Bag of Soil

I was looking for some good quality soil for my front lawn and stumbled upon an ad I saw from Weed-A-Way and their brand of soil products called Global Earth Bags. After looking at a few other companies in the area I decided to try Weed-A-Way out.

I spoke with someone on staff to place my order and she was very friendly and courteous.

When I saw the big bag of soil at the front of my driveway when I came home from work, I was astonished to find out how big these bags actually were.

They really delivered when it came to quality and price and I will order my bag of soil next year from them as well.

Lawn Care

I had the premium service from Weed-A-Way, we really enjoyed their service. We enjoyed having a weed free lawn through the summer session which allowed for my family to enjoyed our yard.

This year we decided to move to a dwelling that did not have a lawn. Weed-A-Way was prompt to provide a full refund for my prepaid service. I enjoyed their service and if my situation changes in the future I will use their service again, completely recommend weed-a-way services.

Lawn care

We had a terrible lawn covered in weeds, contacted Weed-A-Way last fall(2013) and have been impressed ever since. We were amazed that our weeds virtually disappeared. We weren't sure what to expect after removing our hockey rink tarp but we were relieved there were no weeds and lawn looks great. We've already received our first feeding and fertilizing. The customer service is always excellent, highly recommend Weed-A-Way.

Lawn care

I used weed away for 2 years in a row and ended up with a worse lawn then I started with. I was told that I had a guaranteed services on the weed control since it only kills on contact and it did absolutely nothing! in fact I strongly believe what ever it is they used caused more weeds on my lawn. I ended up canceling the services and still to this day I get called 3 to 4 times a week to sign up again when I have made it clear I will never use their services again. This company has by far the worse customer service. I would not recommend weed away to anyone.

Company Response

I am disappointed that this review has been posted. Dandelions are starting to show their bright, yellow faces this spring and like it or not, they’re going to make their annual appearance in our lawns. Whether you can tolerate their short-lived bloom or endure watching their wispy seed pods spread their seeds into the wind — from your neighbors' lawn onto yours — we Ontarians have little treatment options available to us for any sort of weed control in our own back and front yards. However that does not mean we can't accomplish getting rid of your weeds. You are right, the weed control is a contact killer and only kills the weeds it has contact with, when new weeds come up you simply call the office and we come back and spray at NO CHARGE to you. We take our work very personally and very seriously. We strive for customer satisfaction. With the introduction of the Ontario Pesticide ban in 2009, our government has left us with limited options for killing the dreaded dandelions and invasive weeds in our turf. I personally have not dealt with a Sarah from Brampton and I am 100% sure I can change your mind about our company. Lawn care is a team effort from both the company and the customer to work together to achieve the best results. Please contact the office if I can assist you any further. In addition, I apologize on behalf of the company, and if I knew your name I could remove you off our contact list. The staff was simply trying to get you back on board with a lawn care company who cares!

Service

I was their customer in 2013. This year I said I don't need your services. They tried to blackmail me and send the technician any way. Though we told him we do not need their service, he still did some thing I don't know what. This co. Is very difficult to deal with.

Company Response

We respect our customers, there must be a communication break down because we only service lawns who we have had contact with about specific service dates. I'm sorry that you were unhappy with the customer service you received, but our staff would certainly never blackmail a customer, that is illegal and our customers are our most important asset. Thank you for your feedback.

Weed-a-way LTD

I have always been using Weed-a-way for my pesticide and weed removal for my front lawn and back yard. They usually come during the day while I'm at work so I don't see what they do, but I know that I can rely on them to get the job done and bill me appropriately and competitively. I am very pleased with the service I have receaved and would recommend to anyone.

Lawn care

I have been a customer of weed-a-away's for some time now and love the look of my lawn. I trust their products and employees. They are so helpful and informative. I was worried about using products on my lawn as I have dogs and small child but knowing that the products they use are environmentally friendly and safe puts my mind at ease. I have and will continue to recommend them to my family and friends.

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.
