Seen a yard concern that looks current and hard to ignore?
Mow Notice is for current, visible yard situations someone has personally noticed — not general resource requests, future planning, complaints, priority requests, or a shortcut around Client Signup.
Start with what you saw
A recent photo helps us understand the current condition and severity before deciding whether respectful outreach makes sense. Photos are optional, but strongly recommended.
Please only upload photos taken legally from public view or with permission. Do not trespass, or photograph people, faces, license plates, or private documents.

Submitting for someone you know?
If you are family, a caregiver, friend, or already have enough details to request help on someone’s behalf, please use Client Signup instead. It collects the full household context our volunteers need.
Three Steps. No Surprises for the Homeowner.
You Share What You Noticed
Share what you personally noticed. We will not contact anyone for service without the homeowner’s permission.
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.
- For complaints about 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?
Submitting for someone you know?
Use Client Signup. It collects the full household context our volunteers need — relationship, veteran status, caregiving situation, and other details that matter for matching.
Did you observe a yard concern?
You’re in the right place. Continue below.
Mow Notice is for current, visible yard concerns you personally noticed in your community — the neighbor whose grass is clearly out of hand, a property that looks like someone may be struggling to keep up.
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.
Before we begin, we’ll ask which best describes you. This helps us route you to the right path — Mow Notice isn’t always the right tool depending on who you are.
Share What You’ve Noticed
We couldn’t send that just yet.
Thank you for noticing.
Your Mow Notice was received. A real person from our team will review it carefully. Because this is a manual, consent-first process, outreach may take time — especially if we need to figure out the best way to contact the homeowner.
Please avoid resubmitting the same notice or sending extra details by email unless we reach out for clarification. Keeping everything in the form helps us review notices more carefully.
If we need clarification, we’ll use the contact information you shared.
