  Not everything can be specified in a contract, especially if those contracted are mobile and not permanently on-site. A simple example from my short time working as ground staff at Crabble Atheletic Ground many, many years ago: We used to mow the rugby grounds/cricket outfield twice a week during the grass growing season - on Monday and Thursday I think - but if there had been no rain for a while then mowing would have been counter-productive. The head groundsman, Johnny Danbrook and later Frank Philpott, would make the decision after an inspection. The same went for the football ground. These guys took a real pride in what they were doing and were professional greenkeepers and groundsmen. It may have seemed as though they only needed to know how to push a mower or wield a scythe but having worked with these guys I know it was a lot different in reality.
