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 am new to Lawnstarter as of June 2022. Noah has been great. He is responsive to my requests for additional services and I appreciate his suggestions for my trees and non lawn mowing needs. I am on the road every week so it's nice to have the app to communicate easily and efficiently. Noah helps me be a good neighbor!

Lawn Maintenance
August 3, 2022

I had a lawn crew stop showing up after they were switching owner's. I search for a local business and came upon LawnStarter. They asked I few question's on my need's and wants with a mowing scheduling/pricing. A few hour's later I was put in touch with a lawn company. Unfortunately, they had to cancel and I was immediately sent another company to consider. The follow up with both LawnStarter and my lawn service company is amazing. Thanks!

The LawnStarter platforma and their providers are incredible. Marcedes is my provider of service and I got a text from him 15 minutes prior to arrival. I was able to put my large Mastiffs in the house and block the dog door as well as unlock the gate. He was in and out in a flash with a great looking lawn! He even locked the gate back for me! Great Service!

Lawncare Service
August 3, 2022

I am in the process of moving from one house to another and needed a lawn service to help me take care of one of my properties while I recovered from foot surgery. LawnStarter has been great to work with. They always communicate about upcoming appointments, send messages after the job is complete and I have been able to do it all on line. Great service!

I think Lawnstarter is Awful in many ways. They're intro (first mowing) was supposed to be $19.00 They debited $50.00 from my account. I called to tell them that, was only able to leave a v. mail and 24 hrs later, have not heard from them. Also, technology wise, they're Very difficult to work with. You have to call one phone #, be transferred and even then they either don't understand what you're asking for or can't help you. I even called the other day to cancel the next mowing. They transferred to another ext. And all I got was please rate the employee I was transferred to. I called twice to make sure it wasn't me. It wasn't. I got the same recording. This is ridiculous! You're just a lawn service.

I've been using Lawnstarter since January to help my parent's keep up with mowing and trimming. The app is easy to use, the lawn looks great, and the price is always reasonable. Will continue to use.

Not only did they not show up 4 times, but customer service never returned my emails and calls. Secondly they charged me $44 each time when my old lawn service was $20 (since the lawn is small.)
