Effective: 2026 Season

Terms of Service

"Our mission is to deliver clear communication, fair pricing, and dependable scheduling—always with your satisfaction and best interests at heart. These terms help us deliver the best possible service for many seasons to come."

Key Sections

Business Days Monday–Saturday, excluding company-observed holidays.
Notice Cutoff After-hours messages are handled the next business day: after 5:00 PM Mon–Fri and after 3:00 PM Sat.

1. Weather Conditions

Your Safety & Quality Results

We never cut corners on safety or quality. If weather makes it unsafe or risks harming your landscape (e.g., rutting from soft ground), we will promptly reschedule.

Transparent Communication

You’ll receive timely notifications for major scheduling changes. Our automated reminders also alert you when rain is forecasted.

Rain Policy: On days with a high chance of rain, we’ll note that your service may be automatically moved to the next available date—typically the following day—unless delays continue.

2. Price Validity

Fair & Accurate Pricing (7–14 Days)

Estimates remain valid for 7–14 days, especially during peak growing seasons when material costs and conditions can change quickly. If pricing needs to be adjusted, we’ll let you know right away.

Benefit of Consistent Service

Regular visits keep your property looking its best and help you avoid additional cleanup costs from overgrowth (see Section 4).

3. Payment Terms

For Projects

  • Deposit (50%): Reserves your project date and covers materials.
  • Final Payment (50%): Due upon completion of work.

For Recurring Services

Card on File (Required): All recurring services require a valid credit card kept securely on file. Billing is processed automatically within 1–7 days after each service for a smooth, hassle-free experience.

Card Processing

Auto-Pay (Card on File): No processing fee. We’ll take care of it.

Manual Invoices / Phone Payments: Payments made outside of auto-pay carry a 3% processing fee. Recurring service is auto-pay only—it keeps billing simple and your service uninterrupted.

Late Payments & Collections

Recurring: If a card is declined and not resolved within 10 days, a $25 late fee is added after a 3-day grace period. An additional $25 applies every 14 days until cleared. The late-fee timeline begins from the first failed charge attempt.

Projects: Unpaid final balances after 10 days incur a 5% late fee after a 3-day grace period. Interest and additional fees will not exceed the maximum limits allowed under Texas law.

4. The Value of Consistency (Skipped Visits)

We want your property to look its absolute best year-round. Our recurring pricing is built around a consistent route schedule—that’s what helps us stay efficient and keep your service priced fairly.

When a visit is skipped, the next visit often takes longer—not only from growth, but from seasonal debris (leaves/pine needles), edging buildup, weeds, and extra cleanup. Even in slower months, properties still accumulate work that has to be caught up.

Example: In January, your grass may not be “twice as tall,” but if leaves pile up, beds collect debris, edges soften, or weeds pop up, the return visit can require extra blowing, extra bagging, and added detail work to bring everything back to our standard.

To keep scheduling smooth and fair for everyone on the route, we require two full business days’ notice to skip, reschedule, or make changes.

Strongly recommended: Avoid skipping whenever possible. Consistency keeps your property looking better and helps prevent unnecessary buildup and extra reset work.

Need a temporary pause? If you’d like to pause service for a short period (a few weeks to a couple months), we can usually accommodate it with the same notice required for a cancellation. Since we’re holding your spot on the route, we’ll treat it as a pause—not a cancellation—when we receive proper notice and clear communication.

Resuming after a pause: When service restarts, pricing and any “reset” work may vary based on current conditions and the time required to restore the property to our normal standard.

5. Handling Unanticipated Circumstances

Open & Honest Communication

If we uncover unexpected issues (for example: sprinkler line concerns, drainage problems, or buried obstacles), we’ll notify you promptly and review next steps with you before moving forward.

Storm Damage

Routine maintenance does not include storm cleanup. If storm-related damage occurs, we’ll provide a fair, detailed estimate to restore your property safely and efficiently.

Our Responsibility

If our team causes damage, we take full responsibility and will arrange prompt repairs.

Pre-Existing Issues

We can’t assume responsibility for failures caused by older systems, improper installations, pre-existing defects, or shallow utility lines. When possible, we document and notify you of pre-existing issues we observe.

Sprinkler & Aeration Care:

  • We work carefully to avoid damage during aeration, but some systems are installed too shallow and may be vulnerable.
  • Please mark sprinkler heads before service when possible.
  • If heads are not visible/marked and damage occurs to a shallow or improperly installed system, we cannot be responsible for repairs.

Obstructions, Site Conditions & Timely Decisions:

  • If hidden challenges arise (rocks, roots, buried debris, shallow utilities), additional labor or materials may be required.
  • To avoid delays, we ask for decisions within about 60 minutes while the crew is on-site.
  • If we don’t receive approval, we may pause work, adjust scope, or demobilize per Section 6.

Site Readiness:

Please ensure the work area is accessible and clear (vehicles moved, items removed, pets secured, gates unlocked, etc.). If we arrive and cannot proceed, we may need to reschedule and a demobilization fee may apply.

6. Cancellation, Rescheduling & Demobilization

We respect your time and ours. Clear access and timely notice help us keep routes on schedule and prices fair. Please ensure the work area is accessible when we arrive (vehicles moved, items cleared, pets secured, gates unlocked, etc.).

Notice Requirements

  • Recurring services: Kindly provide 2 full business days’ notice to cancel, skip, or reschedule.
  • Projects / cleanups: Kindly provide 7 full business days’ notice due to materials, scheduling, and prep.

Demobilization & Access Fees

  • Small jobs / recurring: $25 if less than 2 full business days’ notice is given, or if we arrive and cannot proceed due to access/site readiness.
  • Mid-sized & large projects: Fee is based on actual incurred costs (labor, equipment, restocking, admin). Minimum $250.

Fair Refunds

  • If work is stopped mid-way, refunds (if any) are based on work completed and expenses already incurred.

Note: Demobilization charges are assessed once per occurrence. Evergreen Outdoor Services, LLC may waive, reduce, or adjust fees at its sole discretion of Operations or General Manager based on the situation.

7. Insurance & Satisfaction Assurance

  • Fully Insured: We carry liability insurance for your peace of mind.
  • Liability Limit: Limited to the cost of the specific service performed.
  • Force Majeure: Not liable for delays beyond our control.
  • Your Satisfaction: Contact us if you're unhappy; we’ll resolve it promptly.
  • Plant Installation: We guarantee proper installation but cannot guarantee long-term survival due to nature.

We will repair damage we cause. Our maximum liability is limited to the cost of the service performed, except where prohibited by law.

9. Photography & Marketing Permission

We may take before-and-after photos of our work for quality control, training, and our portfolio/marketing.

Your privacy matters—we do our best to avoid or remove identifying details (house numbers, addresses, license plates, and personal items) by framing shots carefully and, when needed, cropping or blurring. If something identifying is accidentally visible, let us know and we’ll promptly edit or remove the image.

Opt-out anytime: If you prefer we don’t use photos of your property, just text or email us and we’ll gladly opt you out.

10. Entire Agreement

These Terms & Conditions, along with your accepted estimate or invoice, form the entire agreement. No verbal promises alter these terms unless confirmed in writing.

Thank You: By accepting an estimate, scheduling service, or submitting a deposit, you agree to these terms and help us deliver dependable, high-quality service for our community.
