How Mowie works
We're not a mowing company. We're the fastest way to get a few good local mowers competing for your lawn - and a set of rules that keeps everyone honest.
List your lawn in a couple of minutes
Type your address and we pull up the aerial view. Trace your lawn (or skip it and let mowers eyeball the satellite). Pick a standard visit or mow-only, how long the grass is, and whether you want one-off, weekly or fortnightly. Add a note about the gate or the dog. Done - no account setup, no card.
Get an instant price guide
Straight away you'll see what lawns like yours are getting bids for in your suburb - built from real winning bids, not made-up numbers. Now you know what fair looks like.
Mowers bid, you compare
Every verified mower servicing your suburb gets your job profile: measured lawn area, edges, grass height, access notes. They bid from their phone. You see price, rating, jobs done, photos of recent work and their earliest day. Bids usually start within the hour.
Hire in one tap, add your card
Pick the bid you like. Only now do you add a card (Apple Pay and Google Pay too). Nothing is charged yet - the card is held for after the job.
Job day
Your mower can tap 'on the way'. You can chat in the app the whole time - confirm the gate code, ask for the clippings to be taken. Rain? They reschedule and you're told instantly.
Photo, approve, pay
When they're done you get a photo of the finished lawn. Tap approve and your card is charged; the mower is paid within two days. If you go quiet, it auto-approves after 48 hours so mowers aren't left waiting. Not happy? Raise an issue instead - you're not charged until it's sorted.
Make it regular
One tap turns a good one-off into weekly or fortnightly with the same mower at the same price. Skip a visit, pause for holidays, or cancel any time.
The standard visit, defined
So every bid is comparing the same job:
- ✓ Mow all lawn areas you've marked (front, back or both)
- ✓ Trim edges along paths, driveway, fences and beds
- ✓ Blow clippings off hard surfaces
- ✓ Nature strip if it's part of your traced lawn
- – Clippings left in your green bin unless you ask for removal
- – Weeding, hedges, pruning and green-waste removal are extras agreed in chat
