“Excellent Service”

Jeremy did an amazing job working on my lawn. He really pays attention to detail and will do everything he can to leave your property looking nice. I am looking forward to having him continue with his services in the future.

Top Critical Review

“Deceptive Advertising”

Mitchel M.
8/22/24

Was looking for a one-time mow, their website says they offer a one-time mow. Ask for a quote, they call me and tell me they require a minimum of a three-mow service. I say I'm not interested in that. They text me the next day saying they have an exclusive offer for $19.00 of the first mow, call or click the link. I click the link; it says they offer a one-time mow again. I text them back and they say they require a minimum of three mowing services. I say I'm not interested in deceptive advertising practices; your website says you offer one-time mows. They say thanks, let me know if you change your mind. Ridiculous, honestly.

I started using LawnStarter, an online platform for lawn care. It was easy to schedule and they arrived on time and did an excellent job. They're offering a $19 mow deal on your first service.

Joseph, did an awesome job and timeously. My lawn had not been mowed and was a little overgrown and needed extra effort to mow. Great cleanup afterwards too!

Setting up my service with the app was easy and and only took a few minutes. As soon as I was finished, I heard from Samuel, my lawn care specialist. He was great at communicating with me, showed up on our agreed upon date and time, and did a spectacular job! He went above and beyond and and left my lawn looking amazing! I highly recommend this company and, very specifically, Samuel!

😳
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.

LawnStarter technician Chuck gave my lawn its first cut this season, and I am very satisfied! He was mindful of plantings and had an eye for detail. There is a lot of mole activity in the yard and he made sure not to scalp the raised areas. Communication is great with this company. They want to know your picky preferences before they come out. LawnStarter was the only company that responded quickly to my lawn needs. Within minutes they responded and I was able to hire them for the season. These guys mean business, and they provide a great service. I'm happy to have signed up with them!

Signed up and received the $19.99 first cut. HIs first message to me was that he was here and was going to get started. Looked outside and didn't see anyone. Then he sends me a message saying his schedule is full and will not make it, this after stating he was here. Told him no problem and that I would cut it myself and he could show up the following week. Next week comes by and once again he states he cannot make it out and that I have been rescheduled from May 12 to May 17. I asked could he come in the middle of that week he said yes and that he would be out tomorrow and guess what no showed again so by now I have cut the lawn myself at least 4 times. He finally does show up and the Professional pulls up and takes his mower out of his trunk of his car, starts mowing but continuously had issues with his mower so he kept stopping, finished finally but used my leaf blower that was in my garage. (Professional crew). Second cut, goes fine. Same guy from first cut with a friend. Third cut, 2 different crews also no show when they said they would, so I cut the lawn myself, no responses from them via the messaging part of the app. Next day they show up unannounced, so I told them come back next week well they charged me anyway. They never cut my yard but charged me. After 2 months of getting basically 1 decent cut I canceled. Paid 3 times and I'm out. Do NOT use this company.

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.

Nathaniel did a good job. Thank you. However, I think anticipating rain delayed the service. I think the job should have been done sooner. At the end of the day my lawn was done well and I would recommend Lawn Starter to others.
