How It Works

Help Is a Few Steps Away

Whether you need yard work or want to help a neighbor, the process is simple and free.

1

Submit a Request

Search by zip code or fill out our intake form. Requests can come from you, a family member, caretaker, or case manager.

If the homeowner hasn’t agreed yet, use Mow Notice instead.

2

We Match You Locally

Our system connects your request with nearby volunteers based on location and availability.

3

A Volunteer Shows Up

Communication happens through privacy-protected channels. The volunteer arrives with equipment and gets to work.

4

Impact Gets Tracked

Volunteers log hours and upload before & after photos. Every visit builds the mission.

Who We Help

Everyone Deserves to Stay Proud of Their Home

👴🏽

Older Adults

Neighbors who maintained their homes for decades now facing physical limitations. A visit provides real relief — and a reminder they're not alone.

🎖️

Veterans

Those who served deserve a well-kept space. Many live alone, face mobility challenges, or lack resources to hire help.

🏡

Neighbors in Need

Disability, recovery from illness, financial hardship — life can make the outdoors inaccessible. We connect volunteers with anyone who needs a hand.

💬 A Word About What to Expect

We are not a paid landscaping service. We're a volunteer-powered nonprofit, and that means we can't promise coverage in every zip code or guarantee response times. Availability depends on location, timing, and volunteer capacity.

Most connections are one-time visits offering temporary relief. Donations are welcomed but never required, and they do not guarantee or prioritize service.
