About Bryan Clayton:
Bryan Clayton started mowing lawns as a teenager with a push mower. Twenty years later, he’s the CEO of GreenPal — the app Entrepreneur Magazine calls the Uber for lawn care.
Before GreenPal, Bryan built one of Tennessee’s largest landscaping companies growing it to over $10 million a year before selling it.
Now he’s doing it again — this time with technology. GreenPal connects 300,000 homeowners with reliable lawn pros, handling thousands of jobs every day all over the US.
Bryan’s on a mission to bring AI into one of the oldest industries out there — helping small lawn care businesses use data and automation to compete like big companies.
From pushing a mower to building a $30 million tech platform, Bryan’s story is all about grit, adaptation, and how old-school hard work can thrive in a high-tech world.
