Our rating: 4.1 / 5
Lawn Love makes lawn care easy. That ease-of-use identity still shapes everything about the lawn care provider – the quote is instant, the booking process is fast, and the service menu now covers far more than mowing.
Worth noting: Lawn Love is the only BBB-accredited Big 3 lawn mowing provider and has an A+ rating at the time of this writing.
Lawn Love customer reviews, though, often paint a less rosy picture. Things get less easy when something goes wrong.
How Lawn Love Works
Booking Lawn Love’s services is easy. Create a free account online, download the Lawn Love app, or call Customer Service at (800) 706-4117.
Lawn Love uses satellite mapping to calculate your property’s lawn mowing area from your address – no measuring required on your part and no waiting for an in-person estimate.
How to Order Lawn Love Services in 4 Steps
- Enter your address to get an instant, custom quote.
- Choose your service frequency – weekly or biweekly (or monthly during winter months).
- Get matched with an insured, background-checked lawn care provider in your area.
- Pay after the job, with a satisfaction guarantee on every visit.
Lawn Love Services
Lawn Love now offers a full range of nearly 20 outdoor services including:
- Lawn mowing (weekly, biweekly, monthly)
- Bush and hedge trimming
- Lawn fertilization
- Weed control and pre-emergent treatment
- Aeration and/or overseeding
- Yard cleanups
- Leaf removal
- Gutter cleaning
- Mosquito control
- Snow removal (select northern markets — see below)
On snow removal: Lawn Love offered snow removal before it was acquired by LawnStarter in 2021, then it was discontinued. Snow removal returned in limited form at the end of winter 2025–2026 for existing customers in northern markets where providers offer it.
Pricing
Lawn Love generates instant quotes from satellite images and property data – you see a specific price before booking, not a range, not “starting at,” and you don’t have to wait for and review competing bids for your lawn mowing job.
Lawn mowing typical ranges:
| Yard size | Typical range |
| Small (up to 1/4 acre) | $42-$63 |
| Medium (1/4 to 1/2 acre) | $50-$71 |
| Large (1/2 acre to 1 acre) | $58-$118 and up |
Notes:
* Pricing factors include property size, service frequency, and your region.
* Monthly visits cost more per service than biweekly, and biweekly mowing visits cost more than weekly. That is standard in the lawn care industry. Weekly service is best for your grass health and the overall look of your yard.
* A long grass fee is applied if your grass is taller than 9 inches.
Pro Tip: If you enter your address for a Lawn Love mowing quote and then don’t book immediately, you’ll likely get a $19 first mow offer by text. I know because I took Lawn Love’s signup process for a test drive. This is quite a big savings, and Lawn Love doesn’t advertise this $19 first mow offer.
What Lawn Love Does Well
- The booking experience delivers on the promise. “Hire a pro in seconds” and “Lawn Love makes lawn care easy” — those aren’t just marketing claims. Lawn Love’s quote and booking process are simple to use.
- A full menu of outdoor services. Lawn Love’s list of services has grown to over 20 — fertilization, aeration, mosquito control, gutter cleaning, yard cleanups, and seasonal services like leaf cleanup and snow removal (limited availability).
- Background-checked, insured pros. All Lawn Love providers carry our damage coverage, and the vetting process filters out most applicants. The satisfaction guarantee backs every service – if the work isn’t right, Lawn Love will send the pro back or issue a credit.
- Geographic strength in California, the Midwest, and the Northeast. Lawn Love, founded in San Diego, built its original network in California and across upper Midwest cities — Chicago, Minneapolis, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati — and that footprint means more Lawn Love providers work in these cities. More pros means more reliable scheduling.
What Lawn Love Doesn’t Do Well
- When things go wrong, the process can feel slow. Lawn Love’s negative reviews follow a familiar pattern: a no-show, incomplete work, or a damage claim. Those reviews note that customer support can be hard to reach and resolution takes time and patience.
On SmartCustomer, Lawn Love carries a 3.1/5 rating with 44% 1-star reviews, and 55% 5-star reviews. Satisfied customers are very happy with the work, and unsatisfied customers can be very vocal.
Raising a complaint quickly after service gives you the best chance of resolution.
- The quality of lawn care providers varies by city. Your Lawn Love experience depends largely on the lawn care provider you’re matched with and how many Lawn Love pros serve your city.
In cities with a lot of Lawn Love pros, you’re more likely to get a reliable, consistent high-quality lawn mowing experience. In cities with fewer Lawn Love providers, rescheduling and pro substitutions happen more than they should.
- It’s hard to tell Lawn Love and LawnStarter apart. Since its acquisition in 2021, Lawn Love shares backend infrastructure, background-checking standards for providers, and pricing mechanics with LawnStarter.
