I believe this company is a scam and I will be canceling as soon as possible. Honestly I feel like an attorney needs to be getting involved at this point because it’s absolutely unacceptable to force customers into 3 services because of “how good” you are when your crew can’t even show up on scheduled days or even worse will send notifications that they’re on the way and still don’t even show up. But yet the management won’t give discounts for service issues AND I can’t cancel until I’ve had 3 services even though I never signed an agreement for that?? Horrible business management, horrible service providers, and horrible communication. Stay far far far away from this business.
We tried this service and they came out and messed our yard up so horribly. We sent a picture thru their website. They sent someone else out to "correct" it and ran the lawnmower over the yard with the blade on high so the yard was still as unevenly cut and grass clippings was still all over the yard. I called to cancel their Rep. Chris tells me that they have a 3 cut minimum so they had the gaul to say they were coming back this week. I cant cancel until this 3 cut minimum is done. That I had NO IDEA about.I told him if he does I will call the law on them.
My initial experience wasn't good, but Megan Harris worked tirelessly to find me another contractor. He did a really good job on my yard. Thanks Megan for "turning my frown upside down."
Great in theory. This company contracts 3rd party service providers to come out and mow your lawn and they do all the leg work for finding, and scheduling the service. Customer service, when I have called in, has always been fantastic. The poor review comes from the lack of quality in service providers. I have had 8 services cancelled in the last month (June) My backyard is out of control after a month of being pushed out. I do not want to give up on them, but after this many chances, I need to make sure that my lawn gets done on schedule. Hopefully in the future they implement (if they have not already) a system that will count against providers if they “no show” a stop. That way, they are held responsible for completing stops on their schedule.
Our service was delayed and rescheduled several times; each time, we were assured that the lawn care would occur the following day, and we came to find out we’d been scheduled with teams for days they were not even open for business. Our service was never completed.
My husband chose this service to get our lawn done. Last week we were told they would be at our house on Tuesday, I had to cancel my appointment for them to never show up. They promised to have our yard done by Friday. That never happened. We were told they had to find a whole new crew because the crew that was supposed to come was taking people's money but not cutting yards. We got in contact with them on Wednesday and they swore they would have someone out by this Friday. Well today is Thursday and they came out. The backyard looks decent and the front yard, shoddily done. Bonus round they want to charge us for long grass, but hear us out... we were told you would be here LAST week. Definitely do not recommend.
1. I canceled my service a week before they came out. So no one should have showed up. 2. Yard was too wet to be cut. 3. Spots all over the yard didn’t get cut. 4. No edges were done. 5. I even sent a message to the crew to not cut since I canceled my services 6. They took payment from my account and weren’t authorized to do so.
This has been the worst experience I ever had in my life. This was my 1st and final cut. Paid for yard to be cut,edge, flower bed to be weeded and bushes trimmed. He trimmed the bushes and left the trimming in my flower bed and never came back to clean out the flower bed. My yard looks like my 8 year old cut it.Run away!
Do not need at this time. CANCEL NOW
They show up when theyre supposed to and the price is very reasonable. Most importantly, they do a great job..........
They do a good job , but I have messaged twice to mow the area in my back yard that used to be a garden and they still haven t mowed it.
LawnStarter do very good yard Service & They want you to be Completely Satisfy with their Service & Im definitely Satisfied!!
No one ever came to cut my grass. They kept pushing my date back, and I couldnt even get a refund. I wasnt able to talk to a real person, just text a fake computer. You all should be awear of this scam
Im not one to normally complain or post complaints but these guys earned it. I signed up for their service to cut my lawn every two weeks. They gave me a four day window 3 days after I signed up. No one ever showed to cut the lawn. I called and spoke with customer service. Was told someone would email to let me know when the person would be out. Never heard back. Not sure how these people are still in business. Would never use.
The absolute worst and unprofessional company to get service from.
Very professional and courteous.
Adrian works fast and professionally.
Updating for this year. The company rescheduled us for a week and a half through three or four different providers. The provider that came just now did such a horrid job on the lawn. If it wasn t for our property security cameras, I would not have known what he did, or how he did it. He use a trimmer to cut my entire lawn soo you can imagine how bad it looks. The lawn looks horrible.
