Jimbo, we don't have an annual contract with our mowers. They bill us each month at the beginning of the month. We do, however, have them take care of the mowing (and edging, weeding the flower beds, and trimming the shrubs) year-round - that was all we talked about with them up-front. No contract, just a "Here's-what-we'd-like-done"/"Here's-what-we-charge-per-month" verbal agreement.
Might be worth giving them a call to see if they can help you out. John - Honey-Do Guys (352) 753-5558 I wouldn't give them the '5-Star Award' but they get the job done for us.
