FAQs
How can I pay you? We prefer payment by check but also accept cash, cards, and invoices. Card and invoice payments include a 4% fee, which we disclose upfront in our Service Agreement.
Do you use your own equipment? Yes! At Hobby Gardening LLC, we bring our own tools and materials, including wheelbarrow, string trimmer, chainsaw, yard waste bags, and more.
Do you have your own transport? Yes. We own our own pick up truck. In somme cases, we rent bigger vehicles to accelerate special projects but in most cases this is not necessary.
Is Hobby Gardening a legal business? Absolutely! We are registered with Michigan’s LARA (Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs) and have a FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number). Our work is also covered by Business Liability Insurance. As a gardening business, no additional permits or licenses are needed.
Do you charge any hidden fees? No! We will indicate a price in the Service Agreement and the prie will include labor, use of single use materials and taxes. The only additional fee that we might charge is a 4% fee if you decide to pay through an invoice or with card. If the service is paid with check (our prefference) or cas, no additional fees will be applied to the original price.
Will we sign a contract? Yes, this is a must. To ensure transparency, we provide a Service Agreement outlining the service, price, and terms before starting any project. This sets clear expectations and simplifies the process if our liability insurance ever needs to be used—though that’s rare!
Do you use chemicals? No, never. We intentionally remain unlicensed for synthetic weed killers, fertilizers, or pesticides because we believe their risks outweigh the benefits. Instead, we recommend natural alternatives whenever possible.
Do you you welcome all clients? Absolutely! Bien-sûr ! Por supuesto! We proudly support and work with our community regardless of race, sexual orientation and identity, nationality, age, religious beliefs and physical situation. No matter who you are, you are welcome and safe with us.
How Many Workers Are in the Crew? Hobby Gardening is a one-person business, so you'll see just one person working on your yard. Occasionally, third-party companies may deliver mulch, compost, or plants, but they are not part of Hobby Gardening LLC.
Can you provide references? Absolutely! You can find references on our Google Business Profile, linked on our homepage.
Will you show up? Yes, of course! If an unexpected situation arises, we’ll contact you to reschedule. We never leave clients waiting or disappear after confirming a visit.
