Lawn care.

I used them once a couple of years ago, and now they won't stop calling. We're moving and have told at least 5 times that we don't need their service and still they call. Just leave us alone! Please!!

lawn care

Started using weedaway this year and noticed a significant improvement in my lawn. They said that they would kill our weeds and they have done exactly that. I am very happy with the work they have done. I would recommend weedaway to anyone looking for good customer and lawn service.

Lawn Care

WORST BUSINESS PRACTICES!! STAY AWAY!! We used them in 2011 and the service provided was ok. In 2012, they incessantly called but we no longer wanted the service as we were considering re-landscaping the yard. In 2013 the calls started to come again and once again we went out of our way to let them know not to come as we did not want the service. We called back many times to ensure they did not come again. However, they decided to come anyway without consent and without permission. They billed us for the "services rendered" and then proceeded to take us to collections because we didn't pay for something we NEVER wanted. I even tried to call them after all the questionable ethical behaviour to sort it all out to which they yelled at me and proceeded to hang up on me. If you call to cancel apparently you need to get a cancellation number from them. ENSURE YOU DO THIS or they will insist you never called them to cancel the services. The business practice of this company is TERRIBLE!! I see below that we are not the only ones that this has happened to. Buyers beware!!

Company Response

Nancy I believe you have the wrong company as we do not have you in our system/database. However, with our company you can either choose to put your account on "do not auto renew" or "continuous service". We provide those 2 options when the customer first signs up for their lawn maintenance. For all customers who do chose to put their account on continuous service, we also contact several times throughout the off season by telephone and mail to see if they are interested in certain specials and to confirm that the services and payment agreements are what they are looking for. Should you have any further questions please contact the office so we can better assist you. (905) 858 - 3100

Lawncare

I have been with weed-a-way for over 3 years. I tried so many different lawn care companies, before, but nothing seem to have worked. Ever since I signed up with weed-a-way, I don't have a single complaint, the lawn is great. My lawn is serviced by them throughout the season from time-to-time. Customer service is excellent, specially the Supervisor Keith, always very polite and knowledgeable. I appreciate when I'm told what necessary for my lawn. It's definitely not like a daily sales call, whatever recommendations were made have all benefited my lawn. Overall I am happy with services and the staff that I have dealt with. Excellent service with a reasonable price :)

Nightmare company

just got off the phone with weed a way regarding an invoice for over $261. I did a search to see if others were victimize by this company and it's not a surprise that their are over four pages of complaints. Better business bureau has started the process.

it's unfortunate but its reassuring to know that i'm not alone - now I stand firm.

Company Response

Sheldon I'm sorry that your are unsatisfied with the service you received. Unfortunately, we had to take action against you regarding your delinquent account as you failed to pay the invoices for the services you requested. I'm sorry that you have a negative opinion of the company, but it is a business, so if accounts are overdue we need to take action to receive the agreed upon payment. Unfortunately, you have not replied to our statements, letters, and reminders regarding your past due account and therefore we had to send it to a credit bureau. I regret that this interaction has taken a negative turn for us both.

Garden Soil Delivery

I purchased garden soil from Weed-A-Way, and it was delivered promptly the next day. Because we were home at the time, Kevin, the driver took time to speak with us about where we would like the bag placed. We needed it in a difficult to reach corner, but Kevin happily took his time to drop the earth exactly where we needed it, without damaging the surrounding trees.

The soil itself was excellent quality with no extraneous debris, and most reasonably priced for cubic yard bags. A quick measure showed that the bag was overfilled - a bonus as we received much more than we paid for.

Highly recommended for the courteous service, and convenience of the delivery.

Black Garden Soil

Praise Jesus, Weed-a-Way has come as our saviour to excrutiating dead patches, repulsive weeds and a slow growing garden. The grass has truly been greener on the other side. Their Global Earth Bag’s "Black Garden Soil" is a MUST for everyone this spring! My family gets it every year and it’s premium black loam, mixture of organic compost, peat moss, sand, and fine aged bark that will leave your breathless when your flowers are blossoming and veggies start growing faster than Jack's beanstock. They even deliver it for free and drop it off in an environmentally friendly bag on your driveway. Top notch service, family owned and trusted, and if you need core aeration, fertilizer or weed control no one else can compete with the prices and quality of lawn care Weed-a-Way delivers.

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.
