When it comes to lawn care, Bryan Clayton believes it should be easy. That’s why he founded Green Pal.
“Green Pal is the quickest way for people to find, schedule, and pay for their home services,” said Clayton.
Green Pal lets you set up your lawn profile online and they do the work. They link you with lawn care specialists in your community that will fit your needs. Each specialist posts his or her price on your profile. You can then read reviews of the specialists, see pictures of their work, select the specialist that is right for you, and schedule the appointment right from your computer or mobile phone app. When the job is completed, the specialist will send a picture of your lawn to your phone. You then pay Green Pal by credit card and schedule your next appointment, right from the web or app. Green Pal takes the hassle out of handling your lawn service.
What makes Clayton qualified to know what people want with their lawn care? “I’ve been in the landscaping business my whole life,” he said.
