Weed Man is a network of locally owned and operated lawn care professionals providing environmentally responsible fertilization, weed control and integrated pest management services. For the past 40 years, Weed Man's promise has always been the same: We treat your lawn as if it were our own and provide you with honest and open communication.
I hired these guys in 2019 for weed control. They did a terrible job. I am not 100% certain they actually provided the service I paid for. I had to call them multiple times to come back and spray for weeds. My lawn looked worse last year than it had in the previous 15 years I have lived at my home. I hired a new lawn service, TruGreen, this year and they have done a wonderful job. Weed Man has continue to charge me for services that I informed them I did not want. They told me they will continue to provide services indefinitely until I give them written notice I want them to stop (which I have now done) They have since sent the bills for services I did not want to a collection agency and are unwilling to work with me to fix this problem. Customer service is rude and nasty. I would never recommend anyone waste a minute of time with this company.

Response from Weed Man Lawn Care
Hi [Member Name Removed], we regret to hear that you weren't satisfied with our services. It is not very often that we get complaints regarding the results on the lawn, however we do take them seriously. Each lawn poses a different challenge when it comes to controlling weeds and creating thicker, greener grass. Good homeowner maintenance practices combined with our program is part of the battle, but good communication is also essential in helping us keep weeds at bay. We do offer free reapplications for lawns featuring more persistent weeds, but we rely on our customer to communicate this to us when the problem arises. However we thank you for your feedback and apologize for not meeting your expectations.

After talking with several other firms we retained WeedMan and have completed the first two treatments; the lawn looks much better already and we are happy with the choice we made. We also appreciated the Angie's List coupon for one free treatment.

So far, great! The fertilizer helped the grass immensely. The weed control application started to eliminate the weeds. I received a call from Weed Man stating that they would provide an extra application of the weed control (no cost to me) because my lawn had so many weeds; it did wonders in getting rid of all of them. (I can't believe the creeping charlie is dead now!) The grub and other insect applications are not due to be put on until June/July.
Description of Work: My lawn was in bad shape with LOTS of weeds--including creeping charlie. (I'm sure the roots were in poor condition, too.) I signed a contract with Weed Man in late April to fertilize as well as control weeds and insects. About every three weeks, applications were to be put on: 4 to fertilize the grass plus 2 to control weeds. The reason I signed with Weed Man is that, to my knowledge, it is as close to organic as a lawn service company can get in Chicagoland. To convince me to purchase this service, the rep said when he's at house and garden shows he puts the product in his mouth to show how safe it is. (He said it doesn't taste good, but it's safe.) When the rep came out to assess the needs of my lawn, he said an extra weed application might be needed--at no additional charge to me. (The company's phone number is 847-459-9333.)

Weed Man killed half of my front lawn. I took good care of it myself for 13 years prior to last summer and never had a problem. In one of the photos it shows my neighbors lawn to the left of the fence line that is still alive.

We've only had two treatments applied to our lawn so far (one spring fertilizer and one spring weed killer) and the difference from last year is already visible. We're excited to see how the rest of the season goes and will be looking for Weed Man to continue next season!
Description of Work: Our lawn at the house we bought last year was a MESS; incredibly weedy, full of dead patches... you name it.

Weed Man was much more professional than I was expecting from a lawn care company. They send out papers after each service and give you a hand written section of what they noticed so you actually know what's happening with your lawn. They were able to make other recommendations but were never pushy about it, just delivering facts. I was so impressed that I now have them doing the lawns of rental properties. The added curb appeal is unbelievable.

It went great they shown up as scheduled and communicated excellent through the entire process. I would use them again however I have moved to another state I wish I could hire them in the new state I move to but they dont have them. I hope I can find someone as professional and customer service orientated as this Co. Also they did a great service with great results they know what they are doing for sure. I wish I could of taken pictures before and after results.

I will not stop until they fix this issue
Description of Work: About 4months ago i had someone knock on my door. He asked if i wanted a free estimate. I said yes because the kid looked nervous. I had no intention of using this service. Then for the next 2 months they continued to call me up to 6 times a day every weekday. Then i thought it was over, but no then their corporate office started calling if i didnt answer the other number. After another month i didnt hear from them and thought that was the end. Recently they have started calling me once a day everyday. I have had it. Im going to blast this company on every website until it stops. It got to the point that i should call the police for harassment thats how many times they called.

It turned out well. They tried to sell me something on top of the big deal but it was more expensive than the normal price. They wanted to sell me a package of like six lawn treatments and my neighbors were getting lawn treatments from other people that were less expensive by $100. There was an idea that I was supposed to buy the rest of the service. The service was good I think and there was good weed control.

Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback regarding your experience with our services, [Member Name Removed]! We like to think of our Angie's List deal as a 'test drive' of our lawn care program. Our regular customers subscribe to a 6 application program that allows us to fight weeds and care for their lawn all year round; that's where we can do the most good for our customers. Thanks again, and should you have any questions simply let us know - we are always happy to help!

The service was good. I like the guy that I dealt with. There was no additional cost to the $25 Big Deal. My main like was that I thought he was very personable. He stood up to his end of the bargain. I really did not dislike anything. I thought he was very dependable and reasonable. That was an unbelievable price. It was like an introductory price. So, I am not sure how much it would be without the professional Deal like having a larger lawn. I am sure it would be more than that. So for that, it was a very good Deal.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for Weed Man Lawn Care for $25 for full weed control and crab grass treatment. At that point, he just weeded and seeded through my place.

Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback regarding your experience with our services! You are correct, this is an introductory "test run" of our services. We do have a full, 6 application program that would take care of your lawn care needs all year round - you can find out more information by sending us a message here on Angie's List or visiting our website for a quote. Let us know if you should have any questions - we are always happy to help. We'd love to help you out this year! PS We do have programs that can help you get things "tuned up" if you haven't done much for your lawn - even towards the end of the season. It's not ideal, but it's definitely better than nothing! Give us a call and we'd be happy to help you out.
