I hate when this happens.....
Pulled up in front of a regular mowing job today and it was just mowed with a 21".
 Left a bill for the last four services and one fert app. Plus a $20 trip charge for today.... Wrote on it "if you no longer require our service I would appreciate a phone call or e-mail saying so". We will see what happens.

Be careful how you word that type of note. I had one of my yards get cut, the homeowner never figured out who did it. We figured some LCO did the wrong house. Still my customer after a couple of years.

Wow, $20 trip charge? This one wasn't in the same neighborhood as any others that you cut? Or even the same town for that matter. Did you have that penalty written into the contract or verbally agreed to?

What is wrong with a trip charge?

If it's not in the contract then you can't charge for it. Or at least, they don't have to pay it if you charge it.

Respect for the lawn guy is so low that the lawn guys dont even have a problem with it anymore. Still, I wouldve made sure it wasnt a mix up or granny getting some excersize before I left the note. The service charge is legit if your in a rural area.

I think $20 is a bit ridiculous. you only need to cover a little gas from driving there. $5 is more than reasonable. good luck keeping that account. I'd pay everything BUT $20 charge and fire your @ss. |
