Is there an Uber for lawn mowing?
4 comments

I recall a startup doing this a few years ago but I think they went out of business.

I think the issue is lawn mowing is usually done on a set schedule for a long time so the transaction cost is fairly low and you don’t want to pay a third party to handle the matching problem.

Maybe taskrabbit can cover this.
They're really missing out by not moving into federal services. Current administration would be all over firing federal employees and paying a fraction to gig employees.
Urban company is a gig platform for all manner of house work, I think it's only india based though.
