Mow Notice
Noticed a neighbor whose yard seems to be getting away from them — but you’re not sure how to bring it up, or whether they’d even accept help?
That’s what Mow Notice is for. Share what you’ve seen. We’ll reach out to the homeowner respectfully. If they’d like help, we start looking for a volunteer in their area.
If the homeowner has already agreed to accept help, please use our Client Signup form instead. It’s the faster path into our pipeline.
Three Steps. No Surprises for the Homeowner.
You Share What You Noticed
Tell us who you’re thinking of and what you’ve seen. You don’t need their permission to submit.
We Reach Out Gently
A volunteer from our team contacts the homeowner respectfully. Nobody shows up unannounced. If they’d like help, we begin looking for a volunteer.
Help Depends on Availability
We’re a volunteer-based nonprofit. We can’t promise service or timing, but every notice we receive is reviewed by a real person.
A Few Things Worth Knowing Up Front
- We will never tell the homeowner you submitted this unless you ask us to.
- We don’t send service without the homeowner’s consent.
- We don’t charge anyone. We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
- If you believe a property is a code violation or safety emergency, your town’s code enforcement office is the right contact. This form is for connecting neighbors with kindness — it isn’t a complaint channel.
Which form is right?
Has the homeowner already said yes?
Use our Client Signup form. It takes about 5 minutes, collects the full intake, and goes straight into our volunteer matching pipeline.
Case managers, family members, and caretakers can complete Client Signup on behalf of the person who needs help — just pick your relationship on the form. You don’t need to be the one receiving service to fill it out.
Hasn’t been asked yet?
You’re in the right place. Continue below.
Mow Notice is for the awkward in-between — the neighbor you’re worried about, the caregiver at a distance, the case manager whose new client hasn’t agreed to anything yet, the code enforcement officer who’d rather help than fine.
We reach out to the homeowner first, wait for their response, and only then begin looking for a volunteer. It’s slower than Client Signup by design.
If the homeowner is ready to be helped, use Client Signup — it’s faster. Mow Notice is for when they haven’t been asked yet.
Using Mow Notice as a shortcut when the homeowner has already agreed slows down a real request for help. Please choose the right form for the situation.

We couldn’t send that just yet.
Thank you for noticing.
Someone from our team will review this within a few days. We’ll reach out to the homeowner with care. If we need to follow up with you, we’ll use the contact info you shared.
