In today’s digital world, online reviews are often the first thing people look at before choosing a local lawn care provider. A sea of perfect 5-star ratings might seem reassuring… but here’s a little truth: when every single review is flawless, it’s worth asking a few questions.

The Problem with “Too Perfect”

No business—especially one that serves hundreds or thousands of customers each year—is perfect. Lawns are living, changing ecosystems, and factors like weather, soil conditions, and customer expectations all play a role in results. Even the most reputable companies will occasionally face challenges, and not every customer will leave 5 stars every time.

That’s why a company with nothing but perfect reviews can be a red flag. It could mean:

• Selective posting – Only showcasing positive feedback while hiding or discouraging real criticism.
• Paid or fake reviews – Unfortunately, buying reviews is a practice some companies use to inflate their reputation.
• Pressure on customers – Some companies make it awkward or uncomfortable for clients to leave anything but a glowing review.

Why Negative Reviews Can Be a Good Sign

A truly trustworthy company doesn’t run from criticism—it addresses it. Negative reviews, when handled correctly, give you insight into:

• How the company responds to challenges – Do they own the problem and work to fix it?
• Their level of customer service – A polite, professional, and solutions-oriented reply shows genuine care.
• Realistic expectations – You’ll see honest examples of situations that could happen and how the company resolves them.
