Give Dad the Gift of Lawn Care – It’s Super Easy

Make the weekends a bit easier for your dad (or father-in-law, in my case). Give the gift of a great-looking lawn for Father’s Day and beyond with LawnStarter. 

I’ve done this, and I’ll show you how easy it is, so you can give dad a break from sweating in the yard pushing a lawn mower and wielding a string trimmer. 

It’s simple to add lawn mowing for another property in the LawnStarter app. 

My advice? Skip the mug and give dad something really useful – less time spent in the yard and maybe more time with you, mom, or the grandkids. 

How I Gave My Father-in-Law a Great-Looking Lawn

When my father-in-law kept commenting on how great my lawn looked, I told him about my local LawnStarter pro who kept my grass trim, neat, and green. I showed him the app and how I could see my lawn care schedule, talk with my pro, and even pay and tip in the app. 

My father-in-law is getting older so we talked about how it might be nice NOT to push around the mower for his larger yard. 

As a surprise, I added his address to my account using the multiple address feature in the LawnStarter app. He was matched with a pro on his side of town in a few minutes. His first mow was scheduled just a few days before Father’s Day. 

I didn’t even tell him. I knew I could talk with his pro if something came up. 

Small Reactions, Big Changes

The day of the mow came and went – but I wasn’t sure how my father-in-law would react. When he finally called, he surprised me. He loved the yard and said he had sat on the porch enjoying it for a few days before he decided to call me. 

I had given the man who has everything the perfect gift for Father’s Day and something he really wanted. Now, LawnStarter takes care of both our yards and my father-in-law is golfing with his buddies on the weekends. 

How it works for me: 

• I schedule mows, trims and cleanups from my phone.
• I manage multiple properties, mine and my father-in-law’s, from one app.
• I get updates when the work is done.
• My father-in-law has his weekends free for the first time in decades. 

How it works for him: 

• No more mowing in the heat.
• No gas, mower blades, or replacement parts.
• He gets to enjoy his yard instead of working on it.

How You Can Give the Gift of Lawn Care

LawnStarter has lawn care pros in nearly every city across the U.S.. The app is easy to download and a lawn pro is ready to schedule your first mow in just a few minutes. 

• Easy scheduling: Set up regular or one-time lawn care in just a few steps.
• Multiple properties: Manage your yard, your dad’s or father-in-law’s, or even a business from the app.
• No equipment: No mower or mower maintenance, no lawn chemicals.
• Consistent quality: A pro shows up, does the job right, and sends updates.
• Peace of mind: Your lawn is trimmed and cared for, even if you are miles away.

LawnStarter is a great Father’s Day or anytime gift, but the real magic is when you can schedule lawn care and maintenance on your schedule with a local pro you can trust. Find a LawnStarter local pro in your area. 

As an added incentive, as a new property in the app, you’ll get the $19 first mow discount for your dad or father-in-law’s lawn care.
