How to use it
- Fill in sections 3 to 7 before the season starts, and walk the property with the client so the scope matches what they expect.
- Put anything that costs extra in section 5, so a mulch delivery or storm cleanup never turns into an argument.
- Agree on rain days and dry spells up front: they cause most of the "I paid for a visit that didn't happen" calls.
