​UNCLE ONOIN'S ELITE LAWN & GARDEN CARE: Pay on the first of the month, all the lawn care and landscaping maintenance is taken care of all month.

 

Summary: Assume you purchase 1 hour a week. Including mowing, we will provide every service we are able to in that one hour every week. You are able to purchase additional hours at a discounted rate. You enjoy discounts and priority for all of our services!  

​

Elite pricing: Each hour is $100, a 20% discount for our labor rates, which includes the way we price lawn mowing. When you sign up, you decide how many hours to purchase in half hour increments. This is the number of hours and the cost of your lawn service from March until November. Example, 1.5 hours per week = $150 per week. 2 hours per week = $200 per week. Our normal labor rates would be $187.50 and $250, respectively.  

​

Payment: Your payment method is kept on file and will be automatically charged on the first of the month to cover services for the rest of that month.

Summary: We will provide services, as needed and as time allows, up to the amount of time you purchase in a week. Up to two hours of labor will be included in March and November (2 hours each of those months) for Spring and Fall Cleanups. This includes labor for installing mulch in the Spring and removing leaves in the Fall. Mulch and hauling leaves and debris to the landfill will be additional charges. The cost of mulch is based on seasonal prices and trips to the landfill begin at $50 per load. Landfill trips are based on time and mileage from your home. Spring and Fall Cleanups will be billed at $100 per hour ($1.67 per minute) for any hour over the included 2 hours. We will include up to 2 hours 15 minutes. Any minutes over 2 hours 15 minutes will be billed at the discounted labor rate of $100 per hour ($1.67 a minute).   

 

HOURS. Choose the hours you want per week at signup. We recommend you consult with a representative from Uncle Onion's to help you determine how many hours are realistic for your lawn and landscaping needs. Each week begins with the amount of hours you prepaid per week and ends with 0 hours of service. No more than the weekly hours you prepaid will be applied to any given service per week, unless otherwise noted or agreed upon. You can add additional hours in a week or month, but you cannot subtract hours. Additional hours must be scheduled at least one week before the desired service date. Additional hours may be charged immediately upon completion of the requested work, or on the first of the month, depending when the hours were requested by you. No refunds for unused hours. No carrying hours into future weeks or months. This service does not allow skipping weeks or services. To provide the best service possible with this program, each week must include a service, even if the service takes less time than the time you have allotted for the week. If your lawn does not need to be mowed in a given week, we will perform other included services up to the time limit you have purchased, or until the job has been completed, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. There is no guarantee that we will use the entire time you purchased for any given week, or that there will be enough time to complete all tasks in a given week, but the time works out over the season for additional services and discounts offered to you as an Elite client. At certain times of the year, we may be able to provide our services in less time than the time you purchased for that week. The time you purchase is a minimum to cover our labor charges. Please see Prorated Service Charges below for more information. At our discretion, we may provide extra hours to your lawn & garden at no additional charge to you.  ​

​

Onion Patch Services, aka No Charge Services, are only included up to the hours you have available in a given week. Even if you have no hours available to apply toward a service, you are still able to enjoy the discounted labor rates. For example, if your lawn mowing uses all your hours in a given week, but you would like to have your hedges trimmed, you will pay the discounted labor rate for the exact hours it takes for us to trim your hedges that week. Additional hours must be scheduled at least one week prior to desired service date.

​

Lawn mowing takes precedence over Onion Patch Services. This means you may not have hours available for Onion Patch Services in a given week or month. This program is designed so that weeding, pruning, and other maintenance tasks are completed in the months when grass grows the slowest: March, Mid-Summer, and November. Weeding flower beds will be a constant service as part of your normal lawn mowing schedule. Sometimes you may see us mowing the lawn when you don't agree it needed mowing. Our Gardeners are trained professionals that are equipped with the knowledge of when grass needs to be mowed and when it doesn't. We guarantee that anytime we mow the grass, we made a judgement based on our professional experience with the best interest of the health of your lawn in mind. The only time we will not mow grass is if weather prevents us safely performing the task or the grass has gone dormant and mowing could cause irreparable damage. 

​​

Schedule: Your services will be completed in one day on the same day of the week every week throughout the season. The day of the week your service is scheduled depends on your location within Spotsylvania County. There are no guarantees that we can accommodate a specific day of the week at your request. We operate Monday through Friday and are closed on major holidays. To protect your lawn, we do not perform services in the rain. If your schedule falls on a holiday or is rained out, we will get to you the next day or, in the case of a heavy rain, after the ground has sufficiently dried. You may be rescheduled for a weekend.

 

Service Dates: This service begins on or about March 15 and ends on November 30. You are receiving additional hours and services in March, so March is charged at the full rate. November usually does not require as much lawn mowing, so the hours for additional fall cleanups usually work in your favor.  

