Lawn Care Services Agreement
This Lawn Care Services Agreement (the "Agreement") is dated as of __________ (the "Effective Date"), by and between ______________________________ (the "Provider") and ______________________________ (the "Client") (collectively, the "Parties"). The Parties agree as follows:
This is a simplified business-focused service agreement template for lawn care services in the United States and is not legal advice.
1. SERVICES:
1.1 Provider will perform weekly lawn mowing and yard maintenance services for Client (the "Services"). 1.2 Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, the Services include only routine lawn and yard tasks such as mowing grass, trimming edges, light weeding of visible beds and walkways, and removal of grass clippings and small yard debris created by the Services. Work is limited to the areas around the property normally used as lawn or yard. 1.3 Provider is not responsible for services that are not listed as part of the Services, such as tree removal, major limb trimming, landscaping design, fertilizer or chemical treatments, irrigation system work, pest control, or hauling large or pre-existing debris, unless the Parties agree to add such services in a written amendment or attached Service Schedule. 1.4 The Parties may describe additional details of the Services, property address, and any special instructions in a written appendix, checklist, or Service Schedule attached to this Agreement. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and an attached Service Schedule that is signed by both Parties, the Service Schedule will control for the description of the Services only. 1.5 Provider will supply labor and standard lawn care equipment unless the Parties agree in writing that Client will provide specific equipment or materials.
2. FEES & PAYMENT:
2.1 Client will pay Provider a fee of $140 USD per visit for the Services. Services are expected to occur weekly unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing. 2.2 Payment for each visit is due from Client after each visit is completed. Provider may invoice Client after each visit or provide a weekly statement, and Client must pay each invoice within 7 calendar days of the invoice date, unless the Parties agree to a different payment period in writing. 2.3 Acceptable payment methods will be cash, check, electronic bank transfer, or other electronic or online payment method accepted by Provider. Provider will inform Client of any specific payment options or platforms used. 2.4 If Client does not pay an amount due within 10 calendar days after the due date, Provider may pause or cancel future visits until the account is brought current. Provider may also charge a reasonable late fee or finance charge on overdue amounts if the Parties agree in writing. 2.5 Any additional services requested by Client that are outside the described Services will be billed at rates agreed in writing before the work is performed.
3. SCHEDULE & CANCELLATIONS:
3.1 Provider will perform the Services on a weekly schedule on a day and time window agreed by the Parties. Provider may adjust the time of day within the agreed window based on weather, equipment issues, or routing needs and will make reasonable efforts to notify Client of changes. 3.2 Client must give Provider at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a scheduled visit. If Client cancels or reschedules with less than 24 hours' notice, or if Provider arrives and is unable to perform the Services due to Client-related issues (such as blocked access, locked gates without provided codes, or unsafe conditions caused by Client), Client will owe the full fee for that visit. 3.3 Provider may reschedule or cancel a visit due to weather, unsafe site conditions, equipment failure, illness, or other reasonable causes. Provider will notify Client as soon as practical and will use reasonable efforts to reschedule the missed visit within a reasonable time. 3.4 Repeated last-minute cancellations or schedule changes by either Party may be grounds for termination of this Agreement in line with the Term & Termination clause.
4. ACCESS, KEYS & SAFETY:
4.1 Client will provide safe and reasonable access to the property on each scheduled service day, including any gate codes, keys, or other access information needed for Provider to enter the yard areas. Client is responsible for ensuring that access information is accurate and up to date. 4.2 If Provider cannot access the property at the scheduled time due to missing or incorrect access information, locked gates, parked vehicles blocking entry, or other Client-controlled conditions, the visit may be treated as a late cancellation under Section 3.2, and Client will owe the full fee for that visit. 4.3 Client will keep the service areas reasonably free of hazards, including toys, tools, pet waste, rocks, and other loose items that may be damaged or may damage equipment. Provider may decline to perform all or part of the Services if the site conditions are unsafe for people, pets, or equipment. 4.4 Provider will use reasonable care while operating lawn equipment near buildings, vehicles, landscaping, and other property. Client understands that normal lawn care involves moving equipment and objects over outdoor surfaces where small debris may be present, and minor scuffs or wear to turf and hard surfaces may occur as part of normal use.
