Describe the lawn, not just the address
A good lawn-mowing request tells the worker what they will find when they arrive. Mention whether the lawn is in front, behind the house or in separate sections, and describe any slopes, narrow gates or obstacles. Driveway size is DoMyChore's pricing unit, but a driveway measurement is not an exact measurement of your grass. Use the notes to explain anything that makes your property different.
Let the worker know if the grass is especially long, wet or difficult to access. If edging, bagging or removal of clippings matters to you, confirm those details before work begins. Do not assume a particular mower, tool or disposal arrangement is included just because you have selected lawn mowing. Independent workers choose their jobs and should confirm that they have the equipment and ability required.
Prepare for a straightforward visit
Before the agreed visit, move toys, garden hoses and loose items out of the mowing area. Keep pets away from the work and explain any plants or borders that should be left alone. Share gate access information only where it is necessary for the assigned worker. The private job chat is the place to agree on access and arrival once your request is accepted.
You can add your preferred day when you post. Timing is not guaranteed: nearby availability and ground conditions may mean a different day works better. Discuss changes in advance, particularly if rain has left the lawn unsuitable for the equipment the worker intends to use. A clear conversation is more useful than an assumed arrival window.
See the estimate before committing
Choose lawn mowing in the request form, locate your address and check the driveway car-space estimate. You can enter the measurement yourself or use the satellite-assisted option when an image is available. The app shows a low-to-high price range before posting. The job charge is its upper end, with applicable tax shown at checkout rather than hidden in the example.
Posting costs nothing. After an independent worker accepts, pay through DoMyChore before the visit begins; cash arrangements are not part of the service. Each request is one visit, not recurring maintenance. After the worker marks the paid job complete, the customer can leave one review. Use those completed-job reviews when deciding whom to work with, and discuss any concerns in the job chat.
