Service Agreement and Policies
!Welcome to Lawn Service by Levi!
Health & Quality Policy:"
To protect the long-term health and beauty of your turf, I do not offer 'scalping' or ultra-low cutting services. Shaving a lawn down to the dirt shocks the grass, burns the roots under the intense sun, and invites aggressive weed growth. I cut exclusively at recommended professional heights to keep your lawn thick, vibrant, and naturally weed-resistant.
Reliable and fully insured lawn care professional. I carry comprehensive liability insurance to guarantee your property is 100% protected while I make your yard look its best.
I provide professional, reliable, and high-quality lawn care across Houston and all surrounding areas.
1. Standard Service Included: Professional mowing, precision string trimming (weed eating), clean edging along hard surfaces, and blowing off all walkways/driveways.
Not Included: Major landscaping, tree removal, and chemical applications are not part of standard mowing service.
2. Property Readiness and Safety Rules:
To ensure a safe, efficient, and perfect cut, please have your property fully ready on your scheduled service day.
Debris and trash: All yards must be clear of trash, toys, hoses, large sticks, and debris.
Pet Waste: All dog and pet waste must be cleared from the lawn before I arrive.
Handling Fee: If I am forced to manually clear trash, heavy storm sticks, or pet waste to safely operate my commercial walk behind mower, a $10 - 20$ clean-up fee will be automatically added to the invoice.
Access: All backyard gates must be unlocked by 10 AM on your service day.
If I cannot gain access to a locked backyard, the full service fee still applies for the front yard.
3. Labor Fees an Premium Add-On:
For properties requiring extra labor beyond a standard cut, the following competitive rates apply.
Overgrown Grass Fee:
Standard mowing prices cover normal growth under 6 inches.
For grass between 6 and 12 inches, a 1.75x upcharge applies.
For severe overgrowth above 12 inches, a 2x to 3x upcharge will be calculated before starting due to the extreme wear and tear on equipment.
Bagging an Disposal Fee: Standard service includes mulching clippings back into the turf to recycle nutrients.
If you require clippings to be bagged and placed at the curb, an extra $15 per service fee applies (plus $3 per individual lawn bag used).
For removal of bagged clippings from premise, a $10 service fee will be added automatically to the invoice.

4. Payment an Late Fee Policies for Card on File:
To keep servicing your lawn with the upmost care and professionalism, a valid credit or debit card must be kept securely on file.

6. Chemical Applications (Ants and Weeds):

I am currently completing my Texas Department of Agriculture certification. Until fully active, I can apply client-purchased ant treatments or weed killers to your lawn for a flat $20 handling/labor fee if you provide the product.
