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.

Jason came quickly before the rain came. He mowed both front and backyards, weeded and edged. He did a great job

I was so happy to find Javier and crew. They showed up on time and let me know they were arriving shortly by text. He had a full crew and was done in no time. Was very pleasant and did a fine job mowing and trimming.

Great Service
April 30, 2023

I was able to easily find this service online and sign up to get my lawn mowed. After putting in my information I received the quote and set up service. It was easy to set my preferences and discuss my property (I can even directly message the crew). This is the second time they have come to mow my lawn and it always looks perfect when they are finished. What's even nicer is I don't have to be there while the service is being provided. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs to find a quick, easy way to get their lawn mowed with great service at an affordable price!

Great Lawn Service
April 29, 2023

I have been using Lawnstarter for mowing, trimming, and mulching services for more than 2 years. As someone who usually works 6 days a week, I am grateful to have found this service. My lawncare specialist, Brandon, and his workers are very professional and provide excellent service. I am very satisfied with their work and will continue to use this service.

Lawn care with ease
April 29, 2023

I have used LawnStarter for a few years now since owning my home and it has been extremely convenient. All of the service requests and communication are handled through an easy to use app. I've also had nothing but great service from my local crew (Jordan) no matter what the service is (e.g., mowing, leaf removal, bush trimming).

I had a very rude lawn servicer, Andrew Dechert, who didn't do a complete job and didn't edge my backyard and also left my privacy fence gate WIDE open. When I messaged him and asked him to please be sure to close it and asked why he didn't edge the backyard, he was very rude and added an unjust $56 EXTRA fee stating my grass was very long. I was billed $126 for ONE grass cutting. My yard is less than an acre. Sadly for him I have security cameras that prove it wasn't that long. You just never know who it will be cutting the grass and unfortunately there are some dishonest and unprofessional services. I DO NOT RECCOMEND LAWN STARTER.
