My mom and I had moved to our new house 4 months ago. And in that time we had never cut the grass. It was depressing and embarrassing. We live in a rural area with almost 20,000 sq ft yard. We also are very poor. Mom had just been diagnosed with expensive cancer, and was in hospital for over a month trying to survive her 4 major surgeries. She did. We also have no car, which sucks.

So, after 4 months, we HAD mow this damn grass somehow. I went on thumbtask app first and got some quotes. Wholly conquistadors, the quotes were insane. 200$, 275$, 150$, and finally 100$. Even 100$ is a bit high, but ok. Messaged them, they said they don't do my area.

Felt defeated. Then saw Taskeasy. Plugged in my sq ft of my house and they came back at an automated quote of 61$. Wt*:)

Then, I looked up their reviews, and sitejabber comes up first. Wt*! Nothing but horrible reviews! Scary. I actually read the reviews.

Happy that they at least show up, according to bad reviews.

They can increase the price once they show up. Super scary.

I saw people complain about the premium service. I'm just recommending the basic package. I don't have premium money.

I did get charged 10$ more, a very fair price. For a 4 month neglected lawn. If you're worried about that, make sure you're at home and ask if its extra.

Also, they don't get paid till they take those before and after photos, upload it and you approve. They show proof of their work. They get paid either upon your approval or 2 days later automatically.

My guy showed up, the right day, got on his riding mower and mowed. Then did some trimming all over. Got rid of some and hills.

Last point, I believe these are independent contractors like on thumbtack or uber. If that is the case, they should have where you can rate, and see your contractors rating :) for accountability. If it drops down to a certain rating, maybe they're bad eggs. You don't want your nice company tainted with a few bad apples. And much of the time, people only write bad reviews. I always try to write good reviews when I have good service.
