Meet the man who's bringing tech into what is a typically low tech field

Who really likes to care for their lawn, honestly? Unless you are one of those rare individuals who takes pride in silly things like public appearance and accomplishing tasks, getting out the lawn mower and weed eater to get your yard in tiptop shape is not high on the list of priorities. And, I mean, sweating, really? That's for the birds.

Thankfully, if you are in California or Texas (some restrictions apply, continue down to the interview for exact locations) Lawn Love can take care of those tasks for you. They are bringing tech into what is typically a low tech field. We had the chance to talk with Jeremy Yamaguchi, founder of Lawn Love, to ask him a few questions about his lawn care services. Check out our interview below!

For those that don't know, what is Lawn Love?

Lawn Love is an on-demand lawn care marketplace. We make it incredibly easy to find, book and pay for a great lawn service. We've been called the "Uber for lawn care", but I'm not sure that's the best comparison. Like Uber, we're bringing a tech platform to a traditionally low-tech space, which allows us to provide customers with a much betterexperiencethan the current alternatives. Unlike Uber, we're actually pretty nice people and keep the baby-eating to a minimum.

In what locations do you provide lawn care?

We're currently live in seven major markets across California and Texas. We initially launched in San Diego and have since expanded to Los Angeles, Orange County, San Jose, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio. We have plans to be in another 10-15 major metro areas in 2015.

What services do you provide your customers?

The majority of our customers use Lawn Love for regular maintenance. This includes things like mowing, edging, trimming, and general yard care. We also offer a number ofspecialtyserviceslike lawn aeration, seeding, fertilization, etc. Our lawn techs are highly experienced, and can take care of just about anything that grows outside your home.

What is a "Lawn Care Technician"?

Our lawn technicians are independent service professionals.We have a pretty rigorous section process, and we screen, background check, and I-9 verify each of our service providers before bringing them on board. They averageten years of experience caring for yards of all shapes and sizes,and are familiar with the grasses, pests, and seasonal challenges that are specific to each region. They are highly capable folks, and will work wonders on your yard.
