Effective date: October 4, 2026
1. Agreement and Services
1.1 Who we are. BARE Lawn Care and Blue Mountain LandWorks are trade names of Benchmark Holdings of PA Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Company,” “we,” “us”). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to all services we provide and to your use of barelawncare.com, bmlandworks.com and any related pages, forms or tools (the “Sites”).
1.2 Acceptance. You accept these Terms when you sign or electronically accept an estimate, service agreement or landscape agreement; pay a deposit or invoice; allow us to begin work; or use the Sites. If a signed agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement controls.
1.3 Services. We offer lawn care plans, property maintenance, fertilization, weed control, tick, insect and pest treatments, lawn restoration, grading and drainage, landscaping, hardscaping, retaining walls, patios, walkways, fencing, commercial and HOA services, and bulk material delivery and site work. We may add, change or stop offering any service.
1.4 Estimates. Quick Quotes, starting prices, tier prices and online estimator results are estimates only, not binding offers. Final pricing is set in a written estimate after we review your property. Written estimates are valid for the period stated on the estimate. Pricing assumes normal site conditions; hidden conditions such as buried debris, rock, poor soil, drainage problems or utility conflicts may require a change order.
1.5 Right to decline. We may decline any job or customer, including properties outside our service area of Dauphin and Cumberland Counties, Pennsylvania, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
2. Lawn Care Plans and Payment
2.1 Annual term. Lawn care packages (The Fresh Cut, Spruce It Up, Give Me the Works, Complete Care and Nova’s Choice) are 12-month commitments. We do not offer month-to-month lawn care agreements. The annual price is divided into equal monthly payments, even though service visits vary by season.
2.2 Automatic renewal. Your plan renews automatically for another 12-month term unless you cancel in writing before the renewal date. We will send a renewal notice about 45 days before renewal, including any price change for the next term.
2.3 Cancellation. You may cancel future renewals at any time before the renewal date. If you cancel during a term, you owe the value of services already performed, less payments made. Because monthly payments spread the season’s cost evenly, the value of work performed may exceed payments made at the time of cancellation.
2.4 Payment. Monthly payments are charged automatically to the card or bank account on file. You authorize these recurring charges until your plan ends. Invoices for other work are due by the due date shown on the invoice.
2.5 Prepay discount. Customers who pay the full annual amount before the first service of a term, or before renewal, receive a 5% discount on that term.
2.6 Organic discount. Nova’s Choice customers receive 10% off lawn care treatments. The discount does not apply to mowing or other non-treatment services. Organic treatments are available only as part of a lawn care package, not as one-time services.
2.7 Late payments. Past-due balances may incur late fees as stated in your agreement or on your invoice, as permitted by law. We may pause service on past-due accounts until they are brought current. You are responsible for reasonable collection costs, including attorney fees, where permitted by law. Returned payments may incur a returned-payment fee.
2.8 Price changes. Prices are fixed for each term. We may change prices at renewal with notice as described in section 2.2.
3. Scheduling and Your Property
3.1 Scheduling. Service days and times are estimates. Weather, ground conditions, equipment issues and seasonal demand may shift visits. Mowing frequency may be adjusted during drought, heavy rain or slow growth. Visits missed because of weather are rescheduled when conditions allow and are not refunded, because monthly payments reflect the full season.
3.2 Access. You grant us access to the service areas of your property on scheduled days. Please unlock gates, secure pets indoors and move vehicles, toys, hoses, furniture and debris from work areas. If we cannot perform a scheduled visit because of locked gates, loose pets or other obstacles, the visit may be counted as completed or billed as a trip charge.
3.3 Property information. You confirm you own the property or are authorized by the owner to hire us. Tell us before work begins about sprinkler heads and lines, invisible pet fences, low-voltage lighting, septic systems, private utility lines, property lines and anything else hidden or fragile. We are not responsible for damage to unmarked or undisclosed items.
3.4 Utility marking. For digging, grading, walls, fences and similar projects, we will request utility marking through Pennsylvania One Call as required by law. Public utilities do not mark private lines, such as lines to sheds, pools, lamp posts or irrigation. You are responsible for marking or disclosing private lines.
3.5 HOA and permits. You are responsible for any HOA approvals and for confirming property lines. Responsibility for building permits, and any permit fees, will be stated in your written agreement.
3.6 Watering and care after service. Seeding, sod and new plantings need watering and care from you after installation. We will provide care instructions. Results depend on watering, weather, soil and use.
4. Fertilization, Weed Control and Pest Treatments
4.1 Licensed application. Fertilizer and pesticide applications are made by, or under the supervision of, applicators certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, following product labels and state law.
4.2 Organic and conventional programs. You may choose a fully organic program or a conventional, commercial-grade program. “Organic” means we use products made from natural sources in place of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Organic programs may work more slowly and may not control every weed, insect or disease as quickly as conventional products.
4.3 Notice and re-entry. We will leave a lawn marker or notice after each pesticide application as required by Pennsylvania law. Keep children and pets off treated areas until the product has dried, or longer if the label directs. Tell us in advance if anyone in your household has a chemical sensitivity. You may request to be placed on a pre-notification list for applications near your property.
