SNOW AND ICE MANAGEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. The health and safety of our associates and the communities we serve is top priority. All products used by Alexis Property Management, LLC are registered for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In many cases, in fact, our product selection criteria exceeds that of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Please keep off treated surfaces for a minimum of 24 hours.
2. Once enrolled in our Lawn Maintenance Route, we will provide continuous service from week to week and year to year unless we are notified of a change. It is the customer’s responsibility to notify Alexis Property Management, LLC at least 24hrs prior to regular service date if a change in the routinely scheduled service is needed. If no notification is received, and the property cannot be serviced, the customer will be billed as a normal occurrence. Additionally, if regularly scheduled maintenance cannot be performed due to site conditions, unforeseen by Alexis Property Management, LLC (IE: pets/people present in service area, abnormally wet/dry conditions, locked gates, irrigation system is running, etc.), which result in additional trips being made to your property to complete services, you may be billed a minimum charge for the occurrence even if no services are performed.
3. Alexis Property Management, LLC will not be responsible for damage to obstacles that protrude from the surface of the soil. This includes utilities such as water shut offs, sewer vents & clean outs and protruding objects such as fences, deck supports, foundation or trim of home, downspouts, pavement, sidewalks, landscaped areas, plants, trees, or other obstructions 0-6 inches from ground where trimming or edging is performed. These areas sustain normal wear and tear from the constant spinning of trimmer or edger heads. If you do not want trimming or edging performed, please specify. When grass is tall it is impossible to see all obstructions that are in the path of our equipment. Alexis Property Management, LLC will not be liable for damage to hidden obstructions. It is the responsibility of the customer to police the area for such obstructions prior to services being provided. As a way to ensure that these issues do not arise, we encourage you to regularly inspect areas serviced by our equipment for hoses, sprinkler units/equipment, outdoor furniture, toys of kids or pets, trash, and excessive limb or tree debris. Additionally, Alexis Property Management, LLC will not be liable for ensuring the closure of gates/fences located on your property. It is the customer’s responsibility to check all gates/fences prior to releasing children and/or pets into a fenced yard.
4. If it doesn't rain within 24 hours after our visit, please water your lawn to help achieve optimal results from our lawn application. Lawns usually require 1-2” of water per week, depending on factors like soil type, temperature, and humidity. We recommend long, infrequent watering (1-2 times per week). Your soil should be moist to a depth of 6-12” after a watering. For best results water early in the morning. At midday, more water evaporates than goes into the soil. Evening watering invites trouble because plants that stay wet overnight can be more prone to developing certain diseases that thrive in moist conditions.
5. If weeds are present on your lawn, you may notice visible results within a few weeks of your first visit. Depending on the condition of your lawn, it can take time to have a great lawn. As your specialist spends more time working on your lawn, your lawn’s appearance will continue to improve. Every lawn and its challenges are unique, and we will provide progress updates and special instructions for your lawn at each service visit. We guarantee that if any problems reoccur after expected control (2-3 weeks), we will return to your property to re-treat the problem at no additional charge to you.
6. We try to maintain a regular service schedule week to week, but Alexis Property Management, LLC reserves the right to adjust your service day and time to accommodate more efficient routing and/or weather issues. In the event of inclement weather or a holiday, the service will be scheduled on the next available work day. Lawn Maintenance crews operate 6 days a week. Work will begin no earlier than or end any later than the times outlined by your local Municipality’s Commercial Curfew/ Noise Ordinance.
7. Service is effective between April 15, and December 15 of the Calendar Year unless circumstances prohibit services in early spring and late fall.
8. There are no guarantees, expressed, nor implied, to living vegetation after it has left the care of Alexis Property Management, LLC.
9. Weeding and trimming/spraying of cracks, curbs, and seams in paved surfaces or fence lines is NOT included in your regular lawn maintenance service though is included in the Bed Maintenance Program.
