"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!
