Very helpful in working with some leaves ( I grew up in Maryland). Grateful for the help on the irrigation berms where needed even without as much growth across the front yard. Worked with enthusiasm to my requests. I appreciate that great customer service works with what is preferred. And made it in time before sunset as valuable help.

"Big thanks to Cornelius, who walked into a jungle and left a stately lawn behind. We just moved in and the yard was severely neglected, but after our first mow he has it looking like the cover of a magazine! We really appreciate the care he took, and look forward to continuing our service through Lawnstarter."

"I appreciated Lee’s attention to detail and integrity. He did an amazing job tackling an overgrow flowerbed, cutting the grass, edging the lawn, and cleaning up the debris. He did not take shortcuts but did the work in a thorough manner as if it were his own yard. I went from being self-conscious about the state of my lawn to proud after he whipped it into shape. Thank you for doing a fantastic job, Lee. I appreciate you!"

"Chris with Greenstate is very good at keeping me updated on when the next service is coming up. I’ve been able to call him directly and get a more tailored lawn service specific for my needs and he’s always happy to accommodate me! And most importantly he does a quick thorough job! The only issue has been with this app, they act as a middle man and don’t always communicate my wishes to Chris, but it’s good that his workers wear his phone number in large font on their shirts because I was able to see that thru my ring camera and get a hold of him that way, eliminating the need for LawnStarter middlemanning!"

"I was impressed with the service yesterday because an elderly family member was visiting and has dementia. The family member wanted to sit outdoors during the mowing, and the mower was very observant and caring while doing his job. High five to him on his professionalism and courteous ethics. There are not many people in this world today that show this type of caring and respectful morals, and I certainly recognize it when I see it. Much appreciated!"
