Frequently Asked Questions
How should I price lawn maintenance?
Price based on lot size, terrain difficulty, and frequency. Most landscapers charge $30-80 per visit for residential mowing or offer monthly packages. Measure the property and consider obstacles, slopes, and access. Commercial properties are priced per acre.
Should I charge for rain delays?
Standard practice is to reschedule without charge, performing the service on the next available day. For time-sensitive work (events, property showings), include a weather contingency clause that allows rescheduling within 48 hours.
How do I handle plant warranties?
Most landscapers offer a 1-year warranty on installed plants, covering replacement if the plant dies due to improper installation. Warranty should not cover neglect, drought, or pest damage. Include warranty terms on the invoice.
