LawnStarter Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of LawnStarter is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from unreliable service, communication failures, and inadequate customer support. Many reviews highlight issues such as missed appointments, unexpected charges, and poor handling of service-related damages. While some customers report positive experiences with specific lawn care professionals, these instances are overshadowed by the company's inconsistent service and lack of accountability. The recurring themes of frustration and disappointment suggest a pressing need for LawnStarter to improve its operational transparency and responsiveness to enhance customer trust and satisfaction.

They did a great job on my lawn, what a relief that they got it done so quickly and efficiently. They came soon after I call them. I didn't have to wait for weeks.

LawnStarter technician Chuck gave my lawn its first cut this season, and I am very satisfied! He was mindful of plantings and had an eye for detail. There is a lot of mole activity in the yard and he made sure not to scalp the raised areas. Communication is great with this company. They want to know your picky preferences before they come out. LawnStarter was the only company that responded quickly to my lawn needs. Within minutes they responded and I was able to hire them for the season. These guys mean business, and they provide a great service. I'm happy to have signed up with them!

The online web site is easy to use and navigate. Joseph responded back to me in a very timely fashion. I do appreciate that. Colin and Anthony came to do the work and did exactly what I wanted and were very quick about it. This has been a good and useful experience. I would recommend to everyone who needs some work done outside. Thank you all.

We needed to get one of our rentals prepared for showings, and Ryan and his LawnStarter team did a fantastic job on EVERYTHING. They raked up the leaves, mowed the lawn, trimmed bushes, and trimmed the trees. What did our client say? That everything looks fantastic (which is the typical reply when we hire them instead of doing it ourselves! Lol). Ryan, when my kids are older, I hope they run our business as well as you run yours, THANK YOU!
