I ordered a black garden soil bag. It was delivered the next day. Very fast and good services. The price is cheaper than other brands, and there is $20 discount.

delivery of soil

We had awful customer service with this company, rude, extremely unprofessional and disorganized. Our bag was delivered firstly on the wrong date, picked up, and even second time of delivery was delayed by a day. Second day of delivery the worker rang the door bell repetitively (still unsure why that was necessary when it was just a drop off?) and was rude upon greeting at the door (with an infant napping in our home). Care, concern or promptness was not show when concerns were expressed to management. In fact the owner said 'family issues were his problem, therefore customers come last"... administration also stated that she was going to call the police to file a complaint against my husband who answered the door and asked the worked to not ring the door bell and to speak with more respect. Would not recommend this company for their absolute lack of professionalism and respect to customers. Very disappointed in the outcome. Already called and dealt with another company and have already been much more pleasant to deal with

Weed-A-Way Ltd

If you are expecting to have your bag of top dress or top soil delivered on the date agreed to by Weed_A-Way, good luck. When you call in to speak with their representatives to follow up on the status of your order, be ready for some serious attitude and incompetence. Won't be using this company again.

Lawn Care

After such a harsh winter resulting in snow plow and salt damage we were anxious about the condition of our lawn but Weed-A-Way has already got it looking green & healthy. We also, for the first time, used their soil delivery service and it was delivered not only on time, but where we wanted the bag dropped. We are extremely pleased with their service and fair rates. Don't hesitate to use this company.

Black garden soil

I received the Money Saver envelope in the mail... They have the best price out there...and from my initial phone call I received the bag at home on time. I think the wife will use them for lawn care as well.

Lawn care

I often looked at other people's lawns and wondered how they got them so green and healthy. . When I started looking for a lawn company I chose Weedaway because the company has been in business for many years with the same owner and because of all of that experience they were very knowledgeable. Weedaway gave us great service, and most important great results. I think other people now look at my lawn and wonder how it got so green and healthy!

Lawn Care

I have been involved with Weed-A-Way on and off over the years and find I keep coming back because they do stand up to their service. I realize that a good green lawn takes work on my part too but fighting weeds can be difficult....if the weeds are not in check Weed-A-Way with their guarantee service level will come out as many times as it takes. They have been helpful by educating me on how to keep up my lawn between services and encouraged me to call if I am having problems. Thank you... looking forward to a new season!

Lawn maintenance

We have used Weed-a-Way for our lawn maintenance needs for many years. We've always received great service, from their knowledgeable people, and have become very comfortable taking their advice on issues we have encountered over the years. We have grandchildren and pets and have stressed to our Weed-a-Way representative, Morgan, how important it is that we receive advance notice of their visits and when they do visit, the security of our yard is very important. They have always recognized our concerns in this area and followed our instructions completely. We enjoy our lawn and gardens year after year and very much appreciate Weed-A-Ways professional help in contributing to our enjoyment.

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.
