We send you jobs. You show up. We pay on Friday. Period.
More clients + Less driving = More $$$
BlockMow is a hyperlocal lawn care network built for crews who want more work in the areas they're already working — without the hassle of chasing clients, bidding on jobs, doing estimates, or waiting on payment.
Here's the difference between us and other platforms. We don't ask you to browse a job board and pick what you want. We look at where you work, secure clients, and send them to you.
You don't search for the work. The work comes to you.
Why crews work with us
No bidding, no leads, no marketing. We handle all of it. When we have a job in your zone we text you the address, the lawn size, and what it pays. You confirm, you go, you send a photo when done. That's the whole process.
Payment lands in your account every Friday via Venmo or Zelle. No chasing. No invoicing. No awkward conversations about money. Just a number that shows up reliably at the end of every week.
Your first three clients come to you at full rate — no platform fee, no catch. We want you to experience BlockMow before we talk about anything else. After that, we agree on a base rate per job that you'll see every time before you accept.
Make more $$$ per hour
Most crews drive 30-40% of their day between scattered jobs. BlockMow fills your schedule in the areas you're already working. Less driving means more jobs per day, which means more money per hour — even if the per-job rate is slightly lower than what you'd charge a private client.
A crew doing 8 clustered BlockMow jobs between 8am and 1pm earns more per hour than the same crew doing 5 scattered private jobs across the same window. That math is why our crews stay.

Frequently Asked Questions
With BlockMow, there’s no real risk, and a lot of upside. You just need to have the capacity for more work.
-
Basic “mow, blow, edge, go”, keeping things easy and efficient so you can get in, get out, and hit more money-making work in areas where you already work.
-
For small things that come up while you’re mowing (like picking up branches, trimming a hedge, etc.) just tell the customer your upcharge. If they confirm, tell us and we will take care of collecting the adjusted payment.
For bigger things that come up on the job (for example, a customer wants pavers, mulching, or something similar), that’s your deal to make. Tell them “BlockMow only handles lawn care, but I’m happy to work something out with you independently”
-
We charge homeowners standard rates. $40+ for a small yard, $50+ for a medium yard, and $60+ for a large yard. We also take into account obstacles or yards that need more edging and attention.
Rest assured, we charge according to the work involved. Your first 3 clients are totally yours forever, paid in-full. From there, we take 25% of the rate for every new client.
Not bad for a full-service, client-generating machine that sends you jobs while you sleep.
