American Ecosystems

Don't Waste Your Money on American Ecosystems I engaged this company to spray the lake weeds on the shoreline of my property and agreed to pay them a monthly fee for regular re-treatments to keep the area clear. I paid $300 for an initial spraying and was billed $70 per month for nine months of ongoing treatments. The total that I have paid them is $930. The initial spraying was patchy and skipped a large area that we agreed they would spray. But I was happy to let them fill in the gaps as part of the program of regular re-sprayings that we agreed they would do. Some months went by and stuff was starting to re-grow. I had not seen any signs of the regular re-treatment that I have been billed for so I asked what was going on. The response was that they were just about to come and do the work, and I did get a report later to say that they had done a re-treatment. I have no idea whether they would have come had I not raised a query regarding the lack of activity. I don't know how effective that treatment was as the level of weeds continued to accumulate. More months went by with my paying their monthly invoices but with no evidence of any further work having been done. I wrote again asking for a schedule of the works that they had done under the contract and did not get the courtesy of a response. Meanwhile the weeds continued to thrive and no action was forthcoming from American Ecosystems. After a further period of several weeks of inactivity and further weed re-growth I wrote the company to say that as they were clearly not going to perform the work that I had paid them for I was going to cease making payments. I did not receive the courtesy of a response. So in summary I am out nearly a thousand dollars and the shoreline is about back to where it was and I need to start over with a professional organization that is interested in actually providing the service that they agree to perform. My advice would be to avoid this company as they are only interested in taking your money and not performing the work they contract to do. They also won't reply if you question why you are paying for a service that isn't being delivered.
