Make Lawn Care Contracts with Care
As there are new customers every day looking out for offers in the lawn care service industry, there is definitely the need to make Lawn Care Contracts between the customer and the service provider.
Lawn Care Contracts could be made for mowing the lawn on a monthly basis or tending to the season flowers on a weekly basis, or it could just be a contract by the hour and involving all the work in the garden according to the number of hours of work put in. Sometimes the lawn care service has taken an appointment to come and mow the lawn, and is then requested to add some new mulch to the flower beds, or some other odd job like that. So the Lawn Care Contracts should have some room for flexibility.
Lawn Care Proposal
Before you sign one of the Lawn Care Contracts, you should get a simple-to-use, lawn care proposal from the lawn care contractor. There are customizable, yearly lawn care service contracts available, and you can modify them after a discussion with the contractor. There may be certain tasks in the proposal, which you can do yourself, or there may be some things like fertilizers, or saplings that you would like to buy on your own.
Extra Services
Some Lawn Care Contracts may offer add-on services, which the customer can choose to have or not. These could be services like aeration, fall leaf removal, low voltage landscape lighting, overseeding, detaching and fertilizing. Decide on them earlier, so that they could be included in your contract.
Landscape Maintenance
For Lawn Care Contracts there are various recommendations about landscape maintenance contracts. These contracts integrate environmental considerations, water and energy conservation, fertilizer and pesticide management and the reduction and reuse of plant clippings. These recommendations are a result of a research based on information about Environmental Landscape Management.
Standard Contract
There is a standard sample contract which suggests a host of additional topics which should be considered when you create a contract or review one. However, the final decision about what to include in a lawn contract must be added by the professionals and the clients. The main activities in any of the Lawn Care Contracts are mowing, edging and trimming of the grass. This comes under lawn maintenance considerations and the contractor should be in a position to mow turf areas as required according to the seasonal growth. If there is an outbreak of fungal disease, the contractor should collect the grass clippings until the disease is detectable.
So, when you as a customer or as a new lawn care business contractor are signing one of the Lawn Care Contracts, make sure that the services that you ask for or offer are feasible and practical. Having one of the Lawn Care Contracts saves the lawn owner a lot of trouble and hard work, because even if you are out of town or on a holiday, your lawn will be mowed and kept prim and proper by the lawn care contractor.
