- 1). Decide what type of contract you want to make. The most important part of the contract is how you will be paid for your service, such as weekly, monthly or each time you mow the yard.
- 2). Decide whether the payment you want to receive will be by cash or check.
- 3). Write down in the contract the types of services you will provide in addition to the actual mowing, such as bagging, trimming the yard and sweeping up afterward. Everything that you're going to do or not do to a lawn should be included in the contract.
- 4). Decide how long you're going to mow the lawn through the season. For example, you could set just a monthlong contract or could plan to mow the yard for the entire season.
