TERMS & CONDITIONS, GUARANTEE, AND POLICIES
Organo-Lawn is proud to be the leading organic lawn care company serving the Boulder and Fort Collins area. We specialize in environmentally responsible lawn and tree care solutions that promote long-term landscape health—without exposing your children or pets to harmful chemicals.
Our commitment to excellence means we stand behind our work. If our service ever falls short of your expectations, please reach out to us right away—we’ll do our best to make it right.
Important: Sprinkler Programming Must Follow the 1-2-3-2-1 Technique
If you’re enrolled in a full-season program and your lawn is having issues with bare spots, browning, disease pressure, or insect pressure, the cause of these lawn problems is almost always related to sprinkler performance and / or its programming.
To ensure optimal results from our organic approach, your sprinkler system must be programmed following our 1-2-3-2-1 watering technique, and your lawn must be mowed at the correct height. When these conditions are met, we can successfully guarantee the success of almost any lawn.
Need Help? We’re Here for You
If you’re concerned about your lawn’s appearance, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re happy to answer questions about our products, services, or watering practices.
Note: We typically request photos of the affected areas. Photos help us quickly assess the problem and often eliminate the need for an in-person visit—saving time and ensuring faster resolution.

Best Professional Lawn Care Company
Credit Card / ACH Policy
In the past, Organo-Lawn did not require lawn care customers to have a credit card or ACH information on file or to make prepayments. Unfortunately, some customers have failed to pay their bills, which has recently become more problematic. As a result, we faced the choice of either raising our prices or requiring customers to keep a card or ACH information on file. While we value our trust-based relationship with our customers, we now require that all lawn and tree care customers maintain payment information on file to receive services.
We understand that some customers may feel uncomfortable about keeping a credit card on file, and we appreciate your concerns. Please be assured that we have taken every measure to ensure that your information is as secure as possible.
- We keep your information in a private, encrypted server that is checked monthly for vulnerabilities.
- We ask for your information over the phone or through written mail in order to safeguard your privacy.
- After we have your information, only the last four digits of your card number are visible to our office staff.
If you prefer not to keep a payment method on file with us, a 5% fee will be applied to all services. This fee helps offset unpaid service balances and the administrative time and effort involved in collecting late or outstanding payments.
When will we process the payment?
We only charge your card when you authorize us to do so, the day after a service if you have auto-pay set up, or if your account is more than 45 days or more past due the card will be processed.
You may find it very convenient!
Since we have your credit card information on file, making payments is a breeze! Simply call our office when you’re ready, and we’ll process your payment quickly. For your convenience, consider enrolling in our auto-run program, which automatically charges your card after each service, ensuring you never have to worry about a thing!
Is there an alternative?
If you prefer not to keep a payment method on file with us, a 5% fee will be applied to all services. This fee helps offset unpaid service balances and the administrative time and effort involved in collecting late or outstanding payments.
If you prefer not to have your credit card information stored with us and don’t want to pay the additional fee, we are happy to provide an alternative option of prepaying for your lawn care services. When arranging your services, simply let us know that you would like to prepay instead of keeping a card on file. After that, please send us a check in the mail covering the total cost of the service for the entire season.
What if we make a mistake and overcharge your card?
We are dedicated to resolving issues as quickly as possible. If you notice a discrepancy in your records, please call contact us at (303) 499-2000 or [email protected].
Can you pay by check?
Yes; while we will ask you to keep a credit card on file, we’re happy to accept checks as payment.
Please mail any checks to:

Boulder, CO 80301

- On the morning of the application date, you’ll receive an email with the expected arrival time of our applicator at your home.
- We also send email alerts when we notice issues affecting a majority of lawns. These alerts may include information about insect pressure on trees, lawn disease warnings, proper watering techniques, and more. This proactive approach allows us to assist you in addressing any problems with your lawn.
- When we introduce a new service or product, we will inform our customers via email, ensuring you’re among the first to know.
- Additionally, you can email us with your questions or photos of lawn issues. This enables us to address problems more quickly without the need for a technician visit, which helps save gas and reduce air pollution.

Remember we NEVER give your email address to anyone else and we promise that we will never sell your email. We use your email address for communication of important information, also known as good purposes.
Auto Renew of Lawn Care Services
Our full-season program is designed to renew automatically each year so your lawn care continues without interruption. If you prefer not to renew, you can opt out at any time by contacting us and requesting removal from auto-renew.
Each spring, before the new season begins, we send an email reminder outlining your upcoming services. This message includes a list of services and estimated service dates. We encourage you to review this information and make any changes or cancellations at that time.
Auto-renew helps ensure you never miss important treatments and also secures our best available pricing for the season.
Full-season programs cancelled before completion will incur a cancellation discount correction, adjusting previously discounted services to the standard One-Time or À La Carte pricing. This is not an additional fee—it is an adjustment to reflect the correct pricing for completed services.

These Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) govern the provision of lawn care services, including weed control, fertilization, aeration, sprinkler system services, and other lawn care services (collectively, the “Services”). By engaging our Services, the Client agrees to these terms.

- Weather conditions may affect application timing; services may be rescheduled with or without notice.
Fertilization Services
- Fertilizer applications are applied according to seasonal needs and manufacturer guidelines.

- The Client understands that fertilization enhances growth but does not guarantee the prevention of all lawn issues.
- Pets and children should be kept off treated areas until they are dry.

Sprinkler System Services
- Sprinkler services may include inspection, adjustment, repair, and seasonal activation or winterization.
- The Client is responsible for ensuring water supply lines and system components are accessible and functional.
- We are not liable for pre-existing issues, poor system design, or failures caused by improper maintenance.
- Repairs are billed separately unless otherwise stated in a service package.
Client Responsibilities
- Provide access to the property on scheduled service dates.
- Maintain proper lawn care practices, including watering and mowing.
- Notify us of any concerns within 48 hours of service completion.

Payment Terms
