When should I schedule aeration, overseeding, shrub trimming, mulch and fertilization in Chico?

Aeration/Overseeding: best in early fall (Sept–Nov) for cool-season lawns — UC ANR recommends fall overseed windows and starter care. UC IPMShrub trimming: late spring or early fall (avoid heavy pruning right before extreme heat).Mulch refresh: late spring or early fall (helps with soil temperature and moisture).Fertilization: targeted feedings in early spring and late fall for many Chico lawns (adjust for turf type). Always confirm timing with a local pro — Chico’s dry summer and winter rain pattern changes schedules.

What do Chico homeowners say about GreenPal?

Positive: Fast booking, clear before-and-after photos, and good value for basic mow and edge jobs.Common issues: Occasional billing confusion if the vendor’s Stripe name looks different and short delays during peak season. Checking the merchant name and confirming photos helps avoid problems.

I told them what I needed done and when they finished, the job was completed as I had instructed them to do. Chris (owner) was very nice and professional. I am glad I found them. I will surely continue to hire them for my lawn care needs.

How does GreenPal Work?

Common questions about how GreenPal can help you hire the best lawn care service in Chico

How does GreenPal work in Chico?

GreenPal matches Chico homeowners with local lawn crews. You list your lawn, get competitive quotes, read vendor profiles and completion photos, choose a crew, and confirm work in the app so the vendor can bill.

How quickly can I get lawn care in Chico?

On GreenPal many Chico vendors respond within 24–48 hours; same-day or next-day bookings happen when crews have open routes. Expect longer waits in peak spring or right after major storms. (GreenPal’s local listing for Chico shows active weekly/biweekly booking volume.)

How do I pay, and does GreenPal hold my money?

GreenPal does not hold customer funds. Payments are processed by the lawn company through their connected Stripe merchant account (not GreenPal). Vendors submit a completion photo, you confirm or dispute that day, then the vendor charges your card. Keep photos/messages and check your statement for the vendor merchant name to avoid surprises.

Which Chico neighborhoods and nearby towns do GreenPal vendors commonly serve?

Vendors cover core Chico neighborhoods — Downtown Chico, Bidwell Park / Lower Bidwell area, East Streets, California Park, Walnut and Parkview, Oakdale, Big Chico Creek Estates — and frequently travel to nearby Butte County towns such as Oroville, Paradise, Gridley, Biggs and Durham. Use the app to confirm a specific vendor’s service radius.

Which grass types and soil/drainage issues are common in Chico — and how do they change service?

Common local turf: Bermudagrass, tall fescue, and Kentucky bluegrass appear frequently in Chico lawns (different grasses need different mowing heights and irrigation). Soil/drainage: parts of Chico near creeks or older neighborhoods can have compacted soil or clay pockets — crews may raise blade height or delay mowing after heavy rains to avoid scalping or ruts.Plan quotes that call out turf type and drainage so crews price correctly.

When is mowing season in Chico, and how many mowings should I expect?

Typical active season for many Chico lawns: March → November (irrigated lawns may need limited service year-round). Frequency example (showing the math): March–November = 9 months. One month ≈ 4.3 weeks.Weekly: 9 × 4.3 ≈ 39 mowings per season (9 × 4.3 = 38.7 → round to 39).Biweekly: 9 × 2.15 ≈ 19 mowings per season (9 × 2.15 = 19.35 → round to 19).So expect ~19–39 mowings depending on irrigation, grass type and growth. For Chico, cool-season lawns grow fastest in spring and fall; summer growth drops if not irrigated.

How much does lawn care cost in Chico?

Most Chico mowing jobs range $30–$110 per visit, with many GreenPal users paying around $36 for a standard yard. Your price depends on yard size, slope, grass type, and extras like edging or leaf cleanup.Example: 25 mowings × $36 ≈ $900 per yearWeekly March–November (≈39 mowings) × $36 ≈ $1,400 per yearTypical add-ons: shrub trimming $40–$120, mulch refresh $80–$200, aeration or overseeding $100–$450.

What should I look for when choosing a Chico vendor on GreenPal?

Prioritize these on a vendor’s profile:Recent local completion photos showing the exact task, not stock images.Review volume & recency (many fresh, local reviews > handful of old 5★s).Clear scope in the quote (what’s included: edging, blowing, clippings).Fast, professional messaging and listed insurance/business info.Remember: GreenPal connects you to vendors — it does not guarantee qualifications, so these profile signals are your best evaluation tools.

Exactly how does the payment and dispute workflow work? (step-by-step)

Vendor submits a completion photo to your GreenPal job.You confirm or dispute the job by midnight the same day.If you confirm (or do not dispute within the window), the vendor bills your card through their Stripe merchant connection.If there’s an issue, open a dispute with the vendor right away and preserve photos/messages. GreenPal’s help docs and vendor handbook explain this Stripe-connected flow in detail.

Can I book one-time, emergency, or post-fire/storm cleanup through GreenPal in Chico?

Yes — many Chico crews accept one-off and emergency requests (overgrown yards, storm debris, post-park fires cleanup prep). Book through the app and confirm the vendor’s experience with debris/brush or regulatory rules before work begins (some cleanup requires special disposal). Availability and price vary after storms; expect surge demand.

What an amazing company Green Team is and I highly recommend them for everyone. I hired them a few months ago and they’ve been just incredible. I was really surprised when they shared their lawn care bid, especially for all the lawn care work I needed help with. Not only did I contract them for lawn mowing services, they’ve also handled a lot of the edging and clean up work as well. My property near Parkview Elementary School also has a difficult spot to do proper trimming for my hedges, but they get it done every time.

I was overwhelmed with all the choices I found after doing a search for lawn care services near me. I even searched for lawn care in Chico, and was met with a long list of lawn care companies to choose from. It wasn’t until I ran into GreenPal that I decided this would be better than having to search like a maniac online. It was through them that I discovered Elite Landscape. Their name couldn’t be any more accurate. They provided amazing results for my lawn and yard that is near the Chico Marketplace and I am so happy with the great job they’ve done for my property.

I did a search online for lawn care near me and I couldn’t find anyone that was within my price range. I sent out emails to different companies but some didn’t respond and the ones that did gave me a crazy quote. In my research though, I learned about GreenPal almost by accident. I gave it a shot and I hired Rodriguez Landscaping on my very first try. Rodriguez Landscaping was truly a blessing as they provided all the lawn care work I needed for my property that is near Canyon Oaks Country Club. Thank you guys so much for everything!

The technical services I received from Grass Munchers was amazing. I hired them for different lawn service and lawn care work for my property that is close to Chico High School. While I was looking for a company that can handle some specific work around my property, I was hoping to find one that I can trust. Grass Munchers has been that company for me. Their lawn mowing services and lawn care work has been great. I don’t have to worry about having someone take care of my property. They do an amazing job every time and I highly recommend them.
