LawnSwap — Find Verified Landscapers Through Competitive Bidding

Homeowner

Homeowner lists their property

Select services you need. Grass cutting, trimming, landscape design, whatever. Add photos, set how often you want service, and choose a bid window (1 to 10 days). Your address stays hidden inside a one-mile circle to protect your privacy.

Landscaper

Verified landscapers place sealed bids

Local landscaping companies, all bound by our licensing and insurance requirements, see your listing and submit a sealed per-visit bid before your deadline. They cannot see each other’s bids, so each one competes on their real price and reputation. You see ratings and reviews, not names.

Homeowner

Compare bids and choose

When the bid window closes, review every bid side by side. See star ratings and approximate review counts. Pick the best fit for your property, not just the cheapest. Pay a small reveal fee to unlock the winner’s identity.

Both Parties

Connect and get to work

Once revealed, both parties get full contact info. The landscaper gets your address, you get their phone and email. Schedule the first service, and pay them directly. Just like you normally would.

Both Parties

Confirm service and review

After the first service, both sides confirm it happened. Then leave honest reviews. This builds trust for your local community. Bad actors get flagged.

What does it cost?

Homeowners

Reveal Fee

Listing is free. Receiving bids is free. When you pick a winner, pay a one-time reveal fee of 25% of that bid. Example: pick a $45/visit bid, pay $11.25 to unlock their contact. You then pay for each visit through LawnSwap, the bid plus a 5% platform fee.

The Founder

Ryan Martin

Founder and CEO

Ryan is the founder of LawnSwap. He's a student at the University of Miami studying AI technology and business. He builds technology that solves real operational problems for service businesses.

LawnSwap grew out of a simple observation: homeowners waste hours calling around for landscaping quotes, and great landscaping companies struggle to find new clients without paying massive lead fees. Nobody had built a fair, transparent way to connect them.

"Homeowners should get honest, competitive pricing from professionals they can trust, and the companies who do great work should win it on merit. That is the whole idea behind LawnSwap."
