Lawn Care

Hired Weed Away to take care of my weeds and the lawn really turned around. We thought that we would have to re-sod our backyard but after the treatments, we saw continuous improvement. We are very happy with their services.

Summer Weed Control

They are super quick to respond when you ask for a quote, but once Kyle has your money, NO ONE RESPONDS. I spent all summer calling and emailing and NOT ONCE did anyone get back to me. NOT ONCE!
Whatever they used for weed control, it doesn't work. Mid to Late summer my lawn was covered in clover or had patches or dead grass/weeds after they sprayed.

Hi there sorry you feel this way but we have tried our very best to take care of all of the clients during Covid shut downs in 2020 we did manage. We can't find your customer profile so if you could please contact Morgan he will ensure you are looked after.

Understanding and making things right is what we are about.

Lawn Care Program that killed my lawn

The staff will write a report about the lawn health while they are inside there car before even doing the service. I also had a chinch bug infestation and the technician didn't even mention it in his report.
I paid for an extra service to treat the chinch bug but after 10 days of the treatment the bugs were still alive and thriving. When I complained to the owner he got upset and hung-up on me.
He sent his technician to re-apply the treatment and I closed my file with them.
Terrible company with rude owner. I felt that he hired me not the other way.
My lawn is half dead now and I have to pay another company to fix it.

We are sorry you had a bad experience with chinch bugs as they can be devastating to a lawn and unfortunately your lawn had been chewed up we did re-apply it at no charge to try and help the situation.

Morgan would like you to reach out to him as he will do what he can to fix the situation.

lawn care

there cinch bug application (nematodes) did not work and my back lawn destroyed what was once a beautiful healthy lawn. Emailed them (which took 10 days to respond) and offered no help to restore. Except step by step instructions. I guess so much for there guarantee to give a beautiful lawn.

Hi Doug I would like to apologize for the lack of response during the 2020 season as our business was shut down multiple times due to what has been going on. We would simply like to apologize as some things are out of our control.

Any questions please ask for Morgan he will help any way he can.

Tons of mushrooms

From C. Wright. For the last month I have had to pull hundreds of mushrooms from my front lawn on a regular basis. I live in Milton and left a detailed message with Weed A Way and the call was never returned. I called again and explained my situation to the lady and she said she'd get right back to me. Again never heard back from anyone. A week later I called a third time and the man basically said there is nothing they will do but send someone out to look. No one has been by as I continue to pull out mushrooms daily.
Very poor customer service!!

I there sorry you feel this way as we were badly effected with the Covid shut downs and as a small family run company we tried to accommodate and get back to everyone. Mushrooms are occurring naturally and they cause no harm to the lawn other then appearance. With wet conditions and heat the fungus is created and mushrooms will start to grow. They will die off over the winter and most likely will not bother you again in 2021. We do apply lime on all customers to help balance out the ph level in the soil to help with these or minimize situations.

Again sorry for the frustration in 2020 with respond time as we had to close multiple times.

Any questions please ask for Morgan have a great day!

Poor service

Very unhappy. I am a new customer. After first treatment last month, spent 3 hours to take out weeds as my small backyard was still all yellow with dandelion, which my kid is allergic too. I was told no weed service was done and someone will come last week. No one came. Yesterday got auto message that service will be done today, no one came. Please save your money and hire someone else. Waste of hard earned money.

Hi Sonia the house address provided to us gave a couple of the technicians trouble finding the property I remember speaking with you and you were very nice I told you that we would be out the next couple of days to take care of the weeds for you, so I hope that happened. We do want you to be happy so if you have any other concerns just ask for Morgan or call him at 9058583100 and he will ensure that you are satisfied.

Lawn Care

Talk to Morgan!! Anytime I message him he's always available and willing to respond to any queries I have about my lawn. Hes very helpful and tells me what I need to do, but more importantly, what I don't need to do and pay for. The instant access to help and advice is the reason I would pick Weed Away over their competitors. They have completely transferred my lawn over the last three years! Thanks Morgan!!

Weed control

Hired weed away for the 2019 season. Overall I was happy with the results. I didn’t have a completely weed free lawn, but it was a big Improvement from the state it was in. I agreed to the service for the 2020 season and I’m already happy with the start. I received my call ahead the other day and my technician arrived and did my first fertalizer and their weed suppressant application. I’m looking forward to enjoying my lawn this year with my girlfriend and pets.

