How do landscaping companies work? I had one last year. This year i can't afford it so I'm going to do it myself. i get home last nigt and they fertilized my lawn. Now they did not contact me about this season, I called and said I'm not paying. I did not request the service there excuse is I never cancelled. True, but its only March 27 and it just snowed so I wasn't thinking about lawn care. Am i right or wrong?
