Ranked by real Google ratings and review volume · How we chose

We compared 17 lawn care services in Philadelphia on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

Philadelphia lawns run from a strip of grass behind a rowhome to a large Chestnut Hill property, and the lawn care services in Philadelphia that serve them are just as varied. The businesses here hold more than 880 Google reviews between them, with ratings from 4.3 up to a perfect 5.0, and the biggest split is between app marketplaces that match you with a crew and local operators who do the work themselves.

Short answer: LawnStarter Lawn Care Service has the most Google reviews here, 4.3 stars from more than 470 reviews, but it is an app marketplace that matches you with local pros. Please Plant Me Lawn Mowing Service (4.8, more than 140 reviews) is a mobile Philadelphia mowing business, and Lawn Love (4.8) is another app platform. For a local crew, Quikscape (4.8) and Lawn Boy (5.0) also cover cleanups and landscaping.

How the scorecards work

Each scorecard uses public Google data. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other lawn care businesses in the Philadelphia area. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from a hundred reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency shows how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What shapes lawn care pricing in Philadelphia

LawnStarter’s site advertises mowing from $19; the other businesses list no prices, so ask for a written quote. Pricing generally follows lot size, how overgrown the yard is, how often you want service, and whether you add cleanup, edging or mulching. Small rowhome yards and large suburban lots are different jobs.

Lawn care across Philadelphia

Please Plant Me comes to you across Philadelphia, and Lawn Boy Landscaping is based on Green Lane in the city, with one reviewer’s job in Chestnut Hill. Quikscape is based across the river in Pennsauken. LawnStarter and Lawn Love dispatch local pros. Looking for lawn care near me? Each card has a phone number so you can confirm your block is covered.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the person mowing an employee or an independent contractor?
  • Is the price per visit or a seasonal plan, and are edging and cleanup included?
  • How do you handle a missed or rained-out cut?
  • Do you bag and haul clippings and leaves?
  • Can you add cleanup, mulching or sod if I need it?
  • Do you service my block, and can you serve a small rowhome yard?

Frequently asked questions

Are LawnStarter and Lawn Love lawn companies or apps?

Both are online platforms that match you with local lawn pros and handle booking and payment. Reviews name the individual pros who showed up. The other businesses here, such as Please Plant Me and Lawn Boy, work directly with customers.

Which Philadelphia lawn care options also handle landscaping or cleanups?

Can I get a lawn cut in Philadelphia on short notice?

Several reviewers of Please Plant Me say it came the same day they called or within 24 hours. A Quikscape reviewer says it assessed the yard and did the work the next day, and LawnStarter’s site advertises a 48-hour start for most customers.

What if a mowing visit gets rescheduled?
