Dumb question, huh? (Duh, when it stops growing.) Well I hired a lawncare guy when I moved into my house (back in May, 2007). He was coming every two weeks. In October, I got him to come every three weeks as I couldn’t see an appreciable amount of growth after two weeks. October 26th was the first time he waited 3 weeks. He’s due again November 16th (two weeks from now).

When he was here on 10/26/07, he mainly edged and got the leaves off the yard, although he did run the mower… I don’t want to NOT have a lawncare guy if needed, but I also don’t want to pay for something NOT needed; hence, my question — how do I tell when it’s okay to not worry about mowing the lawn for the winter?

(I live in the Houston, Texas area.)

Are there any lawncare professionals out there that can answer me? If services are cancelled, how does that affect our “client-customer” relationship? What’s the protocol in ending services for the season?
Slorry. I forgot to state that the reason I hired a lawncare guy is that I am physically unable to do the lawncare myself and must depend on others for this.

I have a lawn care service and every month on my bill, an additional amount is added on for sales tax. Texas does have sales tax, but is it legal to charge sales tax on a service like lawn care?
