Real Experiences From GreenPal Santa Cruz Users
So easy

Great job, courteous staff

Love my lawn! Overjoyed with their services. Super easy to work with and very efficient. I'll update with pictures later
The first person I booked flaked on me 2x without reply via text but the second person was phenomenal! Very professional and did an amazing job with my lawn. Highly recommend.👍🏼
We just used GreenPal for the first time for a property we have out of state. The grass had not been mowed in a couple months. I found GreenPal and I immediately found a gardener to mow and as of today, the grass is back to normal. I found the process simple to use and I had no issues. And the gardener I found was extremely responsive and did exactly what we needed him to do. I would highly recommend.
Good service, ease of scheduling!
I was able to find a solution to my lawn problem with Greenpal. I was able to hire a dependable lawn service at a great price. The Lawn Liberator was easy to communicate with via text and answered quickly. He arrived at my property as scheduled and completed my lawn maintenance at a great price.
Quick and efficient. The lawn looks great
