Let's try again.

Neighbor has winter rye dumped on her lawn without her approval.
Neighbor doesn't want winter rye on her lawn.
Neighbor is now stuck paying a lawn company to cut the grass 52 weeks
every year, rather than 40 weeks out of every year.
Neighbor will now have to pay at least $240 more than she was
expecting to for lawn care this year.

So hire a new company....and clearly indicate your to cheap to have a
green lawn year round



I cut my own lawn. This is about my elderly neighbor who did NOT sign
a contract agreeing to lawn mowing year-round. But thanks to their
scam, now she has to have it done - which costs her 25% more than she
budgeted for annual lawn care. Can you grasp that?


So, be a good neighbor, mow her lawn for her this winter, for nothing.

If you really want to help your elderly neighbor, advise her to get a
written contract from now on, and read and understand it fully before
signing it. Or, better yet, have her get someone she trusts, who is
knowledgeable about such matters, read it and advise her before she signs
it.
