It would be a matter of minutes for the owners to email, text or call the tenant to provide notice. Why would they fail to do so?

If they have concerns about how the OP is caring for the property, they should have been the ones to reach out to him/her.
It may be out there, but in 10 years of owning rentals and helping others with rentals, I have never seen a lease that required notice for doing outside work. Most owners have no idea when their lawn, shrub, weeding, or pest control people are showing up to do outside work. There are to many uncontrollable things that cause schedules to change. Almost all have a 24 hour notice for entering the home. And in my personal leases I provide a clause giving 24 hour notice for outside work on the structure itself, (power washing ie) but even that is unusual.