5. PETS & SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
5.1 If pets are present at the property, Client will secure pets indoors or in an area away from the active work zone during each visit, unless the Parties agree in writing to a different arrangement. Client is responsible for pet behavior and for any damage or injury caused by Client's pets. 5.2 Client will remove or clearly mark any special conditions on the property that could affect the Services, such as invisible fences, low-voltage lighting, buried cables, irrigation heads, or uneven ground that is not obvious. 5.3 Provider may refuse or stop work if pets, special conditions, or other circumstances create an unsafe situation for people, pets, or equipment. In that case, Provider will notify Client, and the visit may be treated as a late cancellation under Section 3.2 if the unsafe conditions are within Client's control.
6. EXCLUSIONS:
6.1 The Services do not include indoor work, structural repairs, tree removal, major pruning or limb trimming, snow or ice removal, gutter cleaning, pest control, fertilizer or chemical applications, landscape design, or hauling of large or pre-existing debris, unless the Parties agree in writing to add such services. 6.2 Provider is not responsible for damage to items left in the yard or lawn areas that are not clearly visible or not removed by Client before the visit, such as hoses, small toys, electrical cords, or loose decorations. 6.3 Provider does not guarantee any particular result for lawn growth, color, weed levels, or long-term condition of the yard, because these depend on factors outside Provider's control, including weather, soil condition, watering practices, and Client's maintenance between visits.
8. LIABILITY & DAMAGE:
8.1 Provider will use reasonable care in performing the Services. If Provider, through its negligence, causes direct physical damage to Client's property, Provider will repair the damage or pay the reasonable cost of repair, at Provider's choice, up to the damage cap in Section 8.4. 8.2 Client will promptly notify Provider in writing of any damage or issue that Client believes was caused by the Services, and will give Provider a reasonable opportunity to inspect and, if appropriate, repair the damage. 8.3 Client is responsible for damage or injury caused by conditions under Client's control, including unsecured pets, hidden yard hazards, or failure to maintain safe access to the property. 8.4 The total amount of Provider's responsibility for all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement will not be more than $500 USD in the aggregate. 8.5 In no event will either Party be responsible to the other for lost profits, loss of use, or other indirect or consequential damages that arise from this Agreement or the Services.
7. TERM & TERMINATION:
7.1 This Agreement starts on the Effective Date and will continue on a week-to-week basis for so long as Provider continues to perform Services and Client continues to pay, unless ended earlier as described in this Section. 7.2 Either Party may terminate this Agreement for any reason by giving the other Party at least 14 calendar days' written notice. Provider will complete any already scheduled visits during the notice period unless the Parties agree otherwise. 7.3 Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice if the other Party: (a) fails to pay amounts due and does not correct the failure within 10 calendar days after written notice; (b) materially fails to perform its obligations under this Agreement and does not correct that failure within 10 calendar days after written notice; or (c) engages in abusive, unsafe, or illegal conduct in connection with the Services. 7.4 When this Agreement ends, Client will pay Provider for all Services performed up to the termination date, including any fees owed under the cancellation policy.
9. GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
9.1 This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the state where the property receiving the Services is located, without regard to its rules about conflicts of laws. 9.2 If a dispute arises out of or relating to this Agreement, the Parties will first try in good faith to resolve the dispute through informal discussions. If they cannot resolve the dispute within 30 calendar days, either Party may pursue any dispute resolution method they choose, such as mediation, arbitration, or a claim in a court with proper jurisdiction. 9.3 Each Party will be responsible for its own costs and expenses in any dispute, including attorney or adviser fees, unless a different result is required by a final decision of the court or other decision-maker handling the dispute.
10. GENERAL PROVISIONS:
10.1 Independent Contractor. Provider is an independent contractor and not an employee of Client. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between the Parties. 10.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any attached and signed Service Schedules or appendices, is the entire agreement between the Parties about the Services and replaces all earlier or other written or oral agreements about the same subject. 10.3 Amendments. Any change to this Agreement must be in writing and signed or clearly agreed to by both Parties, which may include agreement by email or electronic signature. 10.4 No Waiver. If either Party does not enforce a right under this Agreement, that does not mean the Party has given up that right for the future. 10.5 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found to be invalid or cannot be enforced, the rest of the Agreement will remain in effect, and the invalid part will be replaced with a valid term that comes closest to the original intent. 10.6 Notices. Formal notices under this Agreement must be sent to the addresses or email addresses provided by each Party. A Party may update its contact information by written notice to the other Party.
