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.

GREAT JOB!
April 20, 2024

I am very impressed with the job that they did on my lawn. To come home and have that done and done well was nice. I just was expecting the price gouging that I received. Very disappointed. And for anyone who has read my previous review, yes, I sadly to edit this. I just don't like being lied to. Not a good way to do business.

Scheduled on a Wednesday and got serviced on a Thursday. Grass looked great and no clippings left behind. Trimming around the fence looked great and edging around the sidewalks was done very well.

Lawn mowing
April 18, 2024

My lawn was pretty high because we had moved to Texas and had gotten rid of my lawn mower but we had to return because my husband now has Alzheimer's. I'm pretty particular about my lawn and he did a great job getting it mowed down and looking great. Will recommend to anyone I know

Good morning,

I would like to let you know that I am very satisfied with our landscaper. He did a wonderful job and was very professional.

Can you let him know to also remove grasses and weeds growing in some of the cracks on the sidewalk and driveway? Other than that, I am very happy!๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you!๐Ÿ’•๐ŸŒท

I had my grass cut for the first time today by James from LawnStarter. He did a great job. My grass was pretty high as this was the first cut of the season. It looks well maintained. He came on the day promised and alerted me that he was on his way. Great job!
