TaskEasy is a technology platform that automates exterior property maintenance services, primarily lawn care, snow removal, and related tasks, for homeowners, renters, property managers, and businesses. It connects customers with a nationwide network of over 14,000 vetted contractors via intuitive software, enabling seamless ordering, quality checks via photos, transparent pricing, and automated management across all 50 U.S. states and 12,000+ cities.[1][2][4] Serving hundreds of thousands to over 800,000 properties, TaskEasy has completed over 6 million jobs, raised $45 million in funding, and was acquired by WorkWave in 2022, expanding its capabilities in field service marketplaces.[2][3][4] This growth from a small crew in 2013 to a scaled platform underscores its momentum in simplifying a fragmented industry.[1][4]
TaskEasy was founded by Ken Davis, a serial entrepreneur with a background in cybersecurity, including founding Oakley Networks (acquired by Raytheon in 2007, where he served as VP of Technology).[1][5] Frustrated by the inefficiencies of managing lawn care and snow removal across multiple properties—finding reliable contractors, ensuring fair pricing, and tracking work—Davis developed a solution to make these services as easy as online shopping.[1][4][5] Launching to consumers in April 2013 (with roots traced to 2011 in some accounts) from a Salt Lake City basement with a 10-person crew, it quickly gained traction, securing $45 million in investments to build a robust platform with apps, APIs, and security.[1][3][4] Pivotal moments include early expansion to 2,900 cities and 100,000 mows, serving major rental brands, and the 2022 WorkWave acquisition, which integrated it into a larger SaaS ecosystem for broader home services.[2][3][5]
TaskEasy stands out in the property maintenance market through these key strengths:
These features empower local contractors while delivering efficiency gains for clients.[1][6]
TaskEasy rides the proptech and field service automation wave, digitizing a $100B+ U.S. landscaping and maintenance industry long plagued by fragmentation, manual processes, and unreliability.[1][3] Its timing aligns with surging demand from institutional single-family rentals (post-2020 housing boom) and property tech adoption, where managers oversee thousands of dispersed assets needing consistent upkeep to preserve value.[2][3][4] Market forces like labor shortages, rising property portfolios, and SaaS integration (via WorkWave) favor its model, automating what was phone/email chaos into a marketplace akin to Uber for yards.[1][3] By supporting local entrepreneurs with steady work and tech tools, TaskEasy influences the ecosystem, boosting contractor efficiency and setting standards for transparency in on-demand services.[1][6]
Post-2022 acquisition, TaskEasy is poised to evolve from yard-focused specialist to full-spectrum home services platform, leveraging WorkWave's network for interior cleaning, repairs, and beyond.[3] Trends like AI-driven scheduling, climate-adaptive services (e.g., extreme weather snow/landscaping), and proptech consolidation will shape its path, potentially doubling its property base amid growing rental markets.[2][4] Its influence may expand by powering more enterprise APIs, fostering a contractor gig economy, and redefining "hassle-free" maintenance—echoing its founding vision of tech solving everyday pains, now at national scale.[1][3]
TaskEasy has raised $42.0M in total across 4 funding rounds.
TaskEasy's investors include Accomplice VC, Building Ventures, Chartline Capital Partners, Grotech Ventures, Moderne Ventures, Openview Venture Partners, Primary Venture Partners, SoftBank Capital, Access Venture Partners, Camber Creek, Delta Electronics Capital, Kickstart Fund.
