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.

Great service
July 25, 2022

Kyle always does a great job. Is quick with communicating schedule changes when they arise. Always on time and always locks the gate back.

I was connected with Clean Cut Lawn Service via Lawnstarter. I am so pleased with Eric and Chris who took care of my yard with a cleanup service. Chris took the time and care to really bring my yard back to order. I look forward to Eric and Chris doing bi-weekly maintenance on my yard. Great job, professional, courteous, and hard working. I highly recommend Clean Cut Lawn Service.

Bad Service
July 23, 2022

Do not use this service. Employees half do the yard. They want to charge me $33 just to cut the front yard and never mowed the entire yard. Service was a day late from the original schedule service.

Mowing the lawn is a chore but so are all the other tasks that go into trimming trees and shrubs and landscaping. I like that the team is clear on communication early to ensure its mowed in a timely manner and cleaned up as well.

At first I did not know how I was going to keep up with my yard being active duty army. Lawnstarter had a special going on and now I love the service. My yard has clean crisp edges no tire marks in the grass and all around looks amazing.

It's rare, but I found one: A lawn care company that does what they said they would do, when they said they would do it. Yay, LawnStarter.com. And you can't beat 19 bucks for a first mow. http://lwns.co/JBoc1S/*******

Not having equipment to maintain the yard for my rental home, I was relieved to find a service that is a good value, always shows up on time and with plenty of notice and communication, and always does a good job so I have one less thing to worry about. They mow my 0.33 acre yard and trim large bushes. Great job with both.

LawnStarter does not make it crystal clear that they do not have their own crews. They outsource, which is essentially sub-contracting. This means, if there is a service provider you know you don't want, they could still be hooked up to service your property. If the provider is good, then you think LawnStarter is good. But, check out their web site. Try to find a point of contact to speak to, or chat with, or email and you will come up empty. I am trying to drop them and though they acknowledge there is no contract, they want to enforce a 2-cut minimum.