While the brand messaging is different (Lawn Love emphasizes simplicity and speed), the pluses and minuses of Lawn Love and LawnStarter are similar. The biggest distinguishing factor is that BBB-accreditation for Lawn Love and its A+ rating.
- Snow removal is limited. Snow removal returned as a Lawn Love service in late winter 2025–2026, but availability varies significantly by location. Confirm snow removal is available for your address before factoring it into your decision.
Customer Ratings
| Platform | Rating | Reviews |
| Trustpilot | 4.7/5 | 2,500+ |
| SmartCustomer | 3.1/5 | 88 |
| Apple App Store (Lawn Love app) | 4.7/5 | 4,800+ |
| Google Play (Lawn Love app) | 3.5/5 | 1,200+ |
* The SmartCustomer distribution is stark: 55% five-star, 44% one-star, virtually nothing in between. The Trustpilot numbers reflect a larger review base and skew positive — consistent with satisfied recurring customers. Both together give a more complete picture than either alone.
Lawn Love vs. LawnStarter vs. GreenPal
| Lawn Love | LawnStarter | GreenPal | |
| Services | 20+ services: Lawn mowing and other outdoor services | Lawn mowing and nearly 30 outdoor services | 10 outdoor services including lawn mowing, landscaping, mulch installation, and snow removal |
| Pro vetting | Background check, bonded, and with property damage coverage provided by LawnStarter | Background check, bonded, and with property damage coverage provided by Lawn Love | Varies by the service provider |
| Pricing | Instant, based on satellite image and other factors | Instant, based on satellite image and other factors | Can take a while. Your job is put out for bid, and you choose your provider from a range of prices. |
| Satisfaction guarantee | Yes | Yes | Limited |
| BBB accreditation | Yes | No | No |
| Snow removal | Limited | No | Yes |
| Best for | Easy booking for a full menu of outdoor services. More providers in northern states and California. | Easy booking for nearly 30 outdoor services. More providers in Southern cities, especially Texas and Florida. | Price shoppers willing to vet their service providers. Also, if you want one-time mowing, GreenPal is the only one of these three offering this. |
Note about the BBB: BBB accreditation isn’t automatic; it requires a company to actively pursue it, commit to a complaint resolution process, and meet specific standards. For customers who use the BBB when vetting a service — and many do — Lawn Love is the clear choice.
Note about GreenPal: GreenPal’s bidding model can lead to a lower price. Lawn care providers compete on your job, and the winning bid can come in below Lawn Love’s instant quote, especially for a simple one-time mow. Lawn Love does not offer one-time mows.
The tradeoffs with GreenPal are less thorough background-checking of providers, no comparable satisfaction guarantee, and a service menu limited almost entirely to mowing. Trustpilot ratings for GreenPal (4.28/5) sit below both Lawn Love and LawnStarter.
For homeowners who want more than lawn mowing, or who value knowing their pro is background-checked and their property is covered by damage protection, Lawn Love is the smarter choice.
Who Lawn Love Is Best For
- Anyone who values a fast, easy booking experience above all else.
- Customers who want one site or app for mowing, trimming, and seasonal services.
- Homeowners looking for a full outdoor services relationship, not just grass cutting.
- Homeowners in California, the upper Midwest, or the Northeast seeking reliable, recurring service.
Lawn Love is Not the Best For
- Homeowners in markets with a thin supply of lawn care providers – check availability for your ZIP before committing.
- Anyone hunting the absolute lowest lawn-mowing price.
- Northern homeowners for whom guaranteed snow removal is essential – availability is limited and inconsistent.
FAQs
No contract. Lawn Love requires three mows on signup, but you can cancel recurring service at any time after that.
Satellite imagery and property data determine your yard’s lawn mowing area. You see a specific price at booking with Lawn Love – not a range and not an estimate.
Lawn Love’s satisfaction guarantee covers every service. Flag issues promptly — the resolution process works best when a concern is raised close to the service date.
Yes. Lawn Love offers snow removal in select northern cities but only for existing customers and where lawn care providers offer snow removal in winter. Confirm availability for your address before booking if snow removal is important to you.
Our Verdict
4.1 / 5 — Recommended, with caveats.
Lawn Love delivers on its core promise more consistently than the 1-star reviews suggest. The booking experience is genuinely fast, the service menu is comprehensive, and the geographic depth in California and the Midwest reflects years of real network-building.
Snow removal – limited as it is – remains a differentiator. LawnStarter doesn’t offer it.
Lawn Love’s weaknesses are dispute resolution rewards speed, and pro quality depends on your city.
If you live in a city with many Lawn Love service providers, Lawn Love is an easy recommendation.
