How LawnStarter Works for New Customers
Signing up takes 3 steps: Enter your address for instant pricing, choose a date, and a vetted pro shows up and does the work. You get job updates through the app and before/after photos after each visit.
Every LawnStarter pro is background-screened before joining the platform and must maintain high customer ratings to keep receiving jobs.
If you’re not satisfied, LawnStarter’s Done Right Guarantee covers you. Just let us know within 5 days, and we’ll re-mow or refund your money. Our $2 Million Property Protection Pledge also covers accidental damage. LawnStarter has a 4.7 out of 5.0 rating on Trustpilot.
A few things to know before you book:
- Mowing requires a minimum of 3 visits before you can cancel. This gives your pro enough time to learn your lawn — and gives you a fair chance to see consistent results.
- Non-mowing services like bush trimming, leaf removal, and flower bed weeding can be booked as one-time or recurring services with no commitment.
- Services beyond the 8 standalone (no mowing service required) options are available through your app or website once you’re an active mowing customer. See table below.
