the thing is, if we can get 3-5 bills for each property to thatch and seed, giving up 2 weeks worth of cutting isnt killing me, but it does put a small dent in the monthly billings. i guess im not wording my question properly. if the client is contracted for 28 cuts, fert program, spring and fall cleanups, and billed on 10 equal payments, and THEY request thatching and seeding, should you deduct the price of two cuts from the monthly service fee, if u r not gonna cut the next two weeks after seeding? i know what u mean as far as repairing damaged areas of the lawn. we generally get tons of work that customers request thatching and seeding of the entire property, even if they dont need it, they believe they do, and i give it to them. i dont believe u should thatch and seed, then go back a few days later and trample the place with equipment and men walking on the newly seeded lawn.
