Lawn Love Review: Services, Prices, Pros and Cons

Lawn Love. Most customers absolutely love it. Our Lawn Love review looks at the lawn care company’s services, prices, customer reviews, competitors, and more to help you make a decision.

But first, why is Wikilawn reviewing Lawn Love? We’re sizing up one of the big dogs in the lawn care services space to help you choose your lawn care provider. This review is also a chance for us internally to see how Lawn Love stacks up against Wikilawn.

Our conclusion: Lawn Love is overall a great convenient option if you want mowing and basic services. If you need something like a large landscaping job, it’s probably not for you.

What is Lawn Love?

Lawn Love is one of the major players in the lawn care service space, along with LawnStarter, Wikilawn, and GreenPal. Lawn Love makes it easy to book lawn care services in minutes via its website or by phone. 

In a 2019 interview, Lawn Love founder Jeremy Yamaguchi said he believed San Diego-based Lawn Love could do for yard care what Uber did for ride-sharing – make it fast, accessible and easy.

“Traditionally, consumers have had to wait for a lawn care worker to physically come to their property, offer a quote and schedule the service,” he said. “It can take weeks to get the job done after initial contact was made. We’re excited to be bringing modern lawn care to homeowners.”

How Lawn Love Works

Lawn Love puts a high-tech spin on the normally low-tech business of lawn care and makes comparing quotes and booking a service.

Step 1: From the home page, enter your name, street address, and phone number and click “See price.”

Step 2: Enter your personal and billing information in the form. Select your mowing frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly).

Step 3: Provide details about your property to help Lawn Love match you with the best service provider.

Step 4: Plug in your payment information. Note: Lawn Love accepts only credit or debit card payments. 

Lawn Love Services

Homeowners require more than just quality lawn mowing, gutter cleaning, and leaf removal. Lawn Love provides more than a dozen services to help you maintain your green oasis year-round. 

Here is a look at the main ones:

Yard Services	Weed Services
Lawn Mowing	Weed Control
Edging	Organic Weed Control
Aeration	Pre-emergent Weed Services
Fertilization	Outdoor Services
Seeding	Gutter Cleaning and Installation
Yard Cleanup	Landscaping
Leaf Removal	Landscape Design

Prices for Lawn Care Services

Lawn Love uses local real estate records to calculate the size of your property and then generates a price quote. 

It’s difficult to provide an exact price for mowing services because there are so many variables, but a good range for an average, quarter-acre yard is $29 to $65. That includes edging and blowing grass clippings off patios and walkways.

Sometimes, first-time Lawn Love customers can take advantage of a $19 first-time mowing special. 

Unlike most of its competitors, Lawn Love offers at least some general guidance on what you can expect to pay for certain services. (Of course, your actual price will vary based on your yard size.):

$30 – $50 for bi-weekly mowing and trimming service

$35 – $50 for bi-weekly mowing and periodic fertilization 

$80 – $120 for aeration service

$60 – $150 for leaf cleanup

Worth noting: Lawn Love’s lawn care pros don’t bag grass clippings. They may if you request it, but it’ll probably cost slightly more.

Also worth noting: Lawn Love adds a Long Grass Fee for grass that is between 6 and 12 inches high. This is pretty standard practice in the industry. The Long Grass Fee can be 50% to 100% on top of the basic mowing price.

Prices for Other Outdoor Services

It’s nearly impossible here to quote an average price for each outdoor service because the prices vary depending upon the size of your home or property, the type of work you need done, the region in which you live, and other factors.

How Lawn Love Screens Its Pros

Lawn Love has built in safeguards to protect customers from shoddy work and unreliable contractors. 

• Vetting Process: Lawn Love conducts background checks on pros.
• Bonded and Insured: Lawn Love carries a multimillion-dollar general liability policy.
• Service First: Lawn Love waits three days after your scheduled service before releasing your payment, so you have time to address concerns.
• 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: If you’re not happy, Lawn Love will give you your money back.

Lawn Love User Reviews

User reviews are helpful for assessing customers’ satisfaction, and Lawn Love gets generally high marks from its customers.

• Lawn Love received 4.7 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot and had over 978 reviews at the time of this writing, and 78% of all reviewers awarded the company 5 stars.

• Lawn Love scored 4.5 out of 5 stars on 494 reviews on Reviews.io, and 88% reviewers recommend the company.  

Here is a random sampling of Lawn Love user reviews:

Affordable and Flexible: “My service provider was very professional and friendly. They took the time to do the job right and were on time, affordable, and flexible. I love the different options: weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly. It was the best service I’ve ever had.” – George / Trustpilot

Online Scheduling: “I love Lawn Love’s service. I can conveniently schedule service online, and the pricing is more reasonable than most places. The crews are professional and proficient. I will keep using Lawn Love.” – Christie C. / REVIEWS.io

Unclear Booking Process: “I found Lawn Love on Google. Their online booking was a tad unclear, but the actual service was great! They were super fast. I got a text that they were on the way, and the crew did a fantastic job.” – Kristen / Trustpilot

Disappointed: “I was hoping with the mowing and maintenance and trimming that the yellow flowers would be trimmed in the front but, that wasn’t done or anything in the front. The backyard grass was uneven so I was hoping it would be an even cut but, now I have uneven low grass with bald spots.” – Priscilla / Trustpilot

Conclusion: Lawn Love? Why not Wikilawn? 

Sure, we’ve just given you the high points and the lowdown on Lawn Love, but you’re on the Wikilawn website. We’re the little lawn care site that could. We’re Avis. We try harder (and we succeed). 

Book your lawn care through Wikilawn and you’ll be connected to one of the best lawn care pros near you. Let me repeat that. You’ll get one of the best lawn care pros near you – not the best Lawn Love pro near you. 

Here’s what you get with Wikilawn:

More Pros: Wikilawn casts a bigger net to match you with the right lawn care pro for your job. LawnStarter, Lawn Love, and service providers like HomeAdvisor/Angi and Networx can bid on your job.

Maybe a Lower Price: Your lawn care may cost less too. More pros (more bidders) often leads to lower prices as they compete for your business. Of course, the price quotes you get back will depend upon the kind of work you want done, the size of your yard, and other factors.

Easy to Use: Lawn Love makes lawn care easy (just like Wikilawn).

So with Lawn Love, will you love it or leave it? That’s up to you.

Of course, you could just use Wikilawn to find your next lawn care pro. You’re already here. Why go somewhere else?
