Free Landscaper
Service Agreement
Stop the awkwardness of chasing checks while standing on a client’s lawn and reclaim your time with a professional, automated follow-up system.
Pro Contractor Tip
Ensure your service agreement includes a 'Right to Suspend' clause, stating that all maintenance and seasonal services will be paused immediately once an account reaches 30 days past due.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Landscaper, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle a long-term client who suddenly stops paying on time?
Personal relationships often make collections harder. By using a digital Dunning Engine, you take the 'personality' out of the process. The system sends the reminders automatically, allowing you to remain the friendly expert on-site while the automated 'robot' handles the firm business reminders.
Is it professional to stop mowing a lawn if the client hasn't paid the previous month?
It is a standard business practice to protect your cash flow. Using an automated system ensures your clients receive consistent warnings before a stop-work order is triggered. This transparency maintains professionalism and ensures the client isn't surprised when your crew doesn't show up.
How can I reduce the number of late payments without making 20 phone calls a week?
The key is an automated dunning sequence. Instead of manual outreach, a Dunning Engine triggers a series of escalating emails and texts the moment a due date passes. This creates a 'set it and forget it' workflow that secures your revenue without you ever having to pick up the phone.
