Products may be adjusted to meet the specific needs of your lawn. Not all products are included in every lawn care program.

Because of these variables, complete control, prevention, or eradication of weeds, insects, or disease cannot be guaranteed.

Crabgrass

Control effectiveness depends on proper application timing, climate, soil conditions, and ongoing lawn care. While high-quality products and services are provided, complete prevention or eradication cannot be guaranteed.

Nutsedge is a persistent and invasive weed that can be difficult to fully eliminate. World Class Lawns provides products and services designed to manage and suppress nutsedge growth; however, complete eradication cannot be guaranteed.

If nutsedge treatment is not included in the customer’s current lawn care program and is requested as an additional service, it may be subject to a separate charge. An inspection will be conducted, and the customer will be provided with the cost of the additional treatment for approval prior to service.

Kylinga

Kylinga is an aggressive and invasive grassy weed that may require multiple treatments for control. World Class Lawns offers products and services intended to manage and reduce kylinga populations; however, complete eradication cannot be guaranteed. Treatment results may vary based on environmental factors and ongoing lawn care.

If kylinga treatment is not included in the customer’s current lawn care program and is requested as an additional service, it may be subject to a separate charge.

Spring Seeding – Important Information

There is a common misconception about spring seeding. Spring is the most challenging time of year to establish new grass. During the spring, weed competition is significantly higher than in the fall. Many weeds germinate aggressively at this time and are often stronger than new grass seedlings.

Because weed control products will also damage or kill new seedlings, weeds cannot be safely treated during spring seeding, which further increases the difficulty of success.

For best results, August through October is the ideal time for seeding, weather permitting.
Patience is required when reseeding. In some cases, two or three seeding applications may be necessary to achieve the desired lawn coverage.

Seeding Policy & Warranty

All seedings and re-seedings are provided without warranty.
World Class Lawns will make every reasonable effort to promote successful germination; however, results are affected by factors beyond our control, including weather, soil conditions, irrigation, birds and foot traffic.

All seedings are based on a single application rate.

If additional re-seeding is needed, the customer will be notified of the cost prior to any additional applications.

Insurance and Licenses

World Class Lawns will maintain at all times adequate public liability insurance.
The company and its technicians are properly licensed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) as required by law.

Collection

In the event that legal action is necessary to collect a past-due account, the Customer agrees to be responsible for all collection costs incurred by World Class Lawns, including attorney fees and court costs.

This contract shall be binding upon the successors of World Class Lawns and the heirs, administrators, and executors of the Customer.

Severability & Cancellation

The Customer or World Class Lawns may cancel this contract at any time by providing written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the intended cancellation date. All outstanding balances must be paid in full prior to cancellation.