This is the absolute WORST company! They say theyll cut your grass and send a team, but no one shows up. You call their customer service - which is HORRIBLE - and they say theyll credit your account AFTER demanding a manager repeatedly and being told that theyre busy. I spent 2 HOURS on the phone with service one day. Thought that after this they would be ok. THEY WERENT! If someone did show, theyd only do half the lawn and then charge you a high grass fee even though the reason its high is because they never came out!!! Just the absolute worst. Dont do it!! BTW I also never saw a single credit...
Absolutely the worst experience. First they make you have 3 cuts, not just 1. Then they drag it out for 3 months. They dont cut grass low enough. Then charge double for it being tall. Worst communication. Then had the gawl to try & charge me & cut my grass a fourth time. After Ive done nothing but try to get those 3 cuts over so I didnt have to deal with the company anymore. And its never the same person who cuts Ur grass so they arent learning anything about how it should be done.
lawn mowing was for most part great with just 1 or 2 spots that got missed. But basic job was fine and I am happy.
Robert with LawnStarter consistently provides great service and work!!
I used to mow my yard for 25+ years and its real nice to have a pro do it. You Dudes Rock!!!
Cut half the yard. Didn t edge. Left grass all over sidewalk, driveway, side of the house, and in the chain link fence. Left the gate open to the fence. Scheduled for someone else to come out and fix the yard, canceled, rescheduled, and no one ever showed up. Yard looks worse than before it was cut. Wouldn t recommend to my enemy.
Terrific job with both my lawn maintenance and bush trimming.
Good deal
I was really sad to cancel service before it got started because of your crew not showing up & if I could have waited for another crew/another appointment I would have but my situation was urgent, but once I got Zaitha, your customer service rep, she was so understanding & seemed genuinely apologetic because of what happened til I almost kept your service! In todays time kindness, professionalism & just grand customer service has become a rare quality that hardly exist anymore. Im thankful to have had her assist me with my issue. WTG Zaitha. Shes a keeper LAWN STARTER!
WARNING DO NOT USE THIS THIRD PARTY LAWN MOWING SERVICE. THEY RECRUIT LAWN MOWING BUSINESSES IN THE AREA AND I HAVE HAD 4 DIFFERENT ONES QUIT ON ME IN 2 MONTHS AND EVERYTHING IS DONE THROUGH AN APP (NOT VERY PERSONAL - IVE NEVER SPOKEN TO ANY OF THEM). IM STILL WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MOW MY LAWN AND ITS BEEN 5 WEEKS! THE BUSINESSES GET TO DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO TAKE YOU ON AS A CUSTOMER...SO IM STILL WAITING AND MY LAWN IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE EVEN AFTER IVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES....ALL THEY DO IS JUST APOLOGIZE...THATS NOT HELPING ME. IF I COULD FIND A LOCAL COMPANY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON I WOULD CANCEL THIS SERVICE. ALSO, THEY GIVE DISCOUNTS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS TO GIVE POSITIVE REVIEWS...SO BE WARNED. ITS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS. 6/16/21 - In response to LawnStarter...Ive heard this before from your company.
Always on time and does an amazing job
They overcharge while doing an incomplete job
Great job guys! Keep up the good work.
The so called service they provided was awful She claimed I was supposed to get 3 cuts but on the 3rd no one showed no one told me anything. I wished they had told me a head of time so I couldve hired someone else. They left my gate open the first and half cut dont recommend them
They want to cut your yard before any service even if it is already cut and edged
No one showed up in the two day window THEY PROVIDED. I could have made other arrangements. No call or email, I cancelled the account all together.
We re still waiting for the first appointment. We ve been rescheduled twice and we were told someone would be out yesterday. Yesterday came and went and our yard is out of hand. Now we ll have to pay double that to have someone cut it
Ripped off & rude! They will find every excuse to charge you more, could be triple than what they offered. This and lawnlove are the same company
Never got the same pros. Always had to cancel & reschedule services. Last pros sent to do yard work were very unprofessional and did a awful job and after agreeing to give ma a partial credit they found a way to recoup the money by charging me a long grass length fee that was not true at all. I disputed the charge. They never got back with me. Very unprofessional. Do not use them.
I really like the way that their system responds in email and phone text to make lawn care in Midtown a relatively easy and painless process. Of course, it is with men like Jerome who cuts our grass like clockwork that makes everything fit together. Hes strong and fit and does what he does fast and efficiently. I really like the services and they are reasonably priced.
