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.

Amazing job
May 17, 2023

Recently had a triple bypass. This put an end to doing the yard work this year. Contacted Lawn Starter on the advice of a friend. Lawn Starter quickly assigned a professional to take care of my property. It's been a couple of weeks and no complaints. The yard looks like there was never an issue with me. Thank you Lawn Starter and Joe.

I'm currently stuck over an hour away from my property, and needed the lawn maintained. Lawnstarter took all of the hassle out of finding someone. The team has been out twice now and have done a fast, thorough job both times. I am very impressed and would recommend to anyone!

Rude
May 16, 2023

I called asking for information. My property is very steep and I cannot really mow it. I need to use a weed eater or any other tool like that. I was explaining my situation to the woman who answered the phone and she was extremely rude to me. Very unprofessional.

They refused to mow the grass because it was too long.
So, I mowed my own grass and kept it short.
But they refused again due to long grass only two days after I mowed it very short.
I requested a service the next week, but they failed to show up on the day of service.
When I contacted them, they said they were behind their normal schedule.

No telling who shows up to cut your lawn or how they will cut it. Furthermore, apparently they do not follow instructions. Contrary to express written instructions, they completely covered my new black mulch with grass clippings, and cut my newly planted grass to the dirt. Do not use these people because eventually you will be sorry.

I've just started using LawnStarter but have been very happy with my service. The same person has come out a few times and he's been very flexible and done a great job with my yard! I love how easy it is to get services and communication within the app is fast and convenient even if I'm not home. Everything has also been super affordable.

LawnStarter was a quick and easy sign up. I was assigned my services to Lawn Junkie. Michael went above and beyond to accommodate me on his schedule when I needed the service done. He was quick to reply to my messages and the bush trimming and lawn cut look amazing!
