn is not responsible for lost or injured pets.
Yard Debris. Customer agrees to clear all turf areas of all major debris, children’s’ toys, and pet feces before every service.
Delays and Weather. Weather delays are rescheduled for the following day. Should emergency or any circumstance outside of our reasonable control prevent us from servicing your home, service will be rescheduled as soon as possible.
