What exactly is GreenPal, and how does it work?

GreenPal is like Uber for lawn care — a free app and website where you can get quotes, schedule service, and pay a local lawn pro in just a few clicks. Here’s how it works: You enter your address in Akron Local, pre-screened lawn pros send you price quotes within minutes You pick the one you like best (based on price, ratings, and availability) Your lawn gets mowed — and you pay only after approving the job photo No calls, no waiting for callbacks, and no hidden fees.

How can GreenPal save me time?

Can this really save me money compared to what I’m paying now?

Yes — and here’s why: You get multiple quotes, not just one price Vendors compete for your job, so you often pay less There are no middleman markups or hidden contracts You only pay after you approve the work — no risk of paying for poor results Weekly mowings in Akron often start at $30–$45, depending on your lawn size.
