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 debated with myself for more than a year whether or not to hire a lawn service. I mean, after all I should be able to mow the lawn, right? It just always seemed to be the last thing on my list and ALWAYS felt like a chore hanging over my head. I checked out LawnStarter. Best decision ever. Frank is the bomb. Gets it done, quickly, no issues. Professional and conscientious. Brought another guy with him today- they hammered it out in less time than it takes me to get ready to do it! If you're here it means you're thinking about it- don't wait a year- sign up now. I'm not being paid for this endorsement, it's the real deal.

I have tried to find good, reliable lawn care people for years and now with LawnStarter I no longer have that need. They set up you with great yard guys who are professional and good.

September 12, 2022

Awesome job again from Theodore, he's always on time and comes out a day early. I am so happy with my lawn I'm going to have my hedges done also. We moved into our new home over the labor day weekend I signed up for service and they said they would be out on that Tuesday but Theodore came out that Saturday for us. Thanks again

Going above and beyond
September 12, 2022

Devoris with LawnStarter went way above and beyond in his last mow of our yard. We had some weed eating done, and some of the vines were left behind. Devoris, when he came to mow, took these vines with him. My wife and I were ecstatic to see the vines gone. Devoris always does a great job when he mows, and this shows how dedicated he is.

Excellent service
September 12, 2022

This service takes all the effort out of mowing the lawn! Not only do you not have to do the actual work, but you can have the service automated. You get a reminder so if it needs to be skipped you can, and an alert once it's done. The service is always fast and looks great!

William with LawnStarter
September 11, 2022

Aside from my husband being thrilled that William with LawnStarter has been taking care of our lawn and beds over the last couple of weeks, William and his team are really doing a great job. We have them cutting and edging every two weeks and this week added a one time service to weed our beds. This has been a tremendous help to us with hectic schedules and a lawn mower that stopped working. My husband isnt moving very quickly to get it fixed. He's too happy with LawnStarter's services!

Good Team Work
September 9, 2022

Olga and team have only been working at our yard for possibly 3 months and in that time I only had to bring to their attention one picture showing debris they forgot to pick up! I think that is excellent. I have tried a lot of maintenance companies and all have failed as sloppy but Olga brings it home!

Rip offs
September 9, 2022

I do not recommend these people. They will come out to your property after quoting a price and them once they are there they will cut your grass and then say it was too long, so they have to charge you double. Instead of telling you before they cut the grass that they need to charge extra for a long grass fee. This company is a fukn rip off... beware

Lawn service
September 9, 2022

I had a bad experience with the first pro, the job was very incomplete from 8/15. After rescheduling from 08/27 to 09/06 and it being rescheduled again to 09/09. Lawnstarter send me my new pro Hugo and his crew came out and completed the work in 1 hour. It did cost me $134.14 for a one time clean up fee and the 42.00 For the bi weekly service. Total cost 196.00. Hugo and his crew did an amazing job and I'm glad that he will now continue to do my lawn! Very happy with the work he did. He had great equipment to get the work done fast and correct! Again thank you Hugo!

Amazing Lawn Care Service

Nathan did an outstanding job today on diligently working to get our grass cut down. Took a lot of stress off the family to see our yard come back to life. Highly recommend anyone wanting their yard to feel like home again. Even the edges look remarkable! Super impressed!

Great, convenient
September 9, 2022

So with this being on an app it pays automatically from your card and you dont have to worry about meeting the mowers every time to pay them very low maintenance dont even have to communicate if you dont want to just schedule a mow and your good to go
Devonn always has to clean up our dog toys although i do try to pick them up for him
Also he never runs over my flowers so i like that he takes care of my lawn
