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.

Loving the work!
August 9, 2022

I have loved and appreciated the work that Brandon Mitchell has done for my parents. Provided lawn service and tree/shrub trimming and removal. Always communicates when and what he is doing. Follows through with his promises. Yard looks the best it has in years. Thanks Brandon.

Solid work
August 8, 2022

My yard always looks 10 times better after the crew gets done. They arrive either on time or before the expected date, so I never have to worry about late service.

Francisco with Lawn Starter did a excellent job cutting our lawn. He arrived on time, was professional and our lawn never looked so good. Don't hesitate to contact Lawn Starter for your lawn / landscaping needs.

LawnStarter has been a tremendous help for me. I just recently moved to the Winder area and under our HOA rules, lawns must be well kept and maintained. LawnStarter has exceeded our expectations. The front and back and even the sides and yard trimming look immaculate! Very good job Shaveon and crew. Thank you for the great communication and professionalism. I probably won't even waste time and money on getting a lawn mower with these guys in town! Look forward To staying with ya'll for months and years to come

They were great the first two times they cut our lawn, the third time they ran over and broke one of our septic pipes. Accidents happen so we were OK scheduling them for another service but they cancelled and tried to reschedule FIVE times, meanwhile our grass grew to be a foot high! We cancelled our service and went back to our old company.

No more worries
August 6, 2022

I had a small lawn service dealing with my lawn, but when the owner died the business fell apart within months. After that I hired various local men in the neighborhood who mow lawns for a living, but I could never rely upon them to show up and then I always had to have cash on hand to pay them.

When I finally got very frustrated I looked online and found LawnStarter. The relief it has brought me is wonderful. I can pay online or have the payments automatically deducted and I know my lawn will be mowed every 2 weeks on Monday as arranged. The price is reasonable and I know that if the gentleman who mows my lawn now ever quits, LawnStarted will arrange for someone else to pick up the job.

The worst experience
August 5, 2022

This company allegedly says that it maintains your lot. But in reality bills you for work not done properly and then after months hits you with a long grass fee when a new worker takes over. This has happened to me over 4 times. I am an out of town property owner and rely on the hem being honest. To complete the work I pay them to do. Biweekly. But. Obviously they cheat you, because when a new lawn mover starts, they send me pictures of a lawn that looks like it's never been cut! This happens every 4 month sand all along I've been paying for a biweekly cut! Fraudulent company. Have complained so many times. And it keeps happening. Do not use this company unless you are at the property to see with your own eyes what is happening. If you are an out of town property owner trying to maintain your lot, go elsewhere they will rip you off guaranteed!

Great job!
August 6, 2022

John did a really great job with cutting and edging my lawn. He was very friendly and made sure to ask questions about the job prior to starting.

With me moving here from another state where I didn't have to maintain a yard, I'm adjusting to how expensive it can be.
