916. Stop Signing These Garbage Lawn & Snow Contracts (They're Traps)

If you've ever signed a contract and immediately felt that "uh-oh" feeling… this episode is for you. We're talking about garbage contracts, hidden clauses, and the fine print that can quietly destroy your profit, your schedule, and your sanity. Just because a client is big doesn't mean the deal is good, and in lawn care, landscaping, and snow removal, the wrong agreement can turn into unpaid work, chargebacks, endless scope creep, and zero leverage when things go sideways.
