Do you include grass collection and disposal in your quote?
Will any damage to edging, borders or fixtures be covered?
Are there any additional fees for steep slopes or restricted access?
What payment methods and terms apply for emergency call-outs?
How to Avoid Surprises
Ensure clear access: unlock gates and remove obstacles.
Reserve a parking space near the lawn for rapid equipment access.
Confirm out-of-hours or weekend availability if needed.
Ask for a written emergency rate including any premiums.
Check whether weather delays or ground conditions affect the booking.
