When you hire a lawn care service using your free GreenPal account, you can expect a comprehensive and professional yard maintenance experience from them. Here’s a breakdown of what’s generally included in their price and what you should anticipate:

Included Services

  1. Professional Mowing: The lawn care service you hire will mow your lawn to an appropriate height, ensuring a neat and well-maintained appearance. (if your grass is under 6" tall)

  2. Weedeating Around Obstacles: Trimming grass around obstacles, such as trees, fences, and flower beds, to ensure no area is left unkempt is typically included in their pricing

  3. Edging of Sidewalks and Paved Surfaces: Precise edging along sidewalks, driveways, and other paved surfaces to give your lawn a clean and defined look unless your edges are way overgrown, then it will take them a few visits.

  4. Clean Up and Blowing Off Hard Surfaces: After they mow, the lawn care provider you hired typically will blow off hard surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and patios.

Special Conditions

  • Tall Grass Surcharge

    • If your lawn is taller than 6-10 inches, your initial mowing may cost 2-3 times the regular rate. Discussing the details with the lawn service you hire direclty is recommended to get an accurate quote.

Additional Services

  • Weed Control in Beds

    • Some GreenPal users prefer additional weed control services, such as pulling and spraying weeds in flower beds. This can be added to your ongoing lawn maintenance schedule by discussing it with your lawn care provider directly.

Not Included

  • Shrub Pruning: Pruning and shaping shrubs and hedges are usually not included in their standard lawn mowing service. If you require these services, you may need to arrange them separately with your lawn care provider, and then they can add the costs to your free GreenPal account for you.

  • Bagging of Your Lawn Clippings: Most lawn care services do not include bagging of clippings in their standard pricing. If this is a service you require, be sure to discuss it with your provider to understand any additional costs. Generally, they will mulch up the clippings. (If your grass is over 6-10" tall, your first mowing is going to look pretty awful)