 

Prorated Service Charges: Beginning Service: You are enjoying this service at a deep discount, and in return, we have a steady, reliable flow of work for our employees. This service is designed to work best when applied for a full season, from March to November. We rely on the full months payment to cover the services provided throughout the entire month. Therefor, months are only prorated if you start with two or fewer services available in that month. March, April, October, and November will not be prorated, no matter what time of month service begins. This is due to the additional cleanup services offered at the beginning and end of the season. At your discretion, you may choose to prorate those months for reduced included hours for Spring and Fall Cleanup. We may agree to start you on an ELITE service if you begin service with two or fewer services left in the month (other than March, April, October, or November). High grass surcharge fee may apply for first lawn mowing service. Ending Service: No refunds for unused hours, even if you cancel with hours left in the month. 

​

Cancelling: Cancel at anytime. Follow our cancellation policy in the terms and conditions and no additional charges or fees will incur. No refunds for unused hours, even if you cancel with hours left in the month. We stand behind our satisfaction guarantee and will consider refunds for negligence on our part, per our terms and conditions.

This service will be provided for up to one hour, or however long it usually takes for us to mow your lawn, whichever is LESS.

​

This guide helps us stay on schedule. Please read carefully. 

Summary: We will provide you with our premium electric lawn mowing services, as needed. As time allows, we will provide some Onion Patch Services up to the amount of time it usually takes to mow your lawn.

​

Details: This is a weekly lawn mowing service intended for client's that want their lawn looking its best with a pay-as-you go payment plan. This plan does not allow skipping service or reducing the weekly rate, but if your lawn does not need mowing in a given week, we will perform some Onion Patch services. We will make the determination wether the lawn needs mowing or not. Sometimes you may see us mowing the lawn when you don't agree it needed mowing. Our Gardeners are trained professionals that are equipped with the knowledge of when grass needs to be mowed and when it doesn't. We guarantee that anytime we mow the grass, we made a judgement based on our professional experience with the best interest of the health of your lawn in mind. The only time we will not mow grass is if weather prevents us safely performing the task or the grass has gone dormant and mowing could cause irreparable damage. 

​

Even when the grass goes dormant due to excess heat or drought conditions, some portions will still grow. In these instances, we will trim the high areas to even out the lawn to keep it looking good. If we notice flower beds need weeding, or small plants, bushes, or trees need pruning, we will provide those services given these services can be completed within the amount of time it normally takes to mow your lawn. We may begin a job, such as weeding a flower bed, and run out of time to complete the job. We will complete this job when time allows. We may not trim bushes or hedges, or prune plants or small trees if we determine it would take more time to complete these tasks than the time available. 

​

Schedule: Your services will be completed in one day on the same day of the week every week throughout the season. The day of the week your service is scheduled depends on your location within Spotsylvania County. There are no guarantees that we can accommodate a specific day of the week at your request. We operate Monday through Friday and are closed on major holidays. To protect your lawn, we do not perform services in the rain. If your schedule falls on a holiday or is rained out, we will get to you the next day or, in the case of a heavy rain, after the ground has sufficiently dried. You may be rescheduled for a weekend.  

​

Cancelling: Cancel at anytime. Follow our cancellation policy in the terms and conditions and no additional charges or fees will incur. We stand behind our satisfaction guarantee and will consider refunds for negligence on our part, per our terms and conditions.

UNCLE ONION'S BASIC LAWN CARE

​

Summary: Uncle Onion's Electric, Organic Lawn Care will provide our premium lawn mowing services every other week (biweekly). This service is not recommended for most lawns and has limited availability due to the difficulty in scheduling biweekly service. 

​

Basic Pricing: This service begins at $85 for most lawns. Our pricing structure is based on $85 minimum for biweekly service, or $125 per hour. 

​

Payment: Your payment method on file will be charged as soon as work is completed. 

​

This guide helps us stay on schedule. Please read carefully. 

Details: This is a biweekly lawn mowing service intended only for lawns that are not fertilized or watered. This plan does not allow skipping service, and does not include any other courtesy services. In our experience, lawns on a biweekly mowing schedule in Spotsylvania County never need to skip a mowing. In fact, we recommend against this service for most lawns because often the grass grows faster than what is healthy to cut every other week. Some lawns are perfect for this service, but if you water or fertilize, we recommend the ESSENTIAL service. Lawns on a biweekly schedule take longer to mow, that is why the upfront price is higher. Even with the premium applied, we may add an additional $25 fee per service if the grass is thick or tall enough to cause us to slow down, go over it twice, or otherwise is taking longer to mow than a lawn of comparable size would had it been on a more frequent mowing schedule.    

​

Schedule: Your service will be completed in one day on the same day of the week every other week throughout the season. The day of the week your service is scheduled depends on your location within Spotsylvania County. There are no guarantees that we can accommodate a specific day of the week at your request. We operate Monday through Friday and are closed on major holidays. To protect your lawn, we do not perform services in the rain. If your schedule falls on a holiday or is rained out, we will get to you the next day or, in the case of a heavy rain, after the ground has sufficiently dried. You may be rescheduled for a weekend. 

​

​Cancelling: Cancel at anytime. Follow our cancellation policy in the terms and conditions and no additional charges or fees will incur. We stand behind our satisfaction guarantee and will consider refunds for negligence on our part, per our terms and conditions.
