If you're looking to have your yard mowed and are curious about the prices, GreenPal offers a convenient platform where local lawn care services can bid on your lawn based on detailed criteria. Here's how you can use GreenPal to efficiently find, hire, and pay for lawn mowing services.
Getting Bids and Hiring a Lawn Service
Requesting Bids:
When you sign up on GreenPal and list your lawn mowing needs, local lawn care providers who use GreenPal to manage their businesses will submit bids. These bids are calculated based on the square footage of your lot, aerial images, and street view imagery to ensure accuracy.
Hiring a Lawn Service:
After reviewing the bids and selecting a lawn service provider, you will complete the hiring process through the platform. This setup is similar to booking a hotel room; you reserve a spot on the lawn service provider’s route.
After Service Completion
Digital Invoicing:
Each time your lawn is mowed, the service provider will email you a picture of the completed work. This is your digital invoice, confirming that the service has been completed to your satisfaction.
Payment Process:
Once you confirm that the lawn mowing is completed satisfactorily, the lawn care service will bill your credit card. Note that your card information is held securely on the lawn service provider’s Stripe account and not by GreenPal itself. GreenPal facilitates the connection but does not handle the direct billing or store your payment details.
Setting Up Regular Service
Scheduling Regular Mowings:
If the first mowing meets your expectations, you can set up weekly or bi-weekly mowings through the end of the lawn mowing season. This can be arranged directly with your chosen lawn service provider through GreenPal.
Additional Yard Work:
Besides basic lawn mowing, you can also request quotes for additional yard work, such as trimming or cleanup, from the same provider, ensuring all your lawn care needs are managed comprehensively.
Tips and Troubleshooting
Service Photo Confirmation:
If you haven’t received a photo of the completed work by the end of the service day, it's advisable to reach out to your provider. Sometimes, there might be a delay in uploading the confirmation photo due to various reasons like technical issues or oversight.
How to Sign Up:
