About MOWR Technologies

Launched in 2019 by Doug Salazar and Gray Taylor, the MOWR mobile application delivers on-demand lawn service by allowing users to request and schedule service with ease – lawn care, leaf removal, snow management, and maintenance are now a few taps away. Through efficient and effective service, MOWR helps solve users mow, snow, or maintenance needs.

Just an idea in 2017, MOWR took over 18 months to come to life as Doug and Gray worked to develop the application. As the duo continues their entrepreneurial grind, they have already completed one major update aimed at debugging and better user experience. Plans for additional improvements are slated for early 2022.
