This is our second year using them, and our lawn is looking much better! It is much thicker and greener, which is good and bad because I now have to get my lazy self out to get the thick green grass cut before I lose my pugs in it! I could not be happier with how nice my lawn looks, and the price is fair compared to other companies. They always call the day before they come as I requested, and when I talk to them on the phone or in person they are always friendly and professional.
Description of Work: We use Weed Man for lawn fertilization and weed prevention. They come out in early spring for the first treatment, and throughout the summer and fall. We use them also for peremiter pest control and lawn aeration. The price I gave in "Approximently how much did you spend" is per treatment, and may be higher or lower since it is from my faulty memory.

They do not cut the grass or anything like that. We have continued to use them because they just seem to stand at the top of it and our lawn looks great.

After having good result from Weedman treating the yard with fertilizer and weed control for 2012, I asked for an estimate to aerate my yard since the soil is clay and gets hard as a rock in the summer. It makes a bumpy ride for the lawnmower. I accepted the estimate in October and they said someone would come to do the work sometime in November. The technician called Tuesday, November 13 and said he would come Wednesday or Thursday to aerate the yard. He came Wednesday morning and finished the job. After he left I walked around the yard and saw that there were many holes and round plugs of soil about 2 or 3 inches long. I have seen it done on golf courses and know that is what it is supposed to look like (it sure stops golf balls from rolling very far). It also made it much easier to break up soil and plant grass seed in bare spots where grass had died. The yard is really shaping up. I also accepted and paid for an estimate to treat my yard next year. I'm very happy with the work done.
Description of Work: This company aerated my entire yard using a machine that digs out small plugs of soil to loosen up the ground. It helps the grass grow better.

After seeing good reviews on Angie's List last year, I got an estimate for treating my yard for 2012. The estimate sounded good enough so I prepaid for small discount and Weedman treated the yard for the season. The technician came each time to treat the yard with appropriate fertilizer and weed control and left a receipt showing what was done with a handwritten note of what was done and recommendations to care for the yard. I did not experience problems in more recent reviews. The yard is much improved except for difficult to control weeds and grasses. It seemed like many of the bad reviews were people expecting miracles from one treatment and not understanding that it takes a while to get a yard in shape.
Description of Work: Five treatments of fertilizer and weed control from Spring to Fall.

I thought they over-promised and over-priced. I have one section of my yard that has ground-ivy and they said they would come out and take care of it, they never did. Their prices for grub control was excessive.

The important thing to remember is if we apply a grub control we GUARANTEE against grub damage. So, if a lawn ends up with damage from grubs we renovate these areas for free. Difficult to control weeds like violets and ground ivy actually take consistent fertilizer and weed control for years for complete control- we definitely apologize if we over promised in terms of their control. Please let us know if there is anything we can do now, or in the future, to assist you and your lawn.

It was a very disappointing experience
Description of Work: I had a purchased a groupon for them. Called the. and they tried to sell me more applications which I expected. I explained I had a small front yard and side yard but I did not want the back yard done as i have dogs and do not want them exposed to chemicals. He said he would make a note of that. They set a date and the man came but left because he could not get to the back yard as my driveway had just been redone. I again said that i did not want the back yard done but he was already starting to leave and said he would come back. He called and said he would be here 5-16-12 12pm. He actually came at 11:15 am and he he was done b y the time I knew he was here. He had already sprayed the back yard. I called and complained. They didn't really seem to care. Said they thought it was safe for pets. I asked them to fax over the info on what they use which they did.LOts of health warnings . I am concerned as my dogs eat the grass sometimes.

Response from Weed Man - Cincinnati
Be assured our products are safe and approved by the EPA. Weed Man has been in business for over 40-years and we pride ourselves on the safety of our products. Admittedly, it is extremely difficult for a lawn technician to give an exact time of an application as they service multiple homeowners in a route each day and it is hard to predict how long each service will take. Typically in a situation where a homeowner expresses that they want to meet the technician we will send our owner or senior technician to do the service to ensure we live up to expectations. We do apologize for any mistake regarding treating the back yard if we should not have- and the technician failing to correct that mistake.

I contacted Weedman for a quote, and received a prompt reply. I did not commit to their service as I was in the process of receiving other quotes. Then a week later I received a bill in the mail. I called and told them I was not interested in their service at this time. The following week I received a call from Kevin letting me know that they would be out the next day to start my treatment. I told him that I had cancelled, and jumped into a sales pitch, which I politely declined. He called again 2 weeks later asking to start my lawn treatment, and again I told him no thank you. Then, 2 hours later, someone else from Weedman called with a high pressure sales pitch telling me they could customize the treatment to fit my budget, and offered me a "deal" of only 4 treatments for the same price that they were going to charge me for 6 treatments. Then expected me just to give him a credit card on the spot, and he would take $9 off the bill. Again, I declined and will be choosing another company for future lawn care.
Description of Work: I chose not to use this company.

Response from Weed Man - Cincinnati
Firstly, it appears we initially offered our 6-application program and later tried to tailor a budget program that consists of 4 applications. Each application is charged at a fixed amount, so, instead of being charged for 6 visits we simply offered a budget 4-visit program. Because the price per application is the same the 4-visit program is actually significantly less expensive (naturally it does not yield as high of results). In terms of the "bill" it seems as though either a quote was mailed to the homeowner or we mistakenly signed him up for service and sent a confirmation letter. One of the main reasons we sent the confirmation letter is to ensure a homeowner does indeed want service. We appreciate the call back to ensure we did not begin treatment.

