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.

The title above is ample to let you know reason for not a good feedback. I live in a HOA managed neighborhood and could not have grass longer than 6 to 9 inches, which is also a standard plan you offered and I opted. First service, and I am totally dissatisfied. Wont repeat business after you three cuts policy

I am quite pleased with the lawn services provided by LawnStarter. DeAngelio was very professional and personable. He was thorough, and explained to me what I should expect when receiving lawn services. He asked questions regarding my lawn, and what I needed. Although this is just a start, I will certainly continue receiving exceptional services from LawnStarter. As a new homeowner, I am excited to keep my lawn in tip top shape, and if I can have DeAngelio as my regular professional to attend to my lawn, I will be very pleased. Keep up the good work! I recommend LawnStarter as a start!

Lee communicated clearly, treated me courteously and handled the work flawlessly. He gave me a few pointers about improving the health of my lawn and even tidied up the carport where dead leaves had accumulated.

Lawn Starter Review
March 20, 2024
Updated review

Since I am a heart patient (and also recently had hip replacement surgery), I can't do the lawn myself. So, I found Lawn Starter last year, and am using them on a monthly basis to take care of the mowing. Unfortunately, being on a limited income, I can only afford it once a month, and can't get any of the other services, but at least I can get the basic mowing taken care of.

Hello, Daryl! You're navigating through some tough circumstances with resilience and practicality. Taking care of your health should always come first, and it's positive that you've found a reliable option with LawnStarter to help manage your lawn despite your limitations. While it may be challenging to afford additional services, focusing on essential mowing is a smart choice to maintain your property without overextending financially. Remember to prioritize self-care and reach out if you need further support or advice.

Previous review

My two previous lawn care teams had "disappeared", so I had to search for a replacement. Since I have numerous health issues, I can't do the job myself. LawnStarter came up, and as a first time customer, I'm very pleased with the service...Curtis did a great job on trimming the hedges and mowing the yard. I definitely will be using them again.

Took a chance and used LawnStarter service for the very first time, and Lititz PA at my home, gave them specific instructions to follow of what to do where to do it how to get into the yard what to clean up, etc. everything was done to perfection and the cost was minimal I do recommend LawnStarter. They were very eager and extremely helpful and I would hire them again.

A friend told me about LawnStarter and told me it was super easy to use so I gave it a try. Not only was it easy to use but I was contacted within 30 minutes of submitting my request. I also received updates that Terrance was on his way to my home. He was quick and able to get everything done in about 30-45 minutes. I highly recommend using LawnStarter.
