How Do Payment and Pausing Work?
A Free Quote, a Season Paid Up Front, and You Pause by Text
Getting a price is free. When you book, we keep a card on file. We only charge it once you've been paired with a qualified local lawn care crew. The season is paid up front. You can pause for a vacation with one text. Cancel anytime and we refund half of your unused visits.
Paying
- No charge to get a price, and no credit card needed for it.
- We keep a card on file when you book, and it's only charged once you've been paired with a qualified local crew.
- You pay for the season up front.
- Your exact price is in writing, in your price text, before you say yes.
- You never pay for a cut your crew missed. Under the On-Time Guarantee, that cut is free.
- Book the season and your first cut is free. Golden Oak pays for it.
Pausing
Going away for two weeks? Text us "pause" with your dates. Your crew skips your visits and picks up again when you're back. If your plans change, just text again.
Cancelling
You can cancel anytime. We refund half of your unused visits to the card on file.
Why we do it this way
Your crew saves your day for you all season, and Golden Oak pays for your first cut. Paying up front keeps that fair. Golden Oak Lawn Care matches you with a vetted, insured local partner crew who does the work, and the Golden Oak Guarantee backs every visit.
