Horrible Service
April 13, 2021

I am very disappointed in the service I received. They did not finish the job, blew wet grass all over my white patio furniture, damaged personal property, and they refused to take accountability. I will never use Lawnstarter again. You can't even reach anyone via phone. I got an email from someone, but she tried to send me on a wild goose hunt to dispute the incident, after already sending in a claim. I never heard back after that email.

They will promise the moon, and deliver nothing. Avoid at all costs, at least if you live in northeastern Ohio… The photo were taken after nearly 4-weeks of no-shows, and a recent obnoxious assertion that the lawn doesn't need to be mowed.

This service is horrible! They charged me $115 to just mow my lawn with no edging or weeding. I explained the size of my property and they send one person to do the job which was not done correctly at all.

They do great work!

I'm currently stuck over an hour away from my property, and needed the lawn maintained. Lawnstarter took all of the hassle out of finding someone. The team has been out twice now and have done a fast, thorough job both times. I am very impressed and would recommend to anyone!

Lawnstarter
July 19, 2022

I love lawnstarter, it's the cheapest around, they are always offering discounts, I also love the easy to use app. Rene Gabriel has been cutting our grass since we have moved here. I can always tell if someone else comes, he does a great job!

It took a few different service providers to finally find a very good lawn care professional, but LawnStarter did a great job getting me the right fit. Buck has been doing a great job and I am always satisfied with his detailed work.

LawnStarter provided great customer service and lawn care. I am able to converse with my contractor, great response time, alerts when rescheduling is needed due to inclement weather, able to adjust frequency of mowing etc. Would recommend 100%!

It's wonderful to hear that you've had a positive experience with LawnStarter, Verona! Good customer service and effective communication are crucial aspects of any service, especially when it comes to something as personal as lawn care. The ability to easily converse with your contractor, receive prompt responses, and stay informed about scheduling changes due to weather conditions demonstrates a commitment to customer satisfaction.

Additionally, having the flexibility to adjust the frequency of mowing based on your needs is a valuable feature. It's great that you feel confident in recommending LawnStarter to others. Positive reviews like yours can be helpful for potential customers looking for reliable and customer-friendly lawn care services.

If you have any specific tips or insights from your experience with LawnStarter that you think would be helpful for others considering their services, feel free to share them. Happy gardening!

Broken Contract
February 1, 2023

I'm not usually one to post online reviews, but I feel compelled to write one here in hopes I can prevent others from having a similar experience. I was quoted $148 for a leaf cleanup and paid it to have them come out. Crew comes out and does maybe half the job, then after a bunch of back and forth they said it would be another $200 to finish the cleanup. It's been nearly a month now, our yard looks terrible, and they have been totally unwilling to come to any sort of fair resolution.

It looks like this company is getting the bottom of the barrel contractors to work for them.
They broke our window and tore our lawn hammock in all of 10 minutes.
Reckless abandon is an understatement.
Now WE have to go through the process of proving, estimates, repairs, etc.
Great experience (sarcasm)

I've had my ups and downs with LawnStarter. But they were recently bought out and let me tell you what - TOTAL 180. I'm SO happy I stayed. I have a gorgeous lawn at a great rate and the service is nothing but wonderful. Seriously.

Great job
April 24, 2024

I read about LawnStarter and decided to try them. Lionel came to my home on the agreed upon date and time.
When he was finished, my yard looked terrific. Leaves gathered, edging done and lawn mowed. All debris was taken off premises.
Lionel and LawnStarter is one of my best choices for my home.

Great job, reasonable prices
July 30, 2022

There are a few reasons I really like LawnStarter. First, their prices were $15 less for my lawn than they guy I was using before. They have a great app where you can get notified of upcoming service. This is great for me because I have a dog and want to make sure the lawn is cleaned up before he arrives. I like how you can book additional service through the app. I haven't booked other services such as hedge trimming, etc yet but I will soon.

Happy Customer
May 22, 2024

I was unfamiliar with LawnStarter but decided to take a chance. My first selection didn't show on the day they said. Admittedly, I got frustrated so I called LawnStarter Customer Service and they completely took charge. They got me scheduled with a new crew who showed up 48 hours later and went the extra mile on their service.

The site is easy to navigate and I just requested a new service through the app…it is so nice to have one place where I can organized all of my lawn needs. A+!

I recently signed up for new lawn mowing service with LawnStarter, and so far am very pleased. Scheduling and communication were easy, got before and after pics from the assigned professional, and at a reasonable price.

Beware! I've used Lawn Starter for about a year in Tampa, FL. Everything was great until the last few months. The crew destroyed 3 sprinklers; customer service only agreed to cover a part of my $164 bill to replace them. A couple months later, they damaged 2 more sprinklers. This time customer service rep, Kylie, wrote to me that it was my fault and refused to assist and reimburse me for yet another fix. They even refused to reimburse $$ for the service that caused the damage. Unacceptable and disappointing treatment of their customers. Will never use LS services again.

I met Darius when he came to do the yard. He was very personable and did a great job. Highly recommend. He mowed and trimmed the yard. He also picked up sticks that were not part of the scope of work which I appreciated.

Cutting grass
April 7, 2023

We moved into an unfamiliar area and needed help keeping the yard cut.
LawnStarter popped up in a search so we gave them a try and have been please how it's worked.
They connected us to a crew led by Brian who leaves the yard looking great.

Perfect lawn service
April 27, 2023

I love my Lawn Crew from LawnStarter. The guys are great. They do a nice job and clean up after themselves. They are always here exactly when they say they are going to be here. They communicate beautifully. You could not ask for an easier more efficient system than this.

We've used Lawnstarter for over a year. I was satisfied with the regular service we received. As of late, however, the mower has been late by days. We were just charged on June 21 when the mower didn't even show. That mower even damaged our grill cover but we said nothing. The incident that finally got to us is when that same mower caused a rock to fly into our window and cracked it. We made a damage report but Lawnstarter said they won't pay for the damages. We're not looking to scam them, we just want them to take responsibility for the damage their mower caused. Also, don't charge us when your mower doesn't show. We're not ones to write online bad reviews, but this is unacceptable. Picture of damaged window posted below.