My yard was cut just the way I like.
This company is a joke continuously rescheduled and canceled my appointment. The so called crew never showed ,but then marked the job as commercial property a complete waste of time. Save yourself the stress and look elsewhere.
I receive excellent service from my crew. I am very appreciative of them and all that they do.
Worst lawn service in Memphis. They email you saying theyre coming and never show up to cut. Take your hard earned money and run to a more professional lawn care service.
The crews dont come for scheduled cuts and when you call customer service to reschedule all they do is tell you to contact the crew. Then if your cuts get delayed long enough the crew upcharges 3x the mowing fee saying its long grass even though it only got long because they didnt come when scheduled. Never again
Bad service never got my grass cut cause that all way reschedule 3 time just bad business
They just randomly stopped coming with no notice. When they would come they would never come on the day they said they d be there.
Been waiting for a scheduled visit that was suppose to take place Wednesday ..no one showed or called then it was Thursday no one showed or called then it was Friday same thing..they said Monday or Tuesday I cancelled my services . Very unprofessional I would not recommend this place to anyone
I waited for about 2 weeks for my first crew to come, then I got tossed to another crew which took another 2 weeks to finish my grass. Then, I got charged an extra long grass fee because it took them so long to come. All in all, I was quoted at $50/cut and ended up having to pay $465. I called and told them the situation and they knocked the price down to $235. So I guess I was lucky to pay almost 5x the quoted amount?
My lawn guy Jerome in midtown Memphis TN with lawn starter has done a great job all season! :)
I hired LawnStarter to care for the lawn at my daughters house, Fall of 2020. They started off as champions. They were affordable, timely, and provided quality service. If I had written this review a few month months ago, it would have been 5 stars. However time showed me who this business is. I contacted them about leaf removal earlier this month, my experience changed. I was scheduled for a date, and that date would come a go and the leaves remained. On the day a crew did arrive, the bid for removal changed from $89.00 to over $200.00. I was told that a new crew would be assigned to me, and they would honor the original bid. Well, after a week of promises and failed appointments, we still have leaves. I called on more than one occasion and left my number for a return call. I would have appreciated a called; but it never came. As of the time of this writing I am disappointed and have lost confidence in Lawnstarters ability to do this job. In dont know what happened to them. They were great; but today they just make promises about work that doesnt happen. I am still rooting for them, and hope that they improve their business model. However, I am not longer a customer. I wish them well.
I got this service off of nextdoor neighbor.com. First time receiving this service. Horrible service! They don t return phone calls, put you on hold for about an hour. The service they I received wasn t definitely to my satisfaction! Not only did they do a horrible job, but they didn t come back like promise. They left grass uncut, edging incomplete, and left gate open. Run, Run, Run !!!!
I got tired of dealing with trying to find reliable lawn care service and found them from a Google search. Ive been using the service over a year now and its so easy and hassle free and my lawn crew does a great job every time. Will definitely recommend!!!
The first service was fine everything was good but the crew never for the second. My mom, 2 aunts 4 sisters and 3 cousins started with them because of me now i told them to cancel their services and we are no longer using them for our lawn care. The communication with this company is terrible!!!!!! No one ever answered and in emails i just got different date changes but no one STILL never showed. My grass is ridiculously high and now i have to pay more. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!! They are NOT reliable AT ALL!!!!!! They lost a lot of customers just from my family alone... im glad i didn t begin to tell friends sign ...THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! RUN RUN RUN
They did not show up at the time that they said they would. My grass is very uneven. It looks like they cut it with their eyes closed. I would NOT recommend them to anyone. Extremely unprofessional.
Somebody came out to cut my grass and broke my storm door glass he was not going to tell me . I caught them on my ring door bell. I can t get in contact with LawnStarters to get my door fixed. I had to pick up the broken glass and cut my leg . If I don t here from them soon . I will call a lawyer .
Almost andhour and 30 minutes Im holding no one came to the phone
The people who showed up at house looked as if they were homeless people that had stolen their equipment. No one is bonded. It is a different person every time. They like to just mow the front yard and move on. They like to burn holes in the yard with trimmers. Their edging is atrocious. If I were to design a service that set people up to get their houses robbed, it would be this.
Very expensive.
LawnStarter does fast, efficient, and quality work for us. We barely even notice Brandon is here before he is gone
Fast, reliable and professional service! My yard ALWAYS looks amazing every time and the app is so easy to use! You can cancel or reschedule any time and there is never any penalty for either! I highly recommend you at least try the service!
