What you're producing
Blowing is the last step of every visit, after mowing, edging, and trimming. Clippings go back onto the lawn — never onto hardscape, into the street, or down a storm drain.
What good looks like
Blow every hard surface clean: driveway, walkways, patio, curb and gutter, steps, entryways. Use wide, sweeping arcs; take extra care with wet clippings — they're harder to clear. Check customer vehicles before leaving. Base mowing includes blowing and soft cleanup of existing edges; hard edging is a separate, billable add-on. Bagging clippings is a separate add-on, but don't agree to it or set it up yourself. Send the customer to Support, who adds it only if the customer asks. If there's enough debris for a haul-away truck, recommend Junk Removal in the app. If it's something you can do yourself, use Custom Service and price it. That doesn't apply to clippings you clear from hard surfaces.
Common mistakes
Clippings piling up at the sidewalk edge? Check the edge first — an uncut edge often causes this; re-edge, then re-blow. Leaving clippings on a driveway, sidewalk, or the street is a trackable dispute reason ("debris cleanup/blowing"), not a courtesy miss. Blowing them into the street can also break local rules. Forgot to blow before leaving? Go back if you're still nearby, or contact Support if you've already left.
