Lawn Care Contracts, Estimate Forms & Pricing Calculator

Most lawn care disputes start with something nobody wrote down: a sprinkler head hidden in the grass, a pet fence wire cut by the edger, a visit skipped in a dry spell and still billed, a cleanup that turned into "while you're here, can you do the beds too?", or a monthly plan nobody can explain in October. This kit gives a lawn care business the paperwork and the pricing to measure and map every lawn first, put the season and the payments in writing, get every change and every named risk signed, and close each season with a clear statement.

You get 8 contract templates: a lawn care service agreement with a property and service schedule, a seasonal maintenance plan and payment schedule (equal monthly payments, prepay option, skipped-visit credits, end-of-season statement), a proposal and estimate with up to three options, a one-page customer terms sheet with initial boxes, a property, irrigation and hidden objects waiver for named risks only, a cleanup and one-time services agreement, a small landscape project agreement with an 811 record, and a commercial and HOA grounds maintenance agreement. 8 job forms cover the walkthrough and measurement sheet, a new customer service sheet, a property condition record, a hidden objects and irrigation map, change orders, a route and visit log, concern reports and season renewal. 6 customer care sheets cover the welcome, before the first visit, rain days and dry spells, cleanups and leaves, after aeration and overseeding, and after a landscape project.

The Pricing Calculator (Excel and Google Sheets, no macros) prices mowing visits, spring and fall cleanups, leaf removal and core aeration in 4 lawn sizes from your own costs: labor cost, crew size, equipment cost per hour, job hours, yard waste loads, drive and overhead. It adds a minimum charge, the every-two-week mowing price and 6 add-ons (overseeding, shrub trimming, bed weeding, bagging clippings, mulch, extra loads), works out season plans with monthly payments and a prepay price, skipped-visit credits, a deposit and balance, fees and change orders, and logs customers, visits, balances, approvals, waivers and concerns. A 2-page editable price list uses the same numbers. The 38-page guide explains the walkthrough, hidden objects and 811, licensed-only fertilizer and weed control, sales tax and door-to-door examples, each clause, what a waiver can and can't do, pricing, season plans and the end of the season, with worked examples and sources checked in November 2026. The contracts are samples to have reviewed for your state; they are not attorney-drafted and not legal advice, and the example prices are not advice on what to charge.
