    If we arrive to setup a lawn display and find that another company has ALREADY setup a display in the yard, we will use our judgement to see if a second display is appropriate. We will NOT move another company’s property to make room for ours. If the yard is too small and/or we feel we do not have room to create an attractive display, we will NOT setup. We will send a message (text or email) to let you know that we encountered another display and how we chose to handle the situation. We will then contact you in the morning for rescheduling or refunding if appropriate.

You will receive a full refund if the following applies: You cancel your lawn rental at least 24 hours in advance or Extreme weather conditions prevent us from setting up your display. You will receive a partial refund if we are unable to deliver a lawn display because: Another lawn display has already been placed in the yard and we felt it was not appropriate to place a second one.

    You will NOT receive a refund if the following applies:
    • The homeowner stops us from setting up the display.
    • The homeowner calls us and asks us to remove the display.
    • You give us less than 24 hours notice to cancel your order.
    • You have given us the wrong address or date.
