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.

Perfect lawn service
April 27, 2023

I love my Lawn Crew from LawnStarter. The guys are great. They do a nice job and clean up after themselves. They are always here exactly when they say they are going to be here. They communicate beautifully. You could not ask for an easier more efficient system than this.

I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE MY LAWN- THEY LEFT THE CUT GRASS ALL OVER IN MY YARD. DID NOT DO SERVICES REQUESTED. THEY KEEP SAYING "SOMEONE WILL BE OUT TO COMPLETE THE JOB...THAT WAS A WEEK AGO. MY YARD IS RUINED, AND UNEVEN, AND THE GROUND IS SHOWING BECAUSE IT WAS MOWED RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND!

This company says you need to have a 3 mow minimum and then getting them to actually show up for the mows is ridiculous. No one showed for our 3rd mow. I waited an HOUR on the phone for customer service and they didn't help me, just said they would try to get someone else out. A MONTH after my original was scheduled, Bryan was sent to mow our incredibly high and overgrown lawn. Bryan did a wonderful job. However, I would not recommend this company. No one reached out to apologize for the issues until a few days after I posted honest reviews of their company. Would not recommend this business.

I recently started lawn service for the season and went again this year with Lawn Starter. I was very happy with them last year. They have reasonable rates, a wide number of services and they have been very reliable. Also they do really well at communicating when they will be out and to discuss any needed changes.

Easy lawn management
April 27, 2023

LawnStarter has made taking care of our lawn simple and easy. It's all done from an app on my phone. I can choose how often I want my lawn mowed, I can pause it if needed and restart it when ready.
The crew's do a great job and you know as soon as they are done if you are not home.

Pretty great
April 24, 2023

My lawn was quite overgrown as we hadn't cut it all year. They took care of it and even took the pile of branches when I asked about it. A quick quote and good prices.
