We will request additional funds approval at the time we recognize that the project is going to be over time, or if the final time projects to vary from the estimate by more than 25%. If you are givien a price for a project, this is an estimate and not a final price. The type of jobs we give exact pricing for are for deliveries, dump fees, and work that is completed off site from your property.

Our lowest ongoing labor rate is $48 / hr plus a $28 onsite surcharge per tech.

Overages can occur, but without overages, the target price becomes a floor price for ongoing services, and the services are no longer based on time. This allows for the variation from fast crews to slow crews to not affect your recurring price, and provide you a steady price you can depend on Only overages from extra tall grass or other customer created complications can have a temporary impact on the price of that service.
