I was charged 122.00 for my grass to be cut they said my grass too long 9 to 15 inches. I canceled it. They offered 15 credit no thank you.

No guarantee of customer satisfaction. 3-cut minimum. LawnStarter's constant upselling on services we never need, including right off the bat in customer support's response to our complaints, is quite annoying. LawnStarter appears to hire cheap labor and to drive further profits from constant upselling to clients, putting pursuits for profit above customer satisfaction.

I am waiting on hold for an hour now to get my money back. 5th time this summer they over charge and steal money out my account FOR SERVICES NEVER RENDERED

When they were first scheduled to come out they canceled do to a family emergency that the worker said that he had. I was told that I would receive weed eating along with the grass cutting package. This was told to me by the associate that I initially spoke with on the phone. That was the only reason I signed up for the services. I inquired about this service when I sent a message to the worker that came out to the house before he came out. He did not correct me and tell me that the service was not included. We spoke with one of the workers when he came out about the weed eating, and again we were not told that it wasn’t included. A 15 dollar credit will not fix the fact that I received a service that I did not want or needed the weed eating service that I needed was not included. That’s what they offered me. Now I’m stuck paying a 150 dollars for a service that I don’t need or want. I’m not pay additional to get the service that I actually want and initially asked for. The grass was already cut before they came out and didn’t need more cutting. The attached photos is what they called a completed job. The received a 157 Spyro clean my gutters and cut my grass which somehow two people were able to do in literally 30 minutes! It takes longer than that to clean gutters. What a ripoff! Now I’m stuck paying for a service that I don’t want or need!

They are crooks. Do a bad job and take extra from your credit card with no hesitation. Gave a promo for sharing and then charged regular price plus promo for grass that was right at 6 inches. Also they charge your card too much in advance so it makes it hard for you to cancel. DO NOT USE.

June 1, 2022

They simply do not show up! They've been postponing my service for almost 2 weeks, and now my grass is incredibly long. They keep saying my upcoming service is between such-and-such dates, but then they never show up and simply reschedule...and then never show up for the new dates. I'm a customer of a few years standing, and I've had this mowing scheduled since last spring, and yet they still keep sending me to the back of the line. Customer service via email is worthless, and you can't get anybody on the phone. Save yourself some grief: do not do business with this company!

I have used them since April but then my service was rescheduled by the company three weeks in a row. I am told to pay double price for them not doing their job or they will cancel the service. I reach out to ask about this and the customer service cancels me. Use at your own risk if you are desperate and willing to pay double when your service is pushed back for weeks.

June 7, 2021

Never showed for over a week. They cancelled 2 times on me before my first cut. Now I cancelled the service and it says they will finish the 3 cut minimum. Now they will try to charge me a height charge of over 12" due to them not showing up. I highly recommend avoiding this service at least in Oak Creek, WI.

I always get notified what day Im getting my lawn cut. There was a time they ran late due to weather and they let me know ASAP so they would be able to reschedule

January 24, 2023

This company is the worst! Kept giving me the run around on when they could come out. When they finally came out they did not cut my lawn and sent me a quote that was $100 higher than the original. The service provider never got out of his truck and talked to me or came to my door. Please DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!

It has been awful as of late. LawnStarter kept rescheduling from May 22nd. Its now Jun 8th. I had previously contacted them to see why they had not been coming out. I told them my grass is getting long because they have not been out to cut it. I told them i dont want them charging me a long grass fee due to them rescheduling me. They are supposed to come weekly. This is the growing season. My grass is now a foot long and laying down! I contacted them again and they told me I had the service skipped the 4th which is not true. I did not talk to lawnstarter or go on the app to skip service. They should have at least had someone out yesterday 7th when they said they would. But, they sent another message saying some one will be out on the 11th. They should have someone come tomorrow the 9th. I am fined by the City if my grass is not cut and is over a certain length. Will lawnstarter pay the city fine? If I could post the photos I would. They previous had damaged my window well covers and did not edge the complete lawn. I gave them the benefit of the doubt. But these signs tells me I should look for another service.

Horrible company! No communication about when they will arrive, they expect you to keep your property unlocked for two full days instead of telling you when they will be there. No resolution to service issues and no respect for your time. Absolutely awful. Do not use!

I was in a tight spot needing a mowing service and I find LawnStarter by googling. Not only were they able to add me as a customer with such short notice, they came two days earlier than I expected. I have been pleased with the service and the fact that I can use a app to communicate about and manage my account. Thank you LawnStarter, you ROCK!

January 24, 2022

DO NOT USE LAWNSTARTER! ! I hired them to cut my grass and they showed up the first two times and were supposed to come on 5/24, but sent a message stating they had equipment issues and would come 5/27. I received another message stating that because it was supposed to rain they would be here 5/29. They never showed. I sent two messages with no response. I called customer service and they said l would try to get someone out to me and no one came. I have since sent three more messages with no response. Terrible to work with!

