Lawn care contract template: mowing and landscaping maintenance
The short answer
A lawn care contract says which services you’ll do, how often, what it costs, what happens in bad weather and how either side can cancel. Edit the visits and wording below, set your prices and season dates, and print it or save the PDF for both of you to sign. It doesn’t renew on its own, and it isn’t legal advice.
Turn a season of lawn care into steady, signed work. Every word is yours to change.

What’s covered
Mow, trim edges and blow clippings off hard surfaces on the schedule above, weather permitting. Spring and fall cleanups clear beds and lawn of leaves and light debris. If a visit is rained out, we'll come on the next workable day.
What’s not covered
Tree work, fertilizer and weed control unless listed above, irrigation repairs, storm cleanup, and damage from hidden objects the customer didn't mark. We'll quote extra work first. Lawn treatments may need a state license, so list them only if you hold one. This agreement isn't a warranty or insurance.
What the customer gets for signing up
Priority scheduling ahead of non-agreement customers, and we'll remind you when your next visit is due.
Payment
Customer pays the total above when this agreement is signed. Repairs outside this agreement are quoted and approved before we do them.
How long it lasts
This agreement runs from the start date to the end date above. It renews only if we both agree in writing.
Cancelling
Either of us can cancel with 30 days' written notice. We'll refund the unused part of the price, less any visits already made at our regular rate.
Access and safety
Customer gives us safe access to the equipment on the agreed visit dates. If a visit has to be moved, either of us will give as much notice as we can.

How it works
What to settle before you sign
- Frequency: weekly, every other week or as needed
- Rain days: when you’ll come instead
- What’s extra: fertilizer, weed control, storm cleanup
- Payment: per visit or a flat monthly price
- Cancelling: how much notice, and what happens to anything prepaid
Applying fertilizer or weed control can require a state license, so check before you add it. For help with the price, use the lawn care pricing calculator. This template is a starting point, so ask an attorney if a contract is large or if you’re not sure.
