My first cut with Lawn starter.
My first cut with Lawn starter.
He came early ,grass was cut at desired height.
Edging could have been better.
Some clippings could have been blown away.
Overall it was a good first cut.

Terrible Service
Lawnstarter just sources random people to mow your yard. We have had every single appointment rescheduled several times. Our lawn has looked terrible and the grass has been very long the whole time we have used Lawnstarter. We just finally had the rescheduled service done today and it is so bad it needs to be mowed again already. He just flattened down all of the long grass with a very old mower. They sent out a guy that came in a tiny car, had all of his equipment stuffed in the back. He flew into our neighborhood and sat halfway out of his car to finish his cigarette and looked extremely hungover. He just flatted down the long grass and clippings are all over. Pathetic excuse for a service.

Samuel is awesome
Samuel is super fast, efficient and always on time. My yard is a bit of a mess, a lot of weeds and chaos but he handles it like it’s nothing. Highly recommended!

Great, easy service
We are new in town and renting a larger yard, so to have someone come in and work around utilities that haven’t been buried was great. Thanks!

Akee and Crew are lifesavers!
Akee and his crew person were very professional young men. Their quote was fair and reasonable. They went above and beyond on my yardwhich was a horrible mess, even moving leftover bricks from previous tenants landscaping attempt…The crew took their time and stayed until the job was complete and explained the process to me as far as how Lawn Starter works. I look forward to continuing services with Akee and Lawn Starter.

Tiffany did a great job on mowing my front lawn. I forgot to unlock the gate, so she couldn’t access the back yard. She was very efficient in her abilities.

Toni and team were wonderful!
Toni and team were wonderful. The response time was great. The time the entire service took was incredible especially considering how long the grass was and how nice it looks now. 10/10! I’m very grateful to have found lawn starter.

Good service
Daniel did a great job in handling my yard, this is a new neighborhood and some lots are still under construction. Daniel not just mowed the lawn, trimmed the yard and cleaned the patio, but also cleaned the small trashes from construction next to my house. He also communicated actively to work out a friendly schedule. Thanks for the service!
