Mowin'
Your questions, answered
Is Mowin' a lawn care or landscaping company?
No. Mowin' is a directory connecting homeowners with independent, local lawn mowing, landscaping and home & garden professionals — we don't mow, plant or install anything ourselves.
How much does lawn mowing or landscaping cost?
Cost depends heavily on yard size, frequency, your area and the specific job — we never quote prices on this site. Ask the pro you're connected with for a free estimate.
Do lawn care and pest control companies need a license?
Often, yes — many states require a pesticide-applicator or structural-pest license for lawn chemical applications, mosquito treatment and termite work. Ask any company for proof of licensing and insurance before hiring.
How do pros receive requests on Mowin'?
Pros can list for free, or sponsor one or more categories in their ZIP code — or several ZIP codes with every category — so homeowners in that area who request help are connected to them first.
Is it safe to remove a tree myself?
Tree work near power lines, roofs or large trees carries real injury and property risk — for anything beyond small branches, hire an insured tree service rather than doing it yourself.
What should I ask before hiring a home & garden pro?
Ask about insurance, any required state licensing for the specific service (pesticide, pest control), how long they've served your area, and get a written estimate before work begins.
Can I get snow removal and mowing from the same company?
Many home & garden pros offer both seasonal services — check a pro's listed categories to see what they cover year-round.