Your grass is cut according to what crew you happen to get. Some weeks done professionally others the crew seems to be very lazy.

WARNING They charge for services not rendered. So dont let them keep Credit card info, for recurring services. I got services done twice. On the 2nd time I tried to cancel for the rest of the year. I didnt make it on time. That was fine, I paid for the services rendered. The same day I tried to cancel the 2nd service. I cancelled services for the rest of the year. So about 2 weeks later, to my surprise my card was trying to be charged for services they did on the same day(their policy is to collect payment for services 3 days after service). I immediately messaged them , that this is FRAUD, I cancelled services weeks ago. They then send a message saying they didnt cut grass and they will reschedule. When messaged them I told them to take CREDIT CARD information out. On app it was removed. A couple of days go by, they message me saying they are going to take out taxes they forgot to take out(for the fake grass cutting) I said I caught you in another lie. So you kept my Credit card information? Next message said, please update your credit card information. WARNING

Not honest about the services they offer. Their site offers 1 time mow, but after you give them your information and accept a call they tell you they dont do one time mows.

THE CREW DIDNT SHOW UP ON THE FIRST 2 APPT. TOO CUT !! AFTER I CALLED TO SEE WHY, I WAS TOLD IT WAS MARKED AS COMPLETED ...ARRIVAL TIME 2, FINISH TIME 2:18 HMMMMM I WAS CHARGED 110. AND MY NEW COMPANY REASONABLE LAWN CARE CUT IT IN THE MORNING LAST WEEK AND LAWNSTARTER CAME IN THE AFTERNOON AND WAS STARTING TO MOW ( AFTER I HAD ALREADY QUIT THEM) WE ASKED WHY WOULD YOU MOW A MOWED LAWN ??? HE SAID WELL I WAS GONNA DO A PATTERN BECAUSE YOU WERE ALREADY CHARGED FOR THIS CUT. ONCE THEY HAVE YOUR BANK INFO ITS IMMPOSSIBLE TO STOP THEM.

They did a terrible job mowing our lawn. They just mowed right over our flower beds even though we asked them not to touch the beds. I really hope our flowers grow back alright next year. We have a patio with spaced stones and grass growing between them. They didnt move our patio furniture to do the grass underneath it. They just mowed the part they could see. We will not be using them again.

January 24, 2021

Inconsistent service. I went 3 weeks being cancelled. They would say they were coming and then not show up. Bad service, poor communication. Not worth the frustration. I guess it s better to just do it yourself than use this company.

Absolutely delighted to have stuck with LawnStarter as unfortunately my initial experience was less than stellar and although it took a few weeks to get properly paired with a provider of the quality and capabilities that I needed, it was worth the wait, frustration from my lady and hassle... Like any startup, there are a few bugs to work out but LawnStarter is diligent and customer focused (even though it may seem like a bust initially). I had 2 separate providers that were paired with me and the 1st one was not a good fit as they came ill prepared for my lawn with a basic push mower (he quit 1/5th way through cutting and vanished leaving my yard a mess) the 2nd provider seemed to be much better a fit but then didnt show up on schedule after messaging back and forth and making a time commitment. The 2nd provider then messaged me almost 2hours after they were supposed to be here to tell me that they were not going to make it due to a family emergency. Thats when I was about to call it quits with LawnStarter entirely but decided to submit my experience & frustrations which I did, and then I was almost immediately paired with Domingo and his crew which have now been absolutely amazing from the start! Well worth it all as I guarantee you will not find a better deal or solution than LawnStarter offers, especially when you are properly paired. My wife is happy, I am happy, our dogs are happy, my lawn /yard is very happy and my neighbors are happy too!

First time we hired a lawn service to maintain our lawn and it was a great decision! Originally needed a one time service, but after seeing how wonderful the job was we decided to book weekly maintenance all season. Very professional, on time and saves us a lot of time maintaining our lawn. Highly recommend.

LawnStarter has provided a great solution to my lawn care needs. I am a busy law student, and I dont have the time or the equipment necessary to take care of my yard. I also dont have a lot of money (notice I am a student). LawnStarter is an affordable and quality lawn care service that I am so glad to have discovered. It costs $40 to get the full range of lawn care services, and you can schedule the service for as frequently or infrequently as you want. They also give you some chances to get discounts on your lawn care service.

Jeffrey has done an exceptional job of taking care of my lawn. As a single mom small things like slight improvements in the appearance of the yard will go undone unless someone takes the care to treat it as if its their own. Jeffrey has consistently gone above and beyond the typical mowing without extra charges and suggested services that would be helpful without being prompted. Lawnstarter was a lifesaver for this single mom...I wont use anyone else ever again and it helps support local businesses expand their businesses. Win-Win!!!
