Terms of Service for Snow Removal

Duration of Snow Removal Service

Snow removal contract starts November 1st 2023 to April 15th 2024

Conditions

RLawn will start snow removal after an accumulation of approximately 5cm (2inches) or more. Snow removal accumulation is based by the forecast.  The Contractor shall be permitted to remove snow from your property at any time.. Any snowfall less than five centimeters (5cm) is the responsibility of the homeowner.

If the forecast is calling for five to ten centimeters (5cm – 10cm) of snow the Contractor may wait to dispatch operators until the snow has finished falling. There will be no overnight Snow Clearing Services for snowfall less than seven centimeters (7cm).

Client will apply ice melt, salt or sand after RLawn or the contractor has cleared the snow.

The snow removal time will vary pending on amount of snow that has fallen or type. If inadequate space exist on a client’s property for snow storage.  The client Shall make arrangements to have the snow placed in a different area that will not decrease the efficiency of the contractor. 

In the event snow accumulation in excess of 300 cm occurs, the Customer(s) agree to pay additional fees on a per-centimeter basis calculated as follows: Example: (based on a contract value of $499 and 100 extra centimeters) [Contract Price] divided by [300 cm] = [additional price per cm] times [amount of cm]

Example:  $499 / 300cm(10ft) = $1.66/cm x 100cm = $125.00 

The contractor is responsible for removal of snow and not icing that may occur. 

If cars are left in the driveway snow will only be cleared from accessible areas that open into the street.
