Weed Man

I was with the weed man last year.
I did not sign up for this year.
However, last week, I got an invoice for the service that I did not ask.
I called them and the rep. saying that they called my home and got a consent. I asked them a proof for my consent, they couldn't provide me one.
The rep said that manger would contact me. Hanve't heard anything from them.

I found that CTV winnipeg actually covered this story about automatic renewal. I guess the new coverage was not enough for the company to change their way of charging customer without any notice.

If you are with the weed man this year, please make sure you cancel the service before it gets renewed automatically.
If you are looking for a company, never start with the weed man.

The weed man actually force customers to pay without a proper consent.
WE gotta make our voice to be heard. - send your story to local newspaper and news center!!!!

Our entire front and back lawn was in terrible condition two years ago. Weeds and thatch everywhere, poor drainage, and uneven colour and just plain lackluster!. Last year, Paul presented a proposal to de-thatch, aereate, reset irrigation and control weeds with government approved organic pesticide. By the end of last summer our lawn looked better than ever! Green, healthy and virtually weedless!!! His diligence and concern are exemplary. He stopped by many times after each procedure "just to see how things looked" . His dedication to his clients is a standard that few companies could match. Finally we have a fabulous lawn!

Beware signing up. Your contract is on a continous basis. Even if you haven't paid for the season, they still show up and expect to be paid. I had to call them and request that they come out and spray the weeds that were popping up like crazy. After they came it was o.k. for a while but the weeds still came back. I can do better myself with weed control from Costco and a lot cheaper.

i have called and cancelled my account and they still showed up and treated my dead lawn! i called their office only to be told that i still have to pay! very poor customer service. this is a very obvious cash grab!

I just asked a quotation for weed control service over the phone a week ago and today weedman showed up doing a fertilizer job with a $66.09 bill. I contacted them right away and the lady said she can put my account on hold but I have to pay the bill anyway. How can they ask me to pay for a service which I never order from them? Plus, my backyard is always locked from inside, so it is impossible for them to do any job in the backyard, but the bill quotes job is done for my entire lawn.
I should have read other person's posts about weedman before calling them for a quote.

Weed Man had promised they would have the lawn looking great and that grass would be growing everywhere if I were to get their full package. I signed up for it and the lawn didn't look any better at the end of the year then it did at the beginning of the year.

They said they would guarantee it. That didn't work out to be a true claim as such.

They did a very poor treatment, they said they guaranteed their service however, they did not do a follow up treatment. After I complained about their service and expressed my dissatisfaction, they still charged me! I did not pay, and canceled my service, reminding them that they promised satisfaction or no charge. I don't recommend this particular service as I spoke to neighbors who complained of similarly poor experiences. That is all

They handled my moms property last year and to be honest we didn't see any improvement in her lawn....still had weeds. So were not planning to call them...but they called us and keep calling even after being told "No". My worry is my mom is by herself and I do not appreciate calls after you've been told to stop.

They are a despicable company with no scruples or morals, they will not do as they are requested and will do you in at every possibility just to get into your wallet, the act outside of any legal parameters I have ever experienced or encounter and bank on the fact that you will not defend yourself, they bring new meaning to the term underhanded and disgusting, you deal with them at great peril.

After a sales phone call that sounded oh-so promising, I consented to a package with The Weedman that would consist of 4 treatments beginning in late spring and ending in the early fall. I did not sign anything. The first 2 treatments burned my lawn, yet the weeds thrived. Speaking to the technicians who apply the treatments is like speaking to a brick wall. They never conveyed my concerns to the "customer service" office. Attempting to reach someone in the office is a real challenge. The company called my home every evening looking for my business, yet their "customer service" reps are only available from 9am-5pm. When I finally reached someone (because I am working during their "service" hours), I got this long lecture about how the government was preventing them from using certain weed control products and this was a big part of the problem. I asked to have the service cancelled, though one treatment was outstanding. I arrived home one evening to find a technician applying the last treatment and argued with him about it - he left me a bill anyway. On the following day, the "customer service" rep told me that if I didn't pay the bill, it would be sent to collections. They read back to me notes written from my first call, which stated that "Mrs is completely satisfied with the service and is looking forward to treatments next year". COMPLETE and blatent fabrication. So folks, I spent close to $200 for a burned lawn and weeds that are stronger than ever. If I didn't deliver results in my own job and then treated my clients like crap, not only would I not be paid, I would be shown the door. This company is dishonest and does not deliver the guaranteed results. They get a big fat "0" from me on all counts.
