A modern, high-tech lawn care service that operates similar to Uber or Lyft has now offered its services to several cities within Shelby County.
Lawn Love is an app where the service enables its users to instantly schedule, review and pay for various types of yard work through the use of a mobile app or website. The platform is powered by satellite imaging software which reviews a property and generates a quote.
The service is now available in Helena, Chelsea, Hoover and Pelham as Lawn Love has partnered with hundreds of lawn care businesses across the state. The company aims to provide them with scheduling, job routing and payment software that will help them streamline their operations.
“Traditionally consumers have had to wait for a lawn care worker to physically come to their property, offer a quote and schedule the service,” Founder and CEO Jeremy Yamaguchi said in a release. “It can take weeks to get the job done after initial contact was made. We’re excited to be bringing lawn care into the 21st century.”
The company was founded in 2014 by Yamaguchi to revolutionize lawn care services for the 80 percent of American households that have a lawn. Since then, Lawn Love has partnered with thousands of independent lawn care companies to deliver services across the country. The San Diego based startup is now operating in more than 120 U.S. cities.
“The average Alabama lawn care company only has two employees, they lack the resources to modernize their business models,” Yamaguchi said. “We are trying to democratize software for small businesses that will allow them to compete with dominating, corporate lawn care providers such as TruGreen.”
Each independent contractor goes through a background check to assess their level of lawn care experience before they can begin work. Users can schedule a wide range of services including lawn mowing, weeding, aeration, gutter clearing and more.