Dependable and my lawn always looks great!
Easy to sign up, several of the lawn partners would reschedule then not show, also they would report that service was completed and service was never completed.
Canceled this service due them changing my cutting frequency to weekly without my knowledge.
Not quality work.
I did not even get to use a full service from this company. They give a 2 day window on when the crew is suppose to arrive which they cannot even make that. I was placed on schedule for yesterday and today, well no one shows up! I placed a call back to speak with a rep and she stated it looked like the guy that was suppose to come out did not go to any of his calls today. As a new customer, it left a horrible taste in my mouth. Why bother with a company who doesn t call or give common courtesy to a NEW customer that something happens and no one will be out today. Yet they ask you to write a good review on Nextdoor to get $10-30 off?
Great service to us to help small businesses get work.
Always does a great Job
I ve used them for over two years now. I had two excellent teams. Both quit on me. The last one I wasn t even informed of. Tried contacting my team and the conversation between us had been archived. Called to ask why and the very sweet rep couldn t even tell me why. I m supposed to get a new team sometime this week. In the meantime my grass is growing inches and looks awful
My grass was cut way too low. My lawn went from lush green to brown
OMG this was nightmare...beyond unprofessional, credit card charged abusively, damages to the property. Be aware of this company!
The worst company weve ever hired. Absolutely do not recommend.
DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. THEY HIDE HOW TO CANCEL. THEY CUT MY YARD WITHOUT PERMISSION AND CHARGED MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT PERMISSION
My Lawn Care provider Randell with Lawnstarter is GREAT He services my lawn well, is very professional and communicates in a timely manner! I would definitely recommend
I love the service they provide and the workers are very helpfull at letting you know what need to be done when your not around to judge there work. They will send you pictures of the property which I appreciate very much cuz I was not able to be there. And the business is very trustworthy.
I have had a great experience since I have been with lawnstarter, they are very dependable, and does a great job on my lawn each and every time.its one less thing that I have to worry about with the busy work schedule that I have. THANKS LAWNSTARTER
So far so good this is my second cut. Both times they were on time and did a thorough job. Got charged an extra $20 for y all grass which was no problem. Definitely didn t mind paying the extra tall grass fee since the 1st cut was $19. Grass was definitely taller than it should have been so I deserved the xtra charge. Overall good quality, and good value. Looking forward to my next cut.
Kyle and his crew come like clockwork every week!! If I ever have a question Kyle is always very quick to answer my messages. Highly highly recommend them.
Richard Barnes at LawnStarter is amazing!! Hes professional and if something comes up like inclement weather, he is quick to communicate.
This is his first cut on my law on my lawn and he really did good job. He neatly manicured, edge and cleaned the grass clippings. I hope he will come back to service it again.
First time using them and I was terribly disappointed. $195 for cleanup service and I dont know what the hell they cleaned up because leaves were still present and weeds were still in the flower beds. They did a poor job on edging as well. To top it off I canceled my services only to find out that I was still obligated for 3 more cuts.
Lawn Starter is a great service. After two cuts they have arrived when they said they would. They promote good communication which is a big plus
This is my first time using LawnStarter and my last time .They arrived on my property July 8th at 8:pm. It was already dark they finished at 8:30pm. I looked out my window at night to see if the grass was cut and it was.On Saturday the 11th my son came over to cut my hedges and he saw how they had chopped up my grass,no edging was done , I have a corner lot my son said that a riding now was used ,which caused damage to my yard I filed a complaint but they refuse to acknowledge what happened to my yard.They were scheduled to come back and edge my yard that was rescheduled 2 times ,now they want to give me $15 and not fix the problem.Who does business like this. I have filed a complaint with the BBB in Memphis.Waiting on a response.I am very disappointed with this company
The crew that was sent to my house was professional and friendly. They were on time and did a fantastic job on my lawn. The Customer Service representatives were also able to answer all my questions and were also professional, courteous and friendly. This is a great service for people who need someone to mow the lawn and the cost and value are extraordinary!
Great communication by the Pros and perfect edging work. Great attention to detail with these guys.
Lawnstarter is a great platform. I like that they factor in long grass claims. As well as its optional for additional upsell work.
Great place to do business with. I highly recommend them.
