Unfortunately, we can’t control when we get sick and are unable to perform the duties laid out in the lawn care contract.
We recommend that you let the client know as soon as you’re unwell and when you’ll likely be back to work.
Even better, you can build up a network of trusty landscapers in your community with the understanding that you can step in for each other to do client work in case of an emergency.
Lastly, have a conversation with prospective clients before you enter a contract about what happens if you are unwell. It’s best to be proactive when setting expectations to keep your clients happy.
