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 Lawnstarter for the past few weeks. My first crew that came was great and very polite but ran into some issues that led to them being unable to continue tending to my lawn. Lawnstarter had another crew come out and take over the job without me having to do anything. I would normally have to take the time to find someone myself...I am totally amazed that it was taken care for me and the new cutter was just as good an polite as the first.

Lawnstarter scam
April 18, 2023

I have had lawnstarter for a while. It is convenient paywise. I paused my service during the winter and have since renewed it. The grass has grown a lot with the recent rains and yes, my grass is tall and I expected to pay extra but they are charging FOUR times the regular rate! I would have paid even double but over four times the normal rate is a joke. $200 for JUST the front yard! Trust me I don't have a huge yard. Just a normal size front yard. For that price and could buy a mower and do it myself!

Bait & Switch
April 17, 2023

We signed up for BI-WEEKLY MOWING, as this is actually one of their options. Why, I'm not sure because after they mowed ONE TIME, the next time they were at the property, which is a rental, they send me a text message, advising, we need to do this, that, and the other thing to the tune or $181 (can't remember exactly, but it was $180+), and they stated "REQUIRED SERVICE." All we want is for the lawn to be mowed bi-weekly, that's it. No more. No less. So, they apparently do not care about their customers needs and requests - they are going to take care of YOUR lawn, they way THEY want to. I call this MO, BAIT & SWITCH!

LawnStarter is great!
April 17, 2023

With all the rain (and now sun), my lawns were growing super fast, so I needed immediate service. I signed up for the introductory, three-week promotion, and I couldn't be happier with the results. As a homeowner, I feel a certain pride when my property looks well-maintained and manicured.
Luis Enrique is a true professional.
