How does GreenPal work?
Quick: create a free profile, enter your West Valley City address, request quotes or review nearby pros’ profiles/photos, hire the vendor you want, and schedule one-time or recurring service. After the pro completes the job they upload a completion photo so you can confirm. GreenPal connects homeowners with local pros and shows bids, photos and recent ratings to help you compare.
How do I pay, and does GreenPal hold my money?
GreenPal does not hold or move your funds. Vendors process payments through their own Stripe merchant account connected to their GreenPal profile: your card is held to reserve a spot and the vendor charges it after you confirm the completed job (you have until midnight the day of service to dispute). Check the merchant name on your statement — it will be the vendor’s business, not GreenPal.

How do I choose a reliable West Valley City provider on GreenPal?
Look for: recent completion photos from local yards, volume & recency of ratings, clear descriptions of included tasks, whether the vendor lists insurance/business info, and fast message responses. Read recent third-party reviews (Trustpilot, Yelp) and compare multiple bids and photos before hiring — that gives the best practical signal of reliability.
What should I do before the crew arrives and how do I communicate special instructions?
Before service: move hoses, toys, pet bowls; unlock gates or leave access codes; mark sprinkler heads if needed.In-app: use the GreenPal message thread to leave clear requests (sensitive beds, HOA rules, pet details).After service: check the completion photo and, if not satisfied, open the in-app dispute or message the vendor before midnight on the day of service.
How are weather delays, snow, and reschedules handled in West Valley City?
Winter snow and spring freezes can delay or pause lawn work; vendors typically offer a ±1-day window for weather reschedules and will message options through the app. For HOA deadlines, book earlier and confirm directly with the vendor so they can prioritize your slot.
