Invoice created before you leave the driveway. Share a link, track every visit, and run your whole business from your phone. MowBase is the free lawn care app built for solo operators and small crews. No bloat. No hidden fees. Free for your first 10 customers.
You've got customer info in your contacts, job history in your head, and who owes what scribbled on a receipt. It works — until it doesn't.
Every field in MowBase was put there because operators asked for it. No bloat. No features you'll never use.
Address, gate code, turf type, irrigation setup, preferred service day, pricing, and crew notes. Everything you need before you pull up to a property.
MowBase calculates the next service date automatically based on each customer's frequency. Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly — it tracks it all and flags who's overdue.
See your whole week at a glance or pull up the monthly calendar to plan ahead. Click any day to see who's on the schedule and what you'll earn.
Add employees, assign them to accounts, and filter your schedule by crew member. Each person gets a color so you can see workload at a glance.
Every customer record links to Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions. Got a phone number on file? One tap dials them directly — no copy-pasting, no hunting through your contacts.
Designed from the ground up for phones, tablets, and desktops. No app to download — just open it in your browser. Launches with a branded splash screen, works offline, and fits in your pocket.

Export your customer list and service history to CSV any time — compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, and QuickBooks. Pro includes full history export. Your data is always yours.
The complete payment workflow, live on Pro. Works the way your customers already pay.
We talked to independent operators and read every forum thread, review, and complaint we could find. Here's what we built differently.
MowBase passes card processing costs directly to you with no markup on top. What the card network charges is what you pay — nothing more. And if your customer pays cash or check, there are no processing fees at all. You just tag it and move on.
Email invoices routinely land in spam — especially on mobile — and unpaid invoices pile up because customers simply never saw them. MowBase sends invoices as text message links by default, the channel customers actually check. Email delivery is also available.
Most lawn care software doesn't support credit card tips, and it's a real frustration for operators whose customers want to add one. MowBase invoices include an optional tip field — your customers can tip when they pay, right on the invoice, without any awkward conversation.
Operators who've had their software shut down mid-season know this pain — years of customer records, service history, and billing data, gone overnight. MowBase lets you export everything to CSV or PDF any time, no questions asked. We don't lock you in.
We don't gatekeep support behind a premium tier. Every MowBase customer — free or Pro — gets the same level of help. Nobody gets left on read because they're on the wrong plan.
A lot of lawn care software is built for commercial landscaping companies with 50+ employees — and it shows. The complexity, the pricing, the onboarding calls. MowBase is built for you — the solo operator or small crew who needs software that works without a training course.
You don't need an onboarding call or a YouTube tutorial. It just works.
Enter a name, address, phone, and service details. Takes about two minutes per customer.
Add your employees and assign them to accounts. Everyone knows where they need to be.
Pull up the schedule each morning. See who's due today, get directions, check gate codes and notes.
Hit "Log Visit" when you're done. MowBase records the date, services, and schedules the next one automatically.
Most lawn care software was built for commercial companies with large teams. MowBase was built for operators like you.
I tried Jobber for six months and used maybe 10% of it. MowBase has exactly what I need and nothing I don't. My crew actually uses it because it's not confusing.
The overdue alerts alone are worth it. I was losing customers because I'd forget to follow up after weather delays. That doesn't happen anymore.
Gate codes, turf type, the dog in the backyard — it's all right there when I pull up. Makes me look like I've got it together even when it's a crazy week.

Quick reads for independent lawn care operators in the Southeast and beyond.
Jobber starts at $69/month and is built for mid-size commercial operations. MowBase is free for solo operators and small crews — no bloat, no onboarding calls. If you're running fewer than 10 accounts, Jobber is almost certainly overkill.
Yardbook is free but runs ads and has a well-known issue with invoices landing in spam folders. MowBase is also free (up to 10 customers), has no ads — ever — and sends invoices as text links so they actually get opened.
Our early users are lawn care operators in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, and Alabama. Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine, Fescue — MowBase knows the turf types, the season lengths, and the way the work gets done down here.
Most lawn care software was designed for a desktop in an office. MowBase is built mobile-first — every screen, button, and tap target designed for a phone in your hand between jobs. No app download needed, just open it in your browser.
Email invoices land in spam. Printed invoices get lost. The right way to invoice a lawn care customer in 2026 is a text message with a payment link — they tap it, pay in 10 seconds, and you get notified. That's exactly what MowBase Pro will do.
LawnPro charges an undisclosed ~2% fee on top of Stripe's 3% — operators don't find out until they check their Stripe dashboard. MowBase will never do this. Card processing costs pass through at network rates, no MowBase cut, no surprises.
