Turn Violations Into
Volunteer Solutions
When a resident can’t maintain their property, the answer isn’t always a fine. I Want To Mow Your Lawn connects your community with free volunteer lawn care for elderly individuals, veterans, and neighbors in need.
We partner with cities, code enforcement offices, and community organizations across the country to turn code compliance issues into acts of service.

Code Violations Shouldn’t Punish People Who Need Help
Many residents receiving property maintenance violations are elderly, disabled, veterans, or families experiencing hardship. They aren’t neglecting their homes — they physically or financially cannot keep up.
Without a Referral Partner
With IWTMYL as a Partner
Your Most Vulnerable Residents Are Our Priority
Older Adults
Neighbors who built and maintained their homes for decades, now facing physical limitations that make outdoor upkeep a daily struggle.
Veterans
Those who served our country deserve to come home to a well-kept space. Many live alone, face mobility challenges, or lack the resources to hire help.
Neighbors in Need
Disability, recovery from illness, financial hardship — life can make the outdoors inaccessible. A clean yard is a small gesture with a lasting impact.
Three Simple Steps to Connect a Resident With Help
Identify a Resident in Need
During routine inspections, community events, or through resident outreach, your office identifies someone who cannot maintain their property due to age, disability, veteran status, or hardship.
Share the Request Line
Give the resident our phone number — 862-66-MOWER — or direct them to iwanttomowyourlawn.com to submit a service request. Having the homeowner reach out directly is the fastest way to get them help. You can also include our flyer with official notices.
Volunteer Is Matched
We match the resident with a registered, background-checked volunteer in their area. The volunteer provides free lawn care — mowing, trimming, and basic cleanup. No cost to the resident or your office.
The Numbers Behind the Mission
Every number represents a real neighbor, a real volunteer, and a real community made better.
