Lawn Service

My back lawn may have been nothing but weeds but at least it was green. Now it is nothing but dirt. At least I don't have to mow it. I guess it's time to put down new sod. Weed man did get rid of the weeds and everything else.

Please contact my office as the condition of your lawn is very concerning to me. If the lawn was nothing but weeds it sounds like renovations were required and not lawn care as there would be very little grass for us to maintain and the weeds would take over. Our services our designed to make your grass stronger and healthier and to control the weed population not to grow new grass. I would like to speak to you about these concerns and to do this I need to look into your account information to help. Please call me,

Lawn service

I don't usually write reviews but I felt I needed to share my experience. Weed man provided the worst service I have ever had. After I complained the first time they promised to give them another opportunity and if I wasn't satisfied they would refund my last service. Needless to say they continued to disappoint and refused to refund the last service. BEWARE of weed man. I would never use them again even if they were the only lawn service available.

I am sorry to hear about your experience as this offer to refund the last service is something that we do not offer at our location. I am unsure if we were your Weed Man provider and would like to assist you with this concern. If you could please contact our office and ask for myself I would be happy to look into this concern. It seems as if your service issues are from your 2013 lawn care season, but I will do everything I can to help.

Lawn care

Do not go or you will be at loss.They entered my lawn, sprayed fertilizer and extorted $65 from my credit card without even asking us. Its been 11/2 month and I still did not get my money.

I am not sure if you are in my area as you have referenced a different franchise than the one I maintain. If you are please contact my office and we will attempt to resolve this matter together.

I am sorry that you feel this way as this is not our intent. We always ensure that our customers are aware of our continuous service as it is described in every invoice we leave during the season and on the three invoices that we mail out for the upcoming season. On these invoices it is stated to contact our office by a certain date if you wish to modify or cancel your program. Over 84% of our customer prefers continuous service and for those who do not upon their request we remove them from that practice immediately for every. If there is anything else we can do please do not hesitate in contacting our office.

The services from the 11, Grand Marshall Drive in Scarborough lack proffesionalism and integrity, I continue to recieve a bill for services that were never rendered. When I called last spring to complain, they said they would send a Supervisor to my house to check on my lawn. That never happened yet they told me that someone had come while I was not home (how convenient!!). When I called to say I refuse to pay for services that were not rendered, they "blackmailed" me and said that they would waive the fee if I re-committed for one more season. I am in the process of escalating this matter and I would highly advise that you do not trust this company at all!

We have attempted to resolve this concern on several occasions including reapplying the service at no charge twice in the fall of 2013. I have responded to our customers concerns and have offered
To reduce the outstanding bill and to reapply the service again at no charge to ensure we meet or exceeded our customer expectations with their lawn care results. It has been more than a week and I have had no response to my offers. I am very anxious to resolve this matter and take care of my customers lawn care needs.

Lawn Maintenance

Hired Weed Man for 1 season lawn care and weed treatment, offered through their door-to-door offer of excelent customer service and guaranteed weed removal (they said they would come as many times as it takes to get rid of them). After the initial treatment ended up being very erratic and left some large areas of grass burned (had to replace the sod completely later), but at the same time skipping completely some large (40cm tall) and easy to treat weeds. Repeated treatment was useless and repeated calls to address the problem were always met with customer service and even manager's promises that they will take care of it to our satisfaction, but then repeatedly doing nothing. At that time I also caught the "continuous service" clause in their contract, which was never brought up by the sales person to me, even though I specifically asked for only 1 season of treatment. So, I canceled the contract formally (they sent a partial refund, though not matching the number of applications performed by them) and asked them to neever come back and to never call us again to offer services. Sadly, they kept calling after that many times. Very dissapointing quality of work and service overall.

I am sorry to hear that your experience with Weed Man was disappointing. I am unable to locate your account to address your concerns in an informed manner and would ask that you call or email my office so I can address these concerns. Weed Man offers in writing unlimited reapplications of all of our services to attain the results that both we and our customers would be proud of. If this result was not achieved than I apologize as the usually results suggest a much better outcome for my customers. If my office is still contacting you please provide me with your account information so I can resolve this concern immediately.

Weed Control

“Unprofessional Business Management and CUSTOMER SERVICE”
This is My Review on WEED MAN Lawn Services Located at 11 Grand Marshall Dr. Scarborough, ON.

In the Summer of 2013 while I was away a representative from WEED MAN came to our door and managed to convince my wife how good they are and how fast they can get rid of the weeds in our lawn with 1-2 applications and give it a golf course look. Time passed by and we noticed no improvements in our lawn condition and in fact in some spot gone worst . I called WEED MAN and they said we should have more of this treatment and e more of that application for our lawn and trying to sell me some more services and record my voice on line to document my agreement for the cost of their services. I declined and send them pictures from my lawns condition and asked them they should fix the problem which they have already paid for after some more sales pitch they tried to make sale, I did not agree. Week later I received an invoice charging me for services I did not ordered. I call the office and ask them about the bill and she said someone will call me later, I received no call I send WEED MAN another Email asking them to stop sending anybody to my property and discontinue their services all together. To my surprise their invoices where kip coming for services I did not ordered. It is to my opinion WEED MAN has no concern’s for their customers and their satisfaction all they care about is how much they can do business without fulfilling their obligations. All in all I am not happy with WEED MAN business attitudes and customer services and for that I do not recommend WEED MAN to any of my friends, relatives’ or neighbours
WEED MAN has no customer review section in their website.
I contacted the WEED MAN office on February 12/2014 and asked the receptionist if they have a CUSTOMER REVIEW section on their web site? To my surprise her answer was negative and then I decided to write a review on my own and posted on the internet.

It is disappointing to me also that you were unhappy with your first year services. It is very unfortunate that your lawn also experienced 2 different types of insect infestations from late June until mid-August. The lawn in both cases had experienced damage and thinning due to these insects allowing other plants like weeds to take over in those areas. We acknowledge there was a weed issues and we were determined to control most of them with reapplications at no charge. We also recommended that soil/seed was needed to help thicken the thinning areas to help choke out new weeds from coming up.

Any and all services that were ordered were either written or recorded agreements by the home owner. I am truly sorry that you feel we were not concerned about you or your satisfaction with our services as this could not be any further from the truth. We applied a free insect control in July, extra weed controls at no charge and manager visits to diagnose any problems with your lawn to help advise you, our customer on what the lawn needs to be healthier. We provided services for the entire season and did not receive our first payment until 4 months after its completion which ended up placing your account and services on hold delaying many applications from being completed. I have already offered to reduce your extremely overdue account and remove all interest charges to remedy both of our concerns, from your last complaint you filed a week ago. My offer still stands but if you would like to speak to me please call my office from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday.
