EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – GreenPal is now available in El Paso and Las Cruces, providing independent contractors with new jobs and safe lawn services for those who need it.
Gene Caballero, a founder of GreenPal, told KTSM 9 News that this app is the “Uber of Lawn Service,” which allows independent contractors to sign up for free and offer their services through the app.
He said when they developed the app in 2012 they didn’t expect it to be so useful during the pandemic we are in right now.
He said the app is helping contractors get an aerial view of the property so they can estimate the cost of their service. This makes it easier for contractors and homeowners as no contact is required before or during the service.
Caballero said it had submitted an increased number of applications from independent contractors in recent months.
“We are fortunate to be able to offer such services to immunocompromised people,” said Caballero. Many of their customers who request services are elderly.
He explained that the service is requested through the app by writing in your email and the type of service you need.
The contractors then bid for the work, set the price themselves, and you pick the best deal.
Once connected with your contractor, they will be able to do the work on the specified day and, when done, upload an image to the app.
Caballero says all applying contractors must have a valid driver’s license, submit pictures of commercial landscaping equipment they will be using, and provide pictures of some of their previous work.
