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.

I have been using this service for a year now.My yard man is Julio and he does a fantastic job...even with "not ideal" conditions. Always contacts if any schedule changes and confirms appt the prior day. Nothing but good things to say about the service.

They do a good job of mowing the lawns. They are inconsistent with checking the app and seeing when I don't want a service. They also have told me they've completed a service two days before they come compete it. It can be pretty pricey too. But when done correctly it looks nice and everything is fine
