Salinas Lawn & Power uses safety deflectors on our mowers to minimize the possibility of any debris from damaging you or your property. Salinas Lawn & Power also does their best to check for debris and other objects that may cause or be damaged before each service. However, Salinas Lawn & Power is not responsible financially or otherwise for any repairs or damage (personnel or property) for items (man-made or natural) that we were not aware of, including items that were not removed beforehand by the customer.

The customer agrees it is their responsibility to ensure that the service area is cleared of debris or other objects prior to Salinas Lawn & Power rendering services. These items may include, but not be limited to; any object(s) partially or completely exposed such as; hoses, toys, ornaments, decorations, irrigation systems, invisible dog fences, pipes, metal, rocks and/or sticks. This also includes but is not limited to unmarked or shallow wires, pipes, or cables such as internet providers, utility companies, telephone, irrigation systems, landscaping lighting systems, regardless if provided by a secondary source or not.

Turf that is planted or grown too close / touching any object such as a mailbox, fence post, siding or any other structure, may be accidentally damaged when trimming or cutting. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure all turf is at least 6” back from the area that it’s touching, or adding a layer of protection to the surface area of the object. In Salinas Lawn & Power sole determination we may avoid trimming those areas described to avoid possible damage. If so, the customer agrees that Salinas Lawn & Power may leave those areas uncut and must claim that the services have been completed.

As a courtesy reminder, Salinas Lawn & Power sends every customer a Pre-Service Dispatch Notification providing our customers advanced notice of your service date. It is encouraged that customers take advantage of our reminder to check their property for the items mentioned above and that pets and children are a safe distance from the heavy equipment. The financial cost and repair(s) for damages as described above are the sole responsibility of the customers and by accepting our services the customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Salinas Lawn & Power for personal injury, death, loss or damage of property.
