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.
Omar did a phenomenal job on our lawn! It looks good as new and is so beautiful! Lawn Starter provides amazing work for an excellent price!
Wow, that was an amazing review for our crews! Thank you so much, Suzanne.
I know my yard isn't the easiest due to access issues but andy did great! Thanks a million for coming out so fast and doing great work.
Thanks for reviewing Andy’s lawn care work, Ryan! It's always good to hear about our providers doing good work. And if you ever think of a way that we can improve our service, definitely let us know through the app.
Congenial and professional person. Andrew's work is appreciated by the family. It would be hard to find any fault with the service and easy to find much to praise.
Thank you for taking the time to share this positive rating, Virgil! We will make sure to share this with our team to let them know to keep up the amazing work! Thanks, again!

Wow, this is exactly what we like to hear, Montaw. We put customer satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. Thank you!
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!

Andrew is the guy who cuts my grass. He does an amazing job! He lets me know when he's coming and leaving. Couldn't ask for better service.
Thanks for reviewing Andrew’s lawn care work, Samantha! It's always good to hear about our providers doing good work. And if you ever think of a way that we can improve our service, definitely let us know through the app.
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!
We are sorry to hear about your recent experience with one of our services, Sherri. Please know that we are proactively working to improve your experience.

I have utilized this service twice now and each time I am amazed at how incredible my lawn looks. Everyone at all stages of interaction has been extremely nice and friendly! Also, mostly everything is set up via the app which I find extremely convenient. I'm never cutting my lawn myself again!
Thank you so much for such a great review, Liz! We are happy to hear you liked your service. The next ones will be just as great!
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.
Wow, this is exactly what we like to hear, Carole. We put customer satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. Thank you!
Answer: This company is a scam, they get your credit card and charge for "extra services you did not request.
Answer: I have spent nearly $200 and my yard still looks like trash. Find someone else to do your yard. These people charge for work they never complete!
Answer: LawnStarter.com does not employ lawn guys. They use contractors that might be in the area and willing to do the work. Neither are responsible for property damages like sprinklers, shattered windows, etc.
