Real Experiences From GreenPal Sunnyvale Users
Neko, did an amazing job on our lawn & excellent job edging. Happy we found him!
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.👍🏼
Got my lawn taken care of promptly and did a great job.
Very good to have them find a landscaper and options for Illinois. Our lawn mowed broke and we wanted our lawn mowed asap. They found us options and provided those options very quick.
We are very pleased with Jason's work. He came in time, did a great job and our yard looks terrific. We'll be using him again.

Built for Sunnyvale's Clay Soil & Summer Heat
Sunnyvale's heavy clay soil makes proper mulching essential. Local landscaping companies on GreenPal understand how to prepare beds, improve drainage, and select mulch types that thrive in CA's humid summers.
Quality mulch installation helps regulate soil temperature, retain moisture during hot months, and prevent the clay from becoming compacted.
