Will you call me before you come out?
For customers that request notification prior to any service performed, yes we can provide that as a courtesy. We prefer to send an email notification, but can call if requested. For customers with gates or pets left outside it is our standard procedure to send a notification prior to any service performed regardless.
What time will you be out?
While it is difficult to schedule exact appointment times for most service treatments, we can provide general time frames such as early morning, late morning, etc.
Do I need to be home?
No, you do not need to be home for our Lawn Care Services, but if you have a request or a particular concern, feel free to call our office, send us an email or leave us a note on the back of your remit slip. As for some of our Pest Control Services, you will need to be home, as our technicians may need to enter your home, dependent on the service performed.
Do you have a referral program?
Yes, please ask our sales departments on information on our customer referral program.
What happens if it rains on my scheduled treatment date?
If we called you the day before letting you know that we would be out for a service treatment and it rains prior to our visit, you will then be scheduled for the following day. If it should rain following a service visit the same day, most of the herbicide products we use are rain-fast within an hour, but in cases where we are caught in the rain, we will apply additional weed control if needed on a dryer day. We just ask you allow 10 days to see if this is needed and give us a call if it is.
How will I be billed?
After each service is performed, a detailed invoice will be left at the front door explaining the service that was performed with a remit slip for making a payment.
Do I need to renew my services from year-to-year?
Service will continue from year-to-year, unless we hear from you otherwise. If you should ever want to change services performed or cancel service, please call our office or send us an email as we will need to update our records accordingly.
Is payment due after each treatment or after each month?
All payments are due upon receipt.
Do you offer any discounts if I pre-pay for my services for the entire year?
Yes, if services are prepaid we offer a discount of 5% - 10% depending on the time of the year. We also offer the option to setup auto-pay after services are performed which provides a 5% discount.
