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.

Garbage Service!
May 3, 2024

So I just had my lawn cut by Good Guys Lawn And Fence and I'm sorry but the service by Lawn Starters was terrible took forever to actually get someone out and OMG when they came out these 2 guys did a terrible job they cut it uneven left grass trimmings all over my yard front and back, then missed my entire section in the front by my front door I'm talking like you can't miss it unless your were messed up on something. Backyard was cut uneven and they didn't even weeded everything they needed too. Icing on the cake is they broke 2 of my yard lights. Just lazy, half-A** and very unprofessional work, I even tipped them 20% SMFH I'm so mad and I'm trying to get my money back immediately because if Lawnstarters call these guys service pros then they surely don't know what there doing in lawn business! Lol then they limit your size you can upload to only 5 MB which means crappier pictures and less of them these guys truly know what there doing.

My son is serving his country overseas and in his absence a neighbor complained about his yard. I was able to set up a bi-weekly service from another state so his lawn would be taken care of. It was effortless to set up and John did a great job! Thank you!

I found LawnStarter online. The app was easy to use. Raoul showed up on time and introduced himself. He confirmed what I had requested online. Mowing, edging, and blowing debris from the driveway and sidewalk. Raoul did a magnificent job. Thank you Raoul.
