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.

Our lawn was mowed exactly as we asked. Trimming was very well done, and clippings were blown off the driveway. Excellent job!

Jose was professional and thorough. His attention to detail and the care he took was impressive. I am very particular about my lawn, as is the HOA.
I am very impressed with Jose and his quality of work.

Omg! What amazing service. I left this morning with a fairly out of control lawn and came back to a well tamed lawn. Thank you Chris and the gang for taking this burden off my shoulders.

😳
It was half done. It wasn't professionally cut.from the front yard in the backyard. I have pictures, but it won't allow me to load. I had an appointment with them for Sunday or Monday. They came early May,16,2024. Yesterday! I had my actual appointment
Supposedly. To have with them for Sunday or Monday. They came early out of the blue. They waited to charge me extra fee's without my consent or acknowledgment. For something that we didn't agree too.And Didn't aware me about any extra cost. I had credit that was not even applied to. It's a scam. It was the worst experience ever displeased, disappointed. Please be careful of dealing with companies like this one. Oh not to mention, it's a small yard front yard and backyard.
That would do those type of Sloppy work ethic.

My lawn experience
May 15, 2024

Philip from Lawn Starters did an excellent job on my lawn. I had struggled with lawn mowing services never meeting my lawn requirements to the point of doing my own yard service.
My job has made it hard to keep up with the care of my lawn myself. I started researching a good company to take over my lawn service. After extensive research, I picked Lawn Starter. They set me up with Philip. I am very satisfied with how Philip met all my expectations regarding my lawn care. I have St Augustine and Bermuda grass so my yard requires special needs!
I would give Lawn starters, and Philip a five star excellent review.
See if I can get it I'm gonna go out and take a photo of my yard. I'll be back.

LawnStarter is GREAT! No commitment to a contract, you choose how often and what dates for service. Mike took care of my property yesterday and did a great job. Polite, professional and great job. What more can you ask for. Oh yea - price. Reasonable prices and no huge monthly bill. Pay as you go. Best decision every. And yes - they do more than just cutting the lawn - a complete menu of services.

I feel like service providers nowadays find ways to screw consumers. I was enticed with a $19 offer to return for service. I was charged $71 for mowing my front yard. I live in a townhome. My front yard is very small. It took about 10-15 mins.The vendor added a long grass fee…they can literally add whatever they choose to your bill and debit your account. Never again.
