Lawn Mowing & Maintenance
Weekly or bi-weekly mowing, edging, blowing, fertilization. The foundation of curb appeal. Set it up once, keep the same pro as long as you're happy — no annual contracts, no auto-renew.
$50–$205/visit · Recurring · See Lawn Care Prices →
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Pruning, hedge shaping, small tree removal, stump grinding. Confirm insurance + chipper-truck access in chat before booking — tree work is the highest-liability landscape job and the wrong "guy with a chainsaw" creates real damage risk.
$270–$1,800 · Seasonal · See Tree Trimming Prices →
Full Yard Makeover
Complete landscape redesign including plants, beds, hardscaping, lighting, irrigation. The average backyard makeover runs $10K–$15K and adds up to 15% to home value. Phase the work to avoid one giant deposit.
$5,000–$30,000 · Major Investment · See Landscape Design Prices →
Mulch, Beds & Planting
Mulch installation, flower bed prep, soil amendment, planting shrubs and perennials. The fastest ROI improvement — instant curb appeal for home sellers and a single-visit fixed-bid job.
$100–$3,000 · Curb Appeal · See Mulch Prices →
Hardscaping & Pavers
Paver patios, retaining walls, walkways, gravel installations. Creates usable outdoor living space. Retaining walls $3K–$12K, paver patios $2.5K–$8K. The biggest deposit-fraud target — escrow makes it impossible.
$2,500–$12,000 · Outdoor Living · See Paver Patio Prices →
Seasonal Cleanup
Spring cleanup, fall leaf removal, storm debris, gutter clearing, winter prep. Prevents dead patches and keeps HOA compliance intact. Most homeowners book one spring + one fall visit per year.
$150–$500 · Spring & Fall · See Cleanup Prices →
Fence Repair
Leaning posts reset, panels rehung, gates aligned, storm sections rebuilt — fix the run before the next wind finishes it.
$100–$350 · See Fence Prices →
Gutter Cleaning
Gutters scooped, flushed, and flowing before the next storm — downspouts snaked, sagging runs re-anchored, photo proof included.
$80–$250 · See Gutter Prices →Need sod installation ($800–$4,000), sprinkler systems ($1,000–$6,000), landscape lighting, drainage work, or commercial property maintenance? Post it. AllBetter landscapers handle everything outdoor.
Photo the Yard. Find Landscaping Contractors. Walk It. Approve.
From a weekly mow to a $20K backyard makeover — here's how AllBetter replaces the deposit-and-pray model.
Show Us the Yard
Photo the lawn, beds, trees, fence line, paver area. Note lot size, frequency (one-time vs recurring), and special needs (gate access, dog in yard, sprinkler heads to avoid). Takes 60 seconds. No credit card. No deposit. No annual contract commitment.
Compare Real Bids
identity-verified landscapers send fixed per-job bids — total cost locked before anyone touches the yard. Compare price, reviews, and identity status side by side, then ask about equipment and timing in the chat.
Walk the Yard. Tap Approve.
Your money sits in escrow while the crew works. Walk the yard and tap Approve — only then does the crew get paid. No annual contracts. Posting and comparing is free; a small service fee applies at booking.
Don't Hand a Stranger $5,000 Upfront.
Deposit-takers vanish, cash-only crews ghost, and the big chains lock you into 12-month contracts. Three things kill all of that:
ID-Verified to Bid
Government ID confirmed by identity before any pro sees your address. No anonymous lawn crews in your backyard with the gate open.
Every pro · no exceptionsEscrow-Protected Payment
Your money sits in escrow while the work happens. The pro is paid when you approve the finished job — not before.

AllBetter vs. TruGreen vs. Lawn Love vs. Thumbtack
TruGreen and the national chains lock you into 12-month contracts with auto-renewal and cancellation friction. Lawn Love assigns whoever's closest — no choice in pro. Angi/Thumbtack charge landscapers $15–$50 per lead — that cost gets baked into your quote. Cash-only "guy with a truck" wants a $2,000 deposit and good luck if he ghosts.
