Nashville-based GreenPal, an app that connects homeowners with local, vetted lawn care professionals, launched this month in the Woodlands.

Co-founder Gene Caballero said the free app has been successful in the Greater Houston market and is beneficial for both homeowners and business owners.

"It's free for both the homeowner and the vendor to use," Caballero said. "Homeowners get bids from different lawn vendors in the area. There's been a lot of interest in this area."

The app can be downloaded through Android phones or iPhones. Homeowners can schedule their lawn services through the app as well as pay for services and compare service prices. To learn more about GreenPal, visit www.yourgreenpal.com/tx/the-woodlands-lawn-care
