We are snowbirds and contracted for a one-time grand sweep of the property for fertilizing and for pest control. On the advice of our yard man we then added quarterly applications of each to the contract. The service rep started to go on and on to try to upsell us to a platinum plan, but we stood firm and explained that he could write the contract or not - there are lots of providers in the area - he wrote it as we wanted. And the man who weeds and whatever around our home says the property looks great.