The company is hit or miss. Ive only used them 3 times and only 1 company did a great job. Watch out tho certain mowing companies will wreck your yard (missed mowes spots, missed edged spots, huge chunks of yard if they dont think its your yard)
This company was a hot mess. Never did lawn care on time and would frequently reschedule at the last minute. Crew was frequently reassigned and my lawn care was often performed late. My final straw was when they lied and said they couldnt cut my lawn due to not being able to get in my security gate...zinger is, I DO NOT LIVE IN A GATED COMMUNITY! They left and did not cut grass and rescheduled me for 2+ weeks later which would leave my yard overgrown. I resorted to having a neighbor cut my grass. Unacceptable. Would not recommend. At all..
Set up to have my lawn mowed, crew never showed, called and asked what s up? They rescheduled a new top-tier crew who also never showed up. 11 days have gone by and they have yet to get a single task accomplished, I m over it and called to officially break/cancel my contract.
Horribleeeee service be careful using them
They never show up. They kept changing my appointment.I an very unsatisfied. I dont think I will tell my friends and family
Horrible business! Don t use them! The crew was supposed to be here four weeks ago and they kept rescheduling. They are NO GOOD!!! Scammers I say
They do a fine job with the yard but they took THREE payments out on one day for work, $47, $47, $49. Needless to say I will NEVER use the thieves ever again. I brought it to their attention and it was crickets.
We have had a good experience with LawnStarter- Daniel our lawn guy and his brother do a great job!
They did not fulfill their obligations of lawn service agreements. The service kept being delayed until the grass was 6-8 inches tall. When I contacted them about no shows, I did not want to be charged for Tall Grass fee I was advised I would HAVE TO CALL BACK after the mow to receive a credit. They were still looking for a crew to substitute the missing crew. No available lawn crews came. I fired this service, I was billed for 2 no show services. Now they want me to provide proof they didnt mow. Well Lawnstarter, I hired a local lawn service that came the day your crew said they arrived to mow. Liars and Fraud is you game! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY
Very convenient service. Highly recommend.
My yard looks amazing!
Didnt call back never spoke to a real person
I am grateful I have found a reliable service that fits the budgeting of a working mom. Joseph has been excellent!
Chadric has taken care of my lawn for a month. He is there on time and always does a great job! I was paying higher rates before and the guy always wanted more money and never showed up when he said he would. I really appreciate this LawnStarter. I do not have to worry about it any longer.
Its a different person every time it seems like, but so far all have done a great job!
Demi is a nice young lady. Sevice is great
Great lawn care and so convenient. I like the fact that I have the same person caring for my lawn. Terrance does a great job.
Great service and a decent price
I m a fairly new customer and Robert has made me very happy with his work since I switched from another company. So far it has been great and I appreciate the promptness and just good work that s being done.
Super convenient to use. It is nice being able to always have someone to contact, as well as having all transactions completed using the app. Work is done professionally and for a great price. Devin did a great job getting my lawn in shape for the summer.
They always show up and keep my yard looking great.
Just singed up Monday night, yeah two days ago and all ready will be done with five new clients by the end of Wednesday the same week. More lined up for Thursday and Friday. I literally went to bed with six yards and woke up to ten. As well the messages are constantly pouring in. Best move Ive made
Overall its good. You can have your flow of income definitely!! Job offers do come in everyday, most times all day. Gave 3 stars because not enough pay is offered on some jobs. You have some people that will lie about there yard an it be either overgrown or bigger the what was in the description. Now since you have to go through all kinds of stuff to get the right compensation for the job, they will cancel because they wants to pay what they was quoted at first. Lost customer, time, an gas. I feel Lawn Starter should explain to them before sending us to them. Some type of fee should be in place. Corner lots should always have an up charge because of all the edging that comes with it. FACTS!!!!!!
I am very pleased with this service a great and easy way to get lawn service !
I have had issue after issue with my backyard not getting cut! Then when they say theyll come fix it, they never did. Definitely going with someone else for next season.
No one showed again. Service was rescheduled 3 times by provider. I canceled the leaf removal.
Been using lawnstarter for about a year now. The team that mows my lawn always does a great job and tend to go the extra mile. Did a really good job trimming the shrubs in my front yard as well.
Willie was great and was attentive to what I was specifically looking for. LawnStarter is the way to go.
Odilio was professional and thorough