Lawn service

Had the guys over at weed away take over my lawn last year as I always did it myself. The lawn definitely improved over the products that I was using I really didn’t have any weeds and the overall thickness really came in. For the price it costs I have decided to continue with them and let them take care of the grass.

Download our Lawn Care Tips to stay on top of lawn maintenance.

Now there’s a way to stop thinking "The grass is greener on the other side"! Weed-A-Way’s premium lawn care products and services will make your dream lawn a stunning reality. Here’s how:

*As industry leaders and certified IPM (Integrated Pest Management) specialists, our lawn care programs utilize the most advanced turf management practices and products.

*Our lawn amendment treatments as well as lawn care programs promote a vibrant landscape.

*Depending upon weather conditions, we use a combination of Liquid and Granular fertilizers. Of course, if you prefer Granular, just let us know.

*We guarantee results with our fertilizer and weed control programs. If after an application stubborn weed persists we'll come back and re-spray at no charge.

Our services consist of the following programs and additional services:

*Basic (Fertilizer & Weed Control) Lawn Care Program

*Intermediate Organic Lawn Care Program

*Advanced Lawn Care Program

*Weed Control: FIESTA: A highly-recommended timely weed control which is composed of iron and is odourless, Fiesta kills the weeds but does not harm the lawn. It is applied by our highly qualified technicians throughout your season long program. Weeds compete with grass and plants for nutrients, water and sunlight. Broadleaf weeds are usually the greatest threat. If not dealt with quickly, they can destroy all your hard work. Effective weed control solutions from Weed-A-Way lawn services will ensure a healthy and vibrant lawn. We have extensive experience in dealing with various types of weeds like dandelion, broadleaf plantain, etc., and know how to deal with each one.

*Core Aeration: The secret to a lush, green lawn is core aeration. Soil compacts over time and especially with traffic. Core aeration allows nutrients, water and oxygen to reach grass roots more easily. However, lawn aeration is more than just punching holes in the ground. You must have the proper equipment and be willing to set aside a couple of hours for aeration. It’s also important to know when your garden needs core aeration. Weed-A-Way’s lawn services take the trial and error out of grass treatments. We make sure that the grass is always green on your side of the fence.

*Grub Treatment: Typically, grubs attack grass roots. A damaged root system results in a poor quality lawn with dirty, yellowish brown patches. Timely grub treatment from Weed-A-Way will avoid the huge expense of replacing your lawn as well as eliminate the threat of skunks and raccoons that feed on them. By using natural grub treatments like nematodes (naturally occurring microscopic worms) to destroy them and alfalfa treatments to stimulate roots, increase growth and drought resistance, our efficient lawn services will ensure a strong and healthy turf.

*Crab Grass Control: Crabgrass forms thick clumps of light green leaves that are highly competitive with turf grasses. It turns brownish red in mid to late summer. Timely treatments are the most effective way to deal with crabgrass. Since this lawn problem germinates from seeds in spring it’s extremely important to apply the crabgrass control treatment before germination takes place.

*Lime Treatment: In order to have healthy soil that supports grass growth, it is important to maintain the appropriate pH (acidity) balance. Using lime treatment is often the best solution. Although some lawn experts recommend lime treatment before starting a lawn, applications on mature turf also have several benefits. However, in order for your lime treatment to be effective, you must have knowledge of your soil’s pH levels. Our experienced lawn services will analyze a soil sample before applying lime treatment to your grass. We make sure we get it done right.

*Surface Insect Control: Chinch bugs, sod webworms, cutworms and other surface insects usually strike in the summer. They are so small and usually buried in the lawn thatch; that’s why it so hard to spot them. Very often insect ridden grass looks dry and you might think it simply needs watering. Since your lawn is already stressed with the heat, drought-like conditions, weeds and traffic, the damage is greater. Weed-A-Way surface insect treatment means identifying your problems quickly and correctly, and then taking the appropriate control measures to eliminate the pests.

*Overseeding and Core Aeration: Core aeration makes your overseeding efforts worthwhile. By unplugging the soil in a methodical way, you can remove thatch and reduce soil compaction as well as increase success of weed, surface insect and lime treatments. But a significant benefit of core aeration with regard to overseeding is that it allows the nutrients to reach the seeds and roots faster. Our expert lawn services can handle your overseeding and core aeration requirements to ensure proper effectiveness.
