Terms of service

These terms cover grass cutting for personal, family, or household use in Edmonton, Beaumont, and Leduc. I do not cut businesses, parking lots, or plazas.

When a booking exists

The request form is a request, not a contract. Check it before you send it. You can close the page instead of sending. A booking starts when I confirm it in writing and you do not decline that confirmation. You can correct a mistake, or decline, before I confirm and before the work starts.

If the booking is confirmed by email or another text message on the internet, and the amount is more than $50, Alberta's Internet Sales Contract Regulation applies. Whether a booking is over that amount depends on the price I confirm. I give you the same description, price, and cancellation terms either way.

Within 15 days after a booking is confirmed, I send you a copy you can keep. The copy includes your name, the date, the service, the price, how to pay, when the work starts, and these terms. The invoice is that copy when it is sent to the email you gave me.

Price

The site shows starting lawn prices. A one-time cut starts at $40.00 for the front, $45.00 for the back, and $70.00 for front and back together. Front and back together costs less than booking each side alone. Prices may vary with the actual lawn size. A weekly plan is 4 cuts in one calendar month at a lower rate per cut: $136.00 for the front, $152.00 for the back, and $240.00 for front and back. A biweekly plan is 2 cuts in one calendar month: $74.00 for the front, $82.00 for the back, and $128.00 for front and back.

The price on the request form is the estimate for the choices you selected. Under Alberta's Consumer Protection Act I will not charge more than 10% above that estimate unless you agree to the higher price before the work. A change you ask for, such as adding the other lawn, is a new price only if we both agree. A price I have confirmed does not go up because the public rates change later.

A weekly or biweekly plan is one price for the cuts in the calendar month on the invoice. A one-time cut is the price of that visit. There is no customs duty or delivery fee.

Payment and start date

I do not take card numbers on this website. You can pay an invoice by a Square link, by e-transfer, cash, or a card I arrange with you. The invoice shows the due date. I do not add interest.

A one-time cut starts on the date I confirm with you. A weekly or biweekly plan starts with the first cut in the month named on its invoice. The place of the work is the house on the booking. I always attempt the cut. If roads are closed, I am ill, equipment fails, or the property cannot be reached safely, I try to contract that portion out or refund the published rate for the part that was not cut.

Your part and mine

You give a usable house address and tell me about gates, pets, and anything on the lawn I should avoid. I am responsible for damage I cause by failing to take reasonable care. I am not responsible for a condition a careful cut would not reveal, or for damage that was already there.

Bookings are with an adult. If the household member arranging the work is under 18, a parent or guardian should send the request.

Law

Alberta law, and the federal laws of Canada that apply, govern a booking. The courts of Alberta can hear a dispute. That does not stop you from using a right under the Consumer Protection Act, or from complaining to a privacy commissioner. Cancellation and refund details are on those pages. Nothing here is an agreement to give up a right the law does not let you give up.
