First of all, demand a lawn mowing contracts

It may seem like such a simple matter, hiring someone to mow your lawn, and in fact it should be a simple transaction . . . still, it is a business transaction, and it will cost you money, so we are going to strongly suggest that you do ask for a written contract. There are far too many “fly by night” commercial mowing services popping up in most cities, what with the economy being so shaky of late; it’s a bit like the Wild West out there, a new gunslinger in town weekly, and we think you really do need the protection a lawn mowing contract affords you.

Secondly, make sure all points are covered in the lawn mowing contracts

Sit down with the lawn mowing representative and make sure every facet of the lawn mowing service is spelled out in that contract. Are they expected to edge the lawn? Are they expected to clean-up after the service is performed? What exactly with the specified job cost? How often are they mowing your lawn?  Are there any other lawn care tasks you want performed, and will they cost extra?

Third, make sure you demand all-inclusive pricing

All-inclusive pricing means there are no surprises regarding lawn mowing prices per acre.  There are no last-minute surcharges. There are no last-minute additional charges.  The price you agree upon, the price mentioned in the lawn mowing contract, is the only price you pay when the job is completed. This may seem superfluous and one extra step you don’t need, but trust us, we’ve been doing this for a good number of years, and you need to protect yourself by demanding all-inclusive pricing in the contract.

Fourth, check on references

Please, please, please, do not hire a stranger off the street, even if they have a nice pickup truck, and they are towing a nice trailer with equipment and their company name stenciled on the side.  It’s all just window-dressing until the job is actually done, and then you, the property owner, are left with the results. Ask for references and then check on those references.  It is a sure-fire way to protect yourself against the scammers in this industry and yes, there are scammers who will promise anything but deliver far less.
