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.

Lawn Service
November 2, 2022

Very easy to use! They are doing a great job at our rental properties! We never have to wonder if they arrived as they communicate their arrival and let us know when the job is complete!

LawnStarter? More like NonStarter - AVOID!
October 21, 2022

Epically, biblically horrible service. Hugely truncated version: they last mowed on 8-15; they've repeatedly promised to be back but never actually have been; they actually charged me in mid-September for one of the missed services because (I'm told) the assigned crew just plain lied and said they'd actually mowed; they've made up utterly ridiculous lies and excuses for 'skipping' me (example: a crew allegedly was unable to 'access' the property - meaning, I can only assume, that they just couldn't navigate the never-has-been-locked gate that NonStarter had previously itself used many times to great effect before they apparently decided, without telling me, that they just plain were never ever going to cut my yard again). I could go on and on and on (mind you, this is the TRUNCATED version!) - but I finally lost all patience, banned them from even coming onto my property, and sent them a formal notice and demand letter under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS! Remember: friends don't let friends hire NonStarter. Trust me on this one, people

GREAT LAWN SERVICE!
October 19, 2022

James and his crew did an outstanding job on my yard. We just moved into this house and the yard was looking kind of ragged. Yard is looking fine now! Still some work to do, some bare spots in the back that we plan to tackle in the early spring. Thanks.

Miguel. Thank you for a job well done, you and your team have been very accommodating and even though this is a three and done service, because of my daughter's lawn mower has been fixed, we will definitely remember you again in the future.

I am using them from last few months after getting frustrated with individual lawn mowers ghosting me. Lawn starter seamlessly replaces the individuals and makes sure that the lawn is taken care of. The individuals also do a very professional job.

Daniel is a very conscientious worker who takes very good care of my lawn. I'm a guy who likes to mow my own lawn but a recent hospital stay made that impossible. Daniel did the job that I would have done if I were doing it myself with my lawn and that couldn't make me happier

In an age where communication, follow through and quality lack, Manny and his team are the exception. They always come when scheduled and do great work in a quick timeframe. They always notify me when they are on their way and when they're finished. I would recommend this company and Manny specifically, over numerous other competitors in the area.

Hello, A W. Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you are satisfied with the service that Patrick provides!
It seems like you might have chosen the wrong number of stars when evaluating the App. If that is the case, would you mind editing your rating to 4 or 5 stars so that the correct rating shows? It would help much.
Thank you!
