Better Living, Better Lawn Care in Palo Alto

Palo Alto, Calif., is more than just a beautiful city in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s also a community that can be defined in three words: educational, business-friendly and eco-friendly.

The city has a population of approximately 67,000 in a 26-square-mile area that’s ideally located near all modes of transportation. You’ll find plenty of bicycle paths throughout the city, and heading to the airport via a shuttle, car or bus is also convenient to all three international airports. The bustling, small city's commuter rail system is another transportation plus for locals and visitors.

When you hear of Palo Alto, you may immediately think of the birthplace of Silicon Valley where cutting-edge, high-tech giants like Google and Facebook were founded and Nobel Prize winners are born. Of course, there’s also the prestige of Stanford University with its strong educational and cultural assets and the handsome Stanford campus.

Palo Alto is a well-rounded community where people concern themselves with maintaining urban sustainability. Approximately one-third of the city is open space. There are 28 neighborhood parks to explore, picnics, exercise the dog, play basketball, tennis or skate around.

The Baylands Nature Preserve is a favorite in town and features one of the best bird-watching areas on the west coast. The city offers nature walks and ecology programs here. You can also enjoy walking, running or biking along 15 miles of beautiful trails. Did we mention windsurfing and boating?

The Art Center here is a wonderful stop and a fantastic community resource. It's a welcoming place for people of all ages. There are exhibitions and a diverse range of classes from ceramics to painting, to book arts and collage.

There is also the small Museum of American Heritage downtown, offering a look at some of America's most significant inventions from the 1750s through the 1950s.

Dining and shopping are major draws to the city, and it’s easy to see why. The pretty tree-lined streets, small-town atmosphere and handsome architecture give way to little coffee shops and bookstores, outdoor cafes, two downtown movie theatres and numerous eateries and boutiques.

It is a vibrant community and a safe place to live in, and people there take pride in their neighborhoods. The public schools are highly rated, the nightlife is considered first-rate, and the city is a diverse community and one of the best places to live in California.

Most residents own their homes, and it's common to see well-manicured lawns. That doesn’t mean you have to spend every weekend on yard work to fit in.

LawnStarter offers skilled, hardworking landscapers who can create the picture-perfect lawn with the tap of an app. Download the LawnStarter app or go to the website, enter your ZIP code and you’ll get a list of services customized for Palo Alto. Choose the services you want at a time that’s convenient for you.

The landscapers are all licensed, insured and personally vetted by LawnStarter to offer Palo Alto homeowners a fast and efficient way to maintain the kind of curb appeal associated with this proud California community.
