[Choice Maintenance]

I happened to be outside the last time, and I watched the young man go rapidly door to door around the neighborhood. He spent no more than 3 minutes at my property where he did some (unneeded) edging along the street side and one side of my driveway. The $50 charge seems excessive to me. I called the company, and was told they do not do a winter "vacation". I do understand the company needs $600 a year so that they can keep a steady cash flow. It is not that I need the money, but I can't help but feel used. If I were here all year, I would do my own lawn. My wife says I should not drop the service. Comments?

Hi ryoungs,

As stated above by other users, the cost is averaged out for the whole year. We cut weekly during the growing season and biweekly during the dormant season. Its a flat rate billing to make things easier for both parties. We do offer seasonal mowing at a higher rate per month but depending on how long you require the service it may not be that beneficial for you. If you feel the rate you were quoted may be a mistake for your size property then you can always reach out to us for a reevaluation. 352-502-2880
