LABOUR HOUR

A labour hour is defined as 1 hour of labour performed by 1 professional. Therefore, a team of 2 professionals completing 1 hour of work is equivalent to 2 labour hours. If you have any questions regarding labour hours or billing procedures, please call the office prior to your scheduled service.

RATE CHANGES

All prices are based on the size of your home. Most of our service pricing will be in accordance to the home size and the customised price that’s shown for each of the home sizes. However, some homes may require extra attention to provide a complete lawn service. The standard services we offer and the service time for each of the lawns are based on the following assumptions of maximum lawn mowing time in labour hours as defined below.

(The time limit is only inclusive for the standard services: lawn mowing, whipper snipping and leaf blowing).

Lawn Street reserves the right to re-evaluate rates at any time based on the amount of time it takes to perform our services to meet our customer’s standards or expectations. We will contact the client to discuss possible price or service revisions if the service time will exceed significantly from our maximum time allocated for each home size.

In the event where cleaning teams decide to refuse service, you will be charged a $50 booking fee due to incorrect description of job. This fee is in place to cover expenses they incur for lost travel time and fuel.

This is usually only an issue in CBD areas where parking is a challenge. We do require a place to park close to your front door, so your lawn care service is uninterrupted. At any time where gardeners have no choice but to use paid parking, we will ask for your agreement prior and add the cost onto your final invoice. Otherwise, we have the right to cancel/reschedule service if no parking is available.

LATE CANCELLATIONS/RESCHEDULING

Repeated cancellations or offense will cause a disruption in our service and may result in a cancellation of your service all together.
