Terms of Service
Effective Date: January 23, 2026
1. Scope of Services
Marlin’s Mowing Services LLC provides professional lawn maintenance, including mowing, string trimming, and debris blow-off. Services are performed on a weekly schedule from approximately March through November, depending on seasonal growth.
2. Property Access & Safety
To ensure safe and efficient service, the Client agrees to:
- Grant Access: Facilitate entry to all service areas between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on scheduled days.
- Clear Obstructions: Remove all children’s toys, pet toys, furniture, and garden hoses from the lawn prior to service.
- Manage Pets: Ensure all pets are secured indoors or away from the service area.
- Unlock Gates: Ensure all gates are unlocked. We do not offer credits or redo's for missed areas due to inaccessible (locked) yards.
3. Weather & Rain Delays
As an outdoor service, our schedule is dictated by "Mother Nature".
- Rain Policy: If it rains on your scheduled day, service will typically be pushed to the next available dry day.
- Saturated Turf: We may skip mowing if the turf is too wet to prevent property damage (rutting), but we may still perform trimming and hardscape cleanup.
- Schedule Shifts: Excessive rain or storms may delay your normal service day by 24–48 hours.
4. Payment Terms
- Invoicing: For residential clients, payment is due upon receipt of the invoice or within 5–7 days. Commercial accounts are billed monthly with payment due within 30 days.
- Late Fees: Payments not received within 30 days may incur a late fee of $25 or 1.5% of the total value, whichever is greater.
- Suspension of Service: We reserve the right to suspend all services if an account becomes more than two billing cycles past due.
5. Property Damage & Liability
- Report Damages: The Client must report any alleged property damage (e.g., sprinkler heads, fences) within 72 hours of service.
- Pre-existing Conditions: We are not responsible for damage to items left in the yard or pre-existing hazards not disclosed by the Client.
6. Termination
Either party may cancel this agreement at any time with 7 days' written notice. Any services completed prior to cancellation will remain due in full.
