Hay Day: Who is Greg and what does he do?
If you have been playing Hay Day for a while - or possibly if you have skipped through the tutorial too fast - you might find yourself wondering, who is Greg? Why is he on my friends list? Do I have some long lost cousin who has been grandfathered into the game from Facebook? When’s the last time I sent him a holiday card?
Well, fear not, confused player, for I know who ‘Greg’ is and why so many people are asking. I also know what he does, so let’s get right into it.
In this post, I'll explain who Greg is, why he appears on your friend list and what it is that he can do and why. So click on to find out more about the elusive Hay Day Greg.

Who is Greg?
Greg, simply, is a NPC. A non-playable character designed by the game. He is introduced during the tutorial, when you unlock Level 1. He is your first friend in the game - one you cannot unfriend - to show as an example of how to play. But, Greg does far more than just sit on your friends list.

What does Greg Do?
- Greg can come to your farm, as one of the many characters appearing, asking for items in exchange for coins. - Greg can purchase items from your roadside shop if the item has gone unsold for quite some time. - After you have hit Level 25, Greg can offer his Lumberjack services.

How does the Lumberjack Service work?
If you are over Level 25 and have 25 or more dead plants, Greg can come and offer to clean up your farm. Greg will cut down a maximum of 20 dead plants, starting with dead nectar bushes. Greg will charge between 40 and 50 diamonds, depending on how many axes and saws he needs. Axes cost 4 diamonds and saws cost 5, which is a 50% discount on the total price of them if you were trying to do the work yourself.