4.4 Results. Lawn and pest results depend on weather, soil, watering, mowing height, turf type, existing conditions and pest pressure. We do not guarantee elimination of all weeds, insects, ticks, grubs or disease. Tick and insect treatments reduce populations; they do not eliminate the risk of bites or disease.
4.5 Weather and rescheduling. We may postpone applications because of rain, wind, heat or drought to protect your lawn and follow label directions.
4.6 Nearby plants and surfaces. We take care to keep products on target. We are not responsible for damage to plants, gardens or surfaces you did not disclose as sensitive, or for results affected by watering, mowing or other treatments you apply against our instructions.
5. Outdoor Projects and Material Delivery
5.1 Landscape agreements. Patios, walkways, retaining walls, fencing, landscaping, grading, drainage and similar projects are performed under a signed landscape agreement that states the scope, price, estimated schedule and payment schedule. Starting prices and tier prices on the Sites are for planning only.
5.2 Home improvement contracts. We are a registered Pennsylvania home improvement contractor, and our registration number appears on every home improvement contract. Residential home improvement contracts include the disclosures and cancellation rights required by the Pennsylvania Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act, including your right to cancel within three business days of signing.
5.3 Deposits. Projects require a deposit at signing as stated in your agreement, not to exceed the limit allowed under Pennsylvania law, plus the cost of any special-order materials. Remaining payments are due as stated in your agreement, with the final payment due at the final walkthrough.
5.4 Change orders. Changes to scope, materials or design, and extra work caused by hidden site conditions, require a written or electronically approved change order and may change the price and schedule.
5.5 Materials and appearance. Natural stone, pavers, wood, mulch, soil and plants vary in color, texture and size. Samples and photos show typical appearance only. Minor variation is not a defect.
5.6 Site impact. Equipment and material deliveries may leave marks, ruts or compaction on lawns and driveways along access routes. We will restore reasonable disturbance in the work area as stated in your agreement. Unless your agreement says otherwise, we are not responsible for cracking of driveways or sidewalks from equipment of normal weight.
5.7 Material delivery (Blue Mountain LandWorks). Online orders require a deposit of 25% of the order total, or 100 dollars, whichever is greater, with the balance due at delivery. Delivery fees are based on distance from our yard. You are responsible for choosing a delivery spot the truck can reach safely and for having it clear. Our driver may decline to deliver to a spot that is unsafe or may damage the truck or your property. Delivery-only orders are dumped at the chosen spot; spreading is provided only when purchased. Quantities are measured by the cubic yard or ton at loading. Delivered bulk materials cannot be returned. Late cancellations may forfeit the deposit as stated in your order confirmation.
5.8 Hauling and equipment work. Contract hauling and skid steer work are billed at the hourly, mileage or project rates in your quote, including travel and equipment loading time where stated.
6. Our Guarantee and Limits of Liability
6.1 Satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with a visit, tell us promptly and we will return to correct the issue at no charge. Re-service is your sole remedy for routine maintenance and treatment visits.
6.2 Workmanship warranty. Hardscape, wall and fence installations carry a workmanship warranty for the period stated in your agreement, covering defects in our installation. Manufacturer warranties apply to materials. The warranty does not cover damage from misuse, settling of soil we did not prepare, vehicles or heavy equipment, freeze-thaw cycles in poorly drained areas you declined to correct, alterations by others, or acts of nature. Plants, seed and sod are not warrantied unless your agreement says so, because survival depends on watering and care after installation.
6.3 Damage claims. We are fully insured. If you believe we damaged your property, notify us promptly with photos. We will inspect and repair or reimburse verified damage we caused. We are not responsible for pre-existing conditions or undisclosed hidden items.
6.4 Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to our services or the Sites is limited to the amount you paid us for the specific service giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including lost use, lost value or lost profits.
6.5 Events beyond our control. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by weather, natural disasters, supply shortages, utility failures, government actions or other causes beyond our reasonable control.

7.2 Quotes, estimators and online orders. Prices, packages, starting prices and estimator or calculator results on the Sites are estimates for planning and may change without notice.

With your separate consent, we may also send promotional messages. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of texts or use the unsubscribe link in any email. Consent to marketing messages is not a condition of purchase.
7.6 Reviews and photos. Reviews shown on the Sites are from real customers. You grant us permission to photograph completed work at your property for our portfolio and marketing, without identifying your address, unless you opt out in writing.
7.7 Learning Center content. Articles and tips on the Sites are general information, not a substitute for an on-site assessment. Always follow product labels.

8. General Terms and Contact
8.1 Governing law and disputes. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Please contact us first so we can try to resolve any concern informally. Any legal action will be brought in the state courts of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, or before a magisterial district judge where the amount allows.
8.2 Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms by posting a new version on the Sites with a new effective date. Changes do not alter a signed agreement during its current term, but apply at renewal.
8.3 Assignment. We may assign service agreements to an affiliate or a successor business, with notice to you. You may not assign your agreement without our written consent, except to a new owner of the property with our approval.
8.4 Entire agreement and severability. These Terms, together with your signed estimate or agreement, are the entire agreement between us for the services described. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
