lawn weed and feed service

Beware signing up. Your contract is on a continous basis. Even if you haven't paid for the season, they still show up and expect to be paid. I had to call them and request that they come out and spray the weeds that were popping up like crazy. After they came it was o.k. for a while but the weeds still came back. I can do better myself with weed control from Costco and a lot cheaper.

Company Response

Weeds are a contact treatment and they spread from other lawns and other areas. If the weeds do come back up please contact our office for a no charge reapplication. When maintaining your own lawn there is no guarantee if you have any concerns please always contact our office and we will always be happy to help.

Unwanted Service

I just asked a quotation for weed control service over the phone a week ago and today weedman showed up doing a fertilizer job with a $66.09 bill. I contacted them right away and the lady said she can put my account on hold but I have to pay the bill anyway. How can they ask me to pay for a service which I never order from them? Plus, my backyard is always locked from inside, so it is impossible for them to do any job in the backyard, but the bill quotes job is done for my entire lawn.
I should have read other person's posts about weedman before calling them for a quote.

Lawn care

Weed Man had promised they would have the lawn looking great and that grass would be growing everywhere if I were to get their full package. I signed up for it and the lawn didn't look any better at the end of the year then it did at the beginning of the year.

They said they would guarantee it. That didn't work out to be a true claim as such.

weed treatment

They did a very poor treatment, they said they guaranteed their service however, they did not do a follow up treatment. After I complained about their service and expressed my dissatisfaction, they still charged me! I did not pay, and canceled my service, reminding them that they promised satisfaction or no charge. I don't recommend this particular service as I spoke to neighbors who complained of similarly poor experiences. That is all

Lawn maintenance

They handled my moms property last year and to be honest we didn't see any improvement in her lawn....still had weeds. So were not planning to call them...but they called us and keep calling even after being told "No". My worry is my mom is by herself and I do not appreciate calls after you've been told to stop.

weed control

They are a despicable company with no scruples or morals, they will not do as they are requested and will do you in at every possibility just to get into your wallet, the act outside of any legal parameters I have ever experienced or encounter and bank on the fact that you will not defend yourself, they bring new meaning to the term underhanded and disgusting, you deal with them at great peril.

lawn care service/weed removal

After a sales phone call that sounded oh-so promising, I consented to a package with The Weedman that would consist of 4 treatments beginning in late spring and ending in the early fall. I did not sign anything. The first 2 treatments burned my lawn, yet the weeds thrived. Speaking to the technicians who apply the treatments is like speaking to a brick wall. They never conveyed my concerns to the "customer service" office. Attempting to reach someone in the office is a real challenge. The company called my home every evening looking for my business, yet their "customer service" reps are only available from 9am-5pm. When I finally reached someone (because I am working during their "service" hours), I got this long lecture about how the government was preventing them from using certain weed control products and this was a big part of the problem. I asked to have the service cancelled, though one treatment was outstanding. I arrived home one evening to find a technician applying the last treatment and argued with him about it - he left me a bill anyway. On the following day, the "customer service" rep told me that if I didn't pay the bill, it would be sent to collections. They read back to me notes written from my first call, which stated that "Mrs is completely satisfied with the service and is looking forward to treatments next year". COMPLETE and blatent fabrication. So folks, I spent close to $200 for a burned lawn and weeds that are stronger than ever. If I didn't deliver results in my own job and then treated my clients like crap, not only would I not be paid, I would be shown the door. This company is dishonest and does not deliver the guaranteed results. They get a big fat "0" from me on all counts.

lawn weed and feed service

CRIMINAL!!!!!! This is the most dishonest, irresponsible and incompetent company which whom we have ever dealt. While our weed control was pathetic this summer after being charged for weeds to be eliminated from our property, we were told by Weed Man representatives that it was the time of year (July) when we could expect many weeds. We were billed anyway. Then we were told that the effective weed control products were on back order from Europe and that the products they were using were ineffective. We were billed anyway. Then Weed Man paid us three 'pretend' visits. They charged us for three varied weed and fertilizer applications at three different times but never actually showed up. Finally, they showed up at the end of October after several frosts to fertilize, just in time for the snow. Throughout the summer, we made several requests for a manager to come and inspect our lawn. No one ever arrived. When we called several times to speak to a manager, we were told all managers were in a meeting. Their products are useless, there is NO customer service and they have no regard for honesty. Shame on you, Weed Man.

Company Response

I was very concerned when I read this statement about the company I work for and the pride I take in doing my job as a Customer Service Manager. I was able to contact Paul regarding these concerns and we discussed the problems at great length. Although there were discrepancies in some of the information Paul had provided in his statement, which we agreed upon, there was a lack of service and customer service in which I apologized for and assume full responsiblilty. We have worked out a deal and we will be talking again in the near future. Thank you for your time.

Lawn Maintenace

Used Weed Man for 1 year. Not overly impressed with the condition of my lawn (could have done the same job ourselves). We got a call this past winter telling us if we renewed early there would be a discount. Told person we would not be renewing again. After several days a "manager" called saying he could give us a better price. Told him probably not but if he wanted to send me some information thru the mail I'd discuss with my husband and if we decided to go with them I'd call. Never called but come April get home from work to find Weed Man's applied a treatment. Called them saying didn't ask for your service they said they didn't have it on record (how convenient!!) and that we'd be responsible for that bill. Told the woman I spoke to I wasn't paying for something I didn't ask for. Have been harrassed and threatened since then finally resulting in a collection agency wanting there now $63. Called collection agency they said they can't make any changes but failing to pay will result in your "bad credit" info being passed to Equifax Canada. Called the Weed Man and first told they have the conversation recorded and she'd check. Came back 5 minutes later saying she could access the system "how convenient!!!) and that a Manager "Steve" would call me that evening. Needless to say that never happened and not the next evening either. I've read several posts and it seem this is an occuring issue with the Weed Man. Do your homework - lesson learned for me. Definately not over thinkig of taking the issue to small claims court. No probs Weed Man can't wait to start telling my neighbours (several of them use your company) just how unreputable you are!!!!!
