Landscaping, NYC
Landscaping in New York City.
Vetted landscapers at launch, your price, one flat $1 fee.
Yes, New York has yards. Deep backyards out in the boroughs, planted gardens tucked behind brownstones, real lawns all over Staten Island, and Manhattan terraces and rooftops that need genuine care. Bobby is being built to connect New Yorkers with vetted landscapers for mowing, planting, cleanups, and everything green in between. You see the price before you commit, and the fee is a flat $1. Landscapers set their own rate and keep every dollar of it.
A flat $1 fee, whichever side you are on.
Here is how a fall yard cleanup works on Bobby, for the customer and for the landscaper. Drag the price to see it at any job size. Same flat fee, no percentage cut, ever.
If you book it (customer)
The landscaper keeps 100% of their price. Bobby's fee is a flat $1, never a percentage. Standard card processing is billed at cost, and your full total is shown before you confirm.
If you provide it (landscaper)
A typical 25% app would take $24 of this job. On Bobby, all $95 stays yours.
What you keep as a landscaper, side by side
You keep all $95. No percentage, ever. The flat $1 fee is the customer's, added on top.
They take $24 out of this one job. You keep just three quarters of your own work.
Example only, not a quote. Landscapers set their own price; the flat $1 fee is what stays fixed.
Everything, one flat fee.

Why New Yorkers are choosing Bobby.
Most home-service apps skim 15 to 30 percent off every job. A good landscaper either eats that loss or quietly nudges your price up to cover it. Bobby does it differently: a flat $1 per booking, full stop. The landscaper keeps their whole rate, you see the total before you book, and the person doing the planting and mowing gets paid exactly what they earned. Simple, and fair on both ends.

Built for New York. Launching by the book.
Bobby is preparing for launch and is finalizing all required business registrations, insurance, and provider vetting. Every provider will be identity-verified and background-checked before their first job.
Our platform is being built with compliance at its core. Services requiring regulatory authorization will not be offered or made available until all applicable licenses, permits, and registrations have been issued.
In the meantime, we invite you to join our waitlist to be among the first to experience Bobby when we officially launch.
