At our core, we act as matchmakers, connecting individuals who need assistance with yard work to generous landscaping volunteers. These connections are facilitated in a safe, secure, and supportive environment, ensuring everyone involved feels comfortable and cared for. Our goal is to provide temporary relief through one-time connections, offering a buffer during times of need.
In exceptional cases, volunteers may return for repeat visits, depending on their availability and schedules. We kindly ask that you respect their time, as they generously give what they can to help others. While we strive to assist everyone who reaches out, we do what we can within our capacity. It’s important to understand that our volunteer-based model may affect the frequency and availability of services. For more detailed information on what to expect, please visit the Expectations of Service page. We appreciate your understanding as the demand for our services continues to rise due to an aging population and increasing costs. Our organization thrives on the generosity of volunteers, and patience is deeply valued as we work to assist as many people as possible.
We are continuously making improvements—from enhancing login experiences to sending real-time alerts based on volunteer proximity. Additionally, partnerships allow us to offer battery-powered equipment upgrades for active volunteers and provide volunteer accident insurance coverage.
I Want To Mow Your Lawn Inc. is a non-profit dedicated to providing free lawn care services through a nationwide network of generous landscaping volunteers. We process inquiries from beneficiaries, their families, caretakers, or case managers, and work our magic to find help nearby.
As we facilitate connections, it’s important to understand that most volunteers bring their own landscaping equipment, though they are not professional landscapers. Some may not have equipment but can offer transportation and physical help. This works out because some homeowners might have equipment that others can use, or a neighbor might be able to loan what’s needed until potential upgrades can be arranged. While we occasionally collaborate with professional landscaping contractors, please keep in mind that they have their own businesses to run. They might assist on occasion, but there are no binding contracts.
Our approach is straightforward: connect those in need with volunteers who want to make a difference. We handle all marketing and outreach so that volunteers can focus on helping their neighbors, offering immediate and impactful assistance.
Our mission goes beyond lawn care. We aim to reduce fines, relieve stress, and improve yard appearances for those who cannot afford professional services. The best way to get matched with a volunteer is by submitting a request through our website using our intake form. Alternatively, leaving a voicemail with as much information as possible allows our proprietary system to connect you with a nearby helper in real-time. While human interaction remains essential, we are continuously enhancing efficiency and automation to make the process as smooth as possible.
We strongly believe in the power of community, especially as we continue to recover from global challenges. Our work is supported by charitable donors, 1,372 dedicated volunteers, and strong partnerships. Together, we aim to strengthen communities while promoting environmentally friendly practices, such as using battery-powered equipment.