I have only utilized Weedman for 2 - 3 yard fertilizing treatments. After the first treatment, I began to receive numerous telemarketing calls from Weedman attempting to sell additional services. At first, I thought the frequent follow-up was a sign of good customer service, but after the calls continued after I explained to the company that I no longer needed their services because my yard (new construction) need a total reseeding, I realized that they were totally ignoring what I was communicating to them. I was receiving telemarketing calls twice a month even after I supposedly spoke with the owner, Ben, at least twice and asked that he place my account on hold until I had a chance to get my yard reseeded. He and others, promised that they would not contact me anymore, but during the last two months, I've been contacted at least 3 more times. I even hung up on Ben while at a restaurant at 7:30 pm at night. Then, today, I received another call at 6:30 pm from a person named Kevin promoting lawn treatments. He claims he did not have any record of my numerous previous conversations with the Company about my account. OMG!!@@@ I can't believe I had to explain for the 20th time that I no longer needed fertilizing services.So, obviously, this Company has no clue how to manage their customer accounts and have NO RESPECT for their customer's wishes.

We do apologize for the mix-up. A sister company of ours performed seeding for this homeowner and we did mistakenly follow up with her multiple times when we shouldn't have. It also seems we may have had a duplicate copy of here contact information which explains the multiple calls. We are glad we were able to resolve the issue and get this homeowner back on schedule for 2012 services.

Aeration and Seeding was performed late in Fall season, but I was guaranteed that if I watered the seed and it didn't germinate they would come back out in the spring and reseed for free. I called in early March and told them that the seed had not grown in and I needed them to come out and reseed. They said they would send someone out and look at the job and get back with me. Nothing happened until I received a call 2.5 weeks later from the person that was getting ready to apply my first application of fertilizer and preventer. I told that individual that I was waiting to hear back from Weedman about reapplying the seed and they probably shouldn't be putting down any preventer at this time. He checked with Robin and he said they only put seed down in the Fall and refused to live up to their promise of Spring Application. I told them that I had been a customer for 6 years and they said it didn't matter. I terminated my contract with Weedman on the spot.

We do, in fact, guarantee our seeding work as long as it is cared for properly after the service is performed. Aside from watering, quality fertilizer and weed control also play a major part in success after seeding. Because service for the upcoming season was cancelled and we would not be caring for the lawn anymore we could not reseed the area. Had we been able to care for the areas after seeding with a quality fertilizer and weed control program we would have reseeded the areas.

Requested a quote for spring service to fertilize the lawn. Even though I made it clear to the representative I was not interested in the six treatment plan, the rep tried to hard sell me by mentioning it nine times and that if I didn't do it, my lawn would not look very good. He pushed to put me on the schedule even though I wanted him to send over the quote and information in writing prior to a commitment. It appeared that he had to stay "on script", regardless of my response. I thanked him for the time and will go elsewhere.

Response from Weed Man - Cincinnati
We strongly pride ourselves on ensuring we give potential customers realistic expectations pertaining to their lawns. Because of this we will rarely perform 1-2 applications on a lawn because in our experience it leaves customers with unsatisfactory results. We focus on building a relationship with our customers and making sure we guarantee everything we do. Unfortunately, the nature of weeds constantly germinating on lawns makes it impossible for us to guarantee results if a customer is not scheduled for one of our proven programs consisting of multiple visits. To schedule a homeowner for anything less than a service we can guarantee would give unrealistic expectations and be a disservice and unfair to a homeowner.

I pay them $59 for each treatment which includes fertilizers and weed control. They were wonderful. Overall the job they did last time was pretty good. Everybody has different issues. I called them and they had an open conversation with me. They discussed the issues and proposed a solution, and went with it. This is what I liked. I will use their services again in the future.

It is always the same person who comes. They made a mistake once and they came right back and corrected it. They don’t cut the lawn. They do our whole neighborhood. We had another service and when we looked around, the other lawns were nicer than ours. So we switched over. My husband was very happy with the price.

All my neighbors have weeds for yards, I do not have any. They have lived up above and beyond exceptions. I highly recommend them. Their pricing is very competitive. They call and let you know they will be in area, so you are notified ahead of time. They also always put a flag up to let you know they were. They owner will also come around to make sure the work is completed by his company and up to standards and see how progress is going.

I'm very happy with the results! The workers are wonderful to work with. Our lawn looks just outstanding! I switched from a bigger company who was using liquid treatments, but Weed Man uses granular which ended in great results! We have noticed the rodents and insects we had in our home in the past are no longer present. We credit this solely to Weed Man and their successful treatments. The price is approximate and reflects a years worth of treatments (6 applications).

Our lawn went from average to below average even though we have a sprinkler system. Our lawn looks worse than our neighbors even though they so not have a sprinkler system and spread the fertilizer/weed preventer themselves. Weed Man told us that we had not gotten the grub treatment and that was the reason. We got the grub treatment and....nothing. The manager did call me back and FINALLY came over to look at our lawn. Said we needed over seeding and additional treatments (thought that was what we are paying for??) He also said there was no sign of grub damage....I will let you figure out the rest.
