Door hangers open doors
A friendly “Need a hand with the yard?” door hanger is often how a noticed homeowner first hears from us — no pressure, just an invitation to reply. Each hanger carries a QR code that points right back to Mow Notice. Volunteers are never sent out before our review and the homeowner’s own permission.
Submitters choose how they're mentioned — many stay private, some let us say a neighbor reached out, and some prefer to speak with the homeowner themselves first. We honor that choice during outreach.
