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'm a big fan of LawnStarter. They provide great service at an affordable price. Total value! Derrick provides service at my place. He's hard working and the lawn shines when he's done. The company provides an app which makes ordering service easy. As a whole, they communicate very well. Strongly recommended!

Alex has always come and did a great job at my place. He has good communication if something comes up which happens. He took a request of mine no questions asked and did a great job. Very thankful for Alex and his work.

Quality Work
August 19, 2022

George mowed, edged, and removed the debris from our driveway and pathways. He was very careful around our planting beds. I injured my back several weeks ago and it was wonderful to have LawnStarter take care of our lawn during my recovery.

Waste of Time
August 18, 2022

If I could give lawn starter a negative star review I would. I set up service with them. The crew rescheduled more than once. When I asked to reschedule and get a new crew I was told I would have to wait 24 hours to reschedule and the new crew would be out in 4 to 5 days. I was also told different policies by different customer service reps. Terrible company

Lawnstarter puts Consistency and Communication a priority with their customers and that's why I use their services. If any little thing changes you'll get notified. They also offer a variety of other services right there on the app. Making it really easy to get other things done freeing up your time for your family.

I have had some really bad l uck in lawn service over the years. I searched several lawn services experience was horrible. Just when I almost gave up I found LawnStarters. They sent two of th me best teams out and Dawna stayed with me. I live the team, they see what needs to be done and they do it! Any other that came just walked out. I want to T H and Dawna and her Team... Awesome Working Team!

Tony is my crew with LawStarter. I've had one lawn mowing with edging and another with cutting of tree saplings completed. Both done with wonderful service. Thank you for making my yard look great and taking the extra step to remove a fallen tree brach hanging out in the car port!
