Capturing high-quality photos of your lawn care jobs is not just about documenting your work; it's about showcasing your skill and dedication to potential clients and your family.

However, GreenPal's system has specific requirements designed to maintain integrity and trust within the platform.

Here's a guide on how to handle photos effectively while adhering to GreenPal's policies.

1. Taking and Storing Photos

When you finish a lawn care job, it's always best to take photos immediately.

This not only helps in documenting the quality of your work but also ensures that you're compliant with GreenPal's requirements.

Use your smartphone to take the pictures and ensure they're saved to your camera roll. This way, you have a backup should any upload issues occur on the app.

2. Uploading Photos to GreenPal

Once you've taken your photos, the next step is to upload them directly through the GreenPal app. It's important to do this while still at the job site.

GreenPal's system uses GPS to confirm the location where the photos are uploaded, which helps verify the work's authenticity.

Why Does Location Matter?

GreenPal has implemented location verification to prevent fraudulent activities where providers might upload old or irrelevant photos for different jobs.

This measure ensures that all photos uploaded are indeed from the location of the job, thereby maintaining trust and accountability in the platform.

3. What If You Forget to Take a Photo?

If you forget to take a photo while at your customer's home, you might need to return to take one. Although this can be inconvenient, it ensures that your submission to GreenPal meets the necessary requirements and that you can complete your job submission and get paid without delays.

4. Sharing Your Work

If you want to share the photos of your work with family or on social media, ensure you first save them on your phone. Taking photos with your phone's camera app before uploading them to GreenPal is a good practice. This way, you can easily access and share these images anytime, without needing to pull them from the app.

5. What to Do in Case of App Issues

If you encounter issues with uploading photos through the app, first ensure that your internet connection is stable. If problems persist, using GreenPal's website through a desktop might be a reliable alternative.

Also, make sure your photo is a clear, crisp photo of the freshly mowed lawn for your customer and the green grass without any obstructions of cars, concrete, or anything like that; most likely, that's your issue.

Always ensure your app is updated to the latest version to avoid glitches.
