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.

They are always communicative, very responsive, flexible around your schedule, and they do an amazing job. Would 100% recommend to anyone in need of lawn work
Today my lawn was done by a new crew. Before the crew left, I went out to speak with the crew leader, Aaron. I told him everything looked great and he took the time to speak with me about what I might need or want to have done in the future. Aaron was very friendly, polite, and had a good sense of humor. I really enjoyed speaking with him. I look forward to seeing Aaron and his team member on their next visit and having my lawn once again look great.

This is the absolute worst company you can have the displeasure of working with. They DESTROYED our sprinklers and disappeared. Apparently the crew they sent came again to "fix" it but no one came back and DEFINITELY no one fixed the sprinklers. I get in contact with the "property damage department" (should have been a red flag they deal with so many property damage claims that they have a whole separate department for that) and 1 whole month later... nothing. NOTHING has been done. They keep asking for more quote, the quotes have to be written out a specific way, responses take forever. Let me tell you, sprinklers can be fixed by owners of small companies and they don't operate with "quotes have to be written this way and I'll let you know in a few weeks if it gets approved by the company that destroyed my sprinklers in the first place." They just do the work and get paid. This is a house that was on the market and I fixed the sprinklers myself since lawnstarter was so slow and useless. Absolute SCAM. RUN AND DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

The crews who come out to my property always do a great job and get it done pretty quickly. The pricing is more than fair and I recommend them to anyone.

It is always refreshing to experience great professional service. I am 81 years old and am forced to rely on others to provide lawn service and other services. I am very grateful that there are those willing to provide such dependable and above "the call of duty" service. I have not always that to be true of some lawn service teams. I feel lucky to have this team doing my lawn service.
Wow, this is exactly what we like to hear, Carl. We put customer satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. Thank you!
So far LawnStarter has been very good. The people are very professional and to a great job. I would suggest this company to anyone.
Thank you for taking the time to share this positive rating, Mark! We will make sure to share this with our team to let them know to keep up the amazing work! Thanks, again!
After a disastrous experience with a random company from Craigslist, I found Lawnstarter online. They were reliable, simple to book, professional and had very reasonable rates. They also use an app that's easy to use to schedule and keep track of services.
Thanks so much for giving us your take on how we are doing, Michelle. We're glad that customers like you are having a great experience at LawnStarter!
This cleanup of my front and back yard was amazing. Even help with replanting my trees.
Highly recommend this service crew.

George is great! He shows up on time, does a great job and keeps the yard clean. When asked if he would do a little extra he has no issue at all.
It is delightful to hear such positive words and it’s always a pleasure to serve you, Scott!
I was matched with an awesome service provider within hours. Michael has been communicative, reliable, and does an excellent job with our lawn. I highly recommend this service (as well as Michael!) to everyone.
Wow, that was an amazing review for our crews! Thank you so much, Courtney.
Luis does a great job and is very thorough. We love the job he does. Highly recommended! Never disappoints!
Thank you so much for such a great review, R! We are happy to hear you liked your first service. The next ones will be just as great!
The title really says it all. There is a group of 3 that come to mow my lawn, edge all places that need it, and blow out the yard so that my entire property and the street are completely free of debris. I recommend them. They also give you different tiers of mows you might want or require and at the end of the mow, they ask you to rate the mow and give a review so that things stay the way they should.
Wow, this is exactly what we like to hear, Lawrence. We put customer satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. Thank you!
I'm disabled. Willie at LawnStarter communicates very well with me. He lets me know when he is coming out to mow my lawn. Then he keeps his word. My lawn always looks nice after he is done. I don't even have to be home to have my lawn mowed. The app does it all. Since I'm disabled I really need to trust him to do a good job! Thank you Willie!
Thanks so much for giving us your take on how we are doing, Laura. We're glad that customers like you are having a great experience at LawnStarter!
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.
