Bryan Clayton

Entrepreneur | Founder & CEO of GreenPal | Lawn Care Marketplace Pioneer

Bryan Clayton is an American entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of GreenPal, a technology platform that connects homeowners with local lawn care professionals across the United States. The marketplace currently serves more than 300,000 customers and generates over $30 million in annual revenue.

Bryan has over 22 years of experience in the lawn care, landscaping, and home services industry. Before launching GreenPal, he founded Peachtree Inc., a regional lawn care company that he grew to more than $10 million in annual sales before selling the business.

His experience running a traditional landscaping company inspired the idea for GreenPal. Bryan saw firsthand how difficult it was for homeowners to find reliable lawn care services and how challenging it was for small landscaping companies to consistently acquire customers. GreenPal was built to solve both problems by creating a simple digital marketplace connecting service providers with homeowners.

Building GreenPal

Since launching GreenPal, Bryan has focused on building a platform that empowers local lawn care professionals while giving homeowners a simple way to manage their yard maintenance. The platform is often described as the “Uber for lawn care” because it allows users to request lawn services, receive bids from local professionals, and manage payments through a mobile app.

Under Bryan’s leadership, GreenPal has grown into one of the largest online marketplaces for lawn care services in the United States.
