Happy customers all over Durham

Photo of Monica N.'s yard after getting lawn care in Durham, NC
Looking at a yard that’s overgrown and out of control is honestly a bit depressing—and definitely not a good look! Mayra did an excellent job mowing my lawn. She completely transformed it—it now looks professionally done. She was thorough, efficient, and paid great attention to detail. She was also right on time. Everything looks neat and well cared for. I’m extremely happy and highly recommend her services.

I’ve been happy with this lawn mowing service. They show up when they say they will, the cut looks even, and the edges are tidied up nicely. Nothing flashy, just consistent, reliable work at a fair price. They’re easy to communicate with and respectful of the property. If you’re looking for someone dependable to keep your yard looking neat, they’re a solid choice. Would recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Lawn Service! I couldn’t be happier with the work done on my corner lot. The mowing was clean and even, the edging was neat, and the whole yard looked noticeably better right away. What really impressed me was the attention to detail—after finishing the job, they took the time to offer helpful recommendations for keeping the lawn healthier and easier to maintain. Highly recommend!

Easy, Affordable Lawn Care Services in Durham

Durham is home to Duke University, one of the most prestigious universities in the world. In fact, we ranked Sarah P Duke gardens as one of the best-landscaped colleges on the east coast. Durham also offers great nightlife, wonderful beer, and southern cuisine.

One thing’s for sure: you shouldn’t worry about your lawn when there’s so much to enjoy. LawnStarter's pros will treat your lawn to keep it green and healthy. Need landscaping or lawn aeration done? We do that too.

Common Grass Types in Durham: The top five most common grass types in Durham are Bermudagrass, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, Zoysiagrass, and Kentucky bluegrass.

Spring Lawn Care Tips for Durham: Tune up your lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and hedge trimmers. Clean your yard of debris, including branches, twigs, pet waste, and leaves. Make sure your soil is healthy by aerating it, removing weeds, and carefully fertilizing it.

Fall Lawn Care Tips for Durham: Don’t fertilize, as grass should only be fertilized when it's actively growing, and the grass goes dormant before the winter season. For the same reason, don’t water your lawn. Some weeds, like Florida betony and wild onion, grow in the winter, so be sure to check your garden for weeds.

Common Lawn Pests: Grubs, sod webworms, cutworms, ants, ticks, aphids, mole crickets, spittlebugs, and chinch bugs are the pests you need to watch out for in your Durham lawn.

Common Lawn Diseases: Dollar spot, brown patch, large patch, and fairy ring cause discoloration in your lawn. If you notice any areas of your lawn that are turning brown or yellow, treat them right away. And if you need a hand, our pros will identify and treat the lawn disease for you.

How LawnStarter Can Take Care of Your Lawn: In addition to landscaping, lawn aeration, and mowing, we offer cleanups, fertilization, mulching, pool cleaning, and patio work.

Durham is one of the nation’s fastest-growing college towns with lots to do. So go out and enjoy what Durham has to offer. Don’t worry about the lawn; just call, click, or download our app, and we’ll take it from there.

Earlene B.'s grass cutting service result
Brian was very polite upon his arrival. He properly introduced himself and I walked around with him and showed him the yard and he said well I’ll get busy. He was very good very nice and I would recommend him for sure. He worked really hard mowing,weed eating, blowing off the mowed grass from his he driveway, porch and walkway. Bless his heart, he got hot so I offered him a bottle of cold water, which he was most appreciative

Joan P.'s turf maintenance service result
Christian did a great job! He listened respectfully to my request and followed through. I tipped him personally, not through lawn starter because my grass was longer than usual and I knew it would take longer to receive money through the website. I was especially thankful he had a mower with a bag to catch the long clippings. He didn’t want anything for his extra effort but I wanted to make sure he received my appreciation immediately. I would definitely hire him again.

The line was very well cut, it really made the appearance of the house significantly improved. They also picked up their clippings, and the edging looked great also. I appreciated the timeliness of the service, and the price is fantastic for the value. I will absolutely be using these guys again for my lawn care, and appreciate that they take that extra chore/hassle off my plate while also keeping my house looking good!

Jason and his team member (sorry can't remember name, Couch) did an exceptional job!! They were not aware of property size and showed up with two push mowers, definitely takes zero turn, but these two were committed, detailed, thoughtful and mindful not to get clippings in koi pond! After the huge project, they still made sure to edge and blow surfaces, so everything looked perfect! They ended making sure i was happy; exceptional job gentlemen!! Thank you!

Charles is the kind of landscaper you wish you found years ago. He’s consistent, professional, and takes pride in his work — even if it’s “just mowing the lawn,” he treats it like a craft. My yard has never looked sharper. He’s quick, clean, and dependable, and I never have to second-guess whether the job will be done right. Highly recommend him if you want your yard looking fresh and taken care of without any hassle.

Clean Green Lawn Care

"Honestly, I was really impressed with the job these three guys did on my lawn. They showed up on time and got straight to work—no standing around or wasting time. You could tell right away they knew what they were doing. What I liked most was how they worked together. It wasn’t just three people doing the same thing—they each had a role. One guy handled most of the mowing, another took care of trimming the edges and getting around the fence and tight spots, and the third cleaned everything up with a blower. Because of that, the whole job got done way faster than I expected. Even though they worked quickly, they didn’t rush in a sloppy way. The grass was cut evenly, and I didn’t notice any missed spots, which honestly happens a lot with other services. The edges looked clean and sharp, especially along the driveway and sidewalk, and they were careful around my plants and trees. Nothing got damaged, which I definitely appreciate. They also did a solid job cleaning up after themselves."

"Mayra always does a great job on my lawn. Very responsive, tidy and consistent. I like that I can rely on him to come and complete my service well no matter if I’m in town or not. He also did some work to cut back trees and limbs along the side of my house. Excellent work and he did a great job clearing the debris away. Completely hauled away everything and cut out items that I didn’t know needed to be done."

"Great work as usual. The crew did a fabulous job cleaning up the areas needed and removed debris from tree branches. I think the even cutting every two weeks is making a difference with the ongoing drought."
