A few minutes the day before means the landscaper spends the visit on your yard, not waiting at a locked gate or working around a hose.
The day before
- Unlock the gates, or email us the code. If the landscaper can't get into the yard, they can't do the work.
- Keep pets inside while they work. Gates get opened, and mowers and trimmers throw small stones.
- Pick up toys, hoses and yard decor from the grass and beds. Anything left in the lawn can get caught by the mower.
- Point out sprinkler heads, drip lines and anything low in the grass, like yard lights or edging. Flag them or tell us, so they don't get run over.
- Tell us about anything we can't see, like a wasp nest, a hole, broken glass, or a spot that stays wet.
If the landscaper can't get in, or it isn't safe to work (a dog loose in the yard, for example), the job can't go ahead that day. What happens then is in our terms. Not sure about any of this? Email vrsandy45@gmail.com before the day.
What we haul away
- Clippings, trimmings, weeds and leaves from the job are bagged or loaded up and taken away.
- Branches and yard debris are taken away when haul-off is part of the job. Tell us how much there is when you ask for a quote.
- Not yard waste? Trash, old furniture, appliances, tires, paint, chemicals and building debris like concrete or lumber aren't part of a yard job. Ask us first.
On the day
Yard upkeep is done by a vetted local landscaper we work with.
The landscaper arrives
You don't need to be home, as long as they can get into the yard and pets are inside.
They do the work you asked for
Mowing, trimming, edging, weeds or a cleanup, then the clippings and debris are cleaned up and hauled off.
You look it over
Walk the yard when it's done. Missed a spot? Tell us, and we'll send them back to fix it.
Then you pay
By card through Square, once the work is done. No deposit. Prices are before New Mexico gross receipts tax.
If something isn't right
Missed spots. Tell us within 48 hours of the visit, with a photo if you can, and we'll send the landscaper back to fix it at no charge.
Something damaged? Tell us within 72 hours, with photos, and please don't repair it yourself before we've seen it. The details are in our terms.
Need to change the day?
Email vrsandy45@gmail.com as soon as you know. If weather stops the work, we'll move it, at no charge either way.
Installs are different
For installs, the landscaper we connect you with sets up their own visit and quote, and you agree the price, the schedule and how to get ready with them directly.
