First, who does what
We Match. Your Local Crew Does the Work.
Golden Oak Lawn Care is a lawn care network. We match you with a vetted, insured local partner crew in your city. They do the work. We stand behind it with the Golden Oak Guarantee.
Your crew runs its own local business. You'll see their name next to ours, like "Smith's Lawn Care, a Golden Oak Lawn Care Partner." We handle the quote, the texts and the guarantee.
The three steps
Your Part Takes About 2 Minutes
Everything after the form happens by text. No site visit. No phone tag.
- 01Your time: 2 minutes
Tell us where
Fill in the short form with your address and what you need.
- 02Within 60 minutes
Get your price by text
We measure your lawn from satellite images. Prices go out from 7am to 8pm.
- 03Your time: none
Your crew starts
Pick your day. Your crew mows, trims and texts a photo after every cut.
Step 1
Tell Us Where Your Lawn Is
The quote form asks for just what we need to price your lawn:
- Your name and mobile number, since your price comes by text
- Your street address and city
- The jobs you want: mowing, trimming, hedges or a cleanup
- How often: weekly, every two weeks, or a one-time cleanup
- The best time to text you
Email is optional. We don't ask for a credit card to send a price.
Step 2: Get Your Price by Text in 60 Minutes
We look up your address on satellite images and measure the lawn. That's why nobody needs to visit, and you don't need to be home.
Send the form between 7am and 8pm, and your price lands within the hour. Send it late at night, and we'll text you after 7am. Curious how the measuring works? Read how the 60-minute satellite price works.
Step 3: Pick Your Day. Your Crew Starts.
Like the price? Reply yes. You and your crew set your day and a time window. That window matters, because the On-Time Guarantee is built on it.
Book The Worry-Free Lawn Season and your first cut is free. Golden Oak pays for it.
After every visit
Photo Proof, Texted to You After Every Cut
When your crew finishes, they snap a photo of your lawn and text it to you. It shows up on your phone before they've pulled away.
Why photo proof matters
- You know the job got done, even if you're at work or away.
- You can see the edges, the stripes and the cleanup at a glance.
- If something's off, you already have the photo thread to reply to.
If something's not right
Text us a photo within 24 hours. Under the Love-It Guarantee, your crew re-cuts it free within 48 hours. You don't have to call the crew or argue. We sort it out with them.
All season
Everything After That Is One Text
Your crew keeps coming on your day. Here's how the rest works.
Rain on your day
Rain pushes the visit to the next dry day, and we text you. A rain delay doesn't count as a miss. See rain delays.
Going on vacation
Text us to pause. Text again when you're back. See payment and pausing.
A missed window
If your crew misses your scheduled window, that cut is free. The crew pays for it, not you. See missed windows.
