I am upgrading my rating of Weed Man to 3 stars because with the help of the Customer Service Manager, we have been able to resolve our problem and Weed Man has now provided the service originally requested (and paid for) and they have delivered on a promise to provide an additional service free of charge. The weed control they applied does appear to be wilting some of the weeds but during their last visit, they indicated that they would come back again to apply more weed control to ensure that the remaining weeds are taken care of. I maintain that it should not have escalated to a point where the Customer Service Manager had to get involved but it is clear that he cares about his business and does want to ensure satisfied customers. What they need to work on is communication - if they promise to come a certain day and can't, they should call and leave us a message to say why. The communication with us now is excellent but again, not everyone will take the time to voice their concerns as we have - many will just cancel their service and move on. Just some lessons to be learned but as of now, we are happy with the level of service that has been provided. read more

They have the best sales people. Do not trust a single thing they say. I promise you, the price seems low for yard work, that's because they do about 15 minutes of work per month. The company is a shark. Do yourself a favour and keep your shitty lawn. They won't make it better, just charge you $400 to do something you can do in a single 2 hour session on a weekend. They will argue that comments like mine are just people who didn't utilize their "entire" service like we should. However, what they fail to say to you is if you watch their people work, you also realize no matter how many times you make them come back, the shit job is not going to get any better. Your grass deserve better than this. read more

Absolutely no improvement on my lawn. Then impossible to cancel. A year later they still call and email me. Had to block them - they were relentless. -10 out of 5 is my review. read more

I would never use weed Man again, they damaged my grass so bad that I had to cancel them, the man had spilled a lot of product on my lawn and then tried to clean it up and then he never reported it to anyone I seen it on home security camera and the he decided to only treat some of my grass and charged full price. He ended up killing my grass in a more then one spot where he spilled the product the grass is dead in more then a 5foot spot. I would never use them again and do not recommend them. This is the weed man in lindsay ont. read more

Scam, CBC Story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMeBDsXIojY They were ineffective for me and $700/season. Asked about overseeding the gave an outrageous $2k price, then find out it's a $300 add-on. Didn't show on days they said they were, couldn't operate a gate every kid in the neighborhood can use. Honestly in Canada they never were good, now with the cosmetic restrictions they're not even effective. For the same price I am fertilizing, overseeding and weeding including the spreader and back-pack sprayer. read more

Don't use this company! Not a single weed in my lawn was 'controlled'. I understand that they are no longer allowed to use strong pesticides that would kill weeds. However, either their spray or fertilizer turned my grass brown. Their service included seeding but the few seeds they put down were pitiful (see photo). They were supposed to aerate the lawn but instead, they used a liquid aeration that did nothing. Worst of all, once you use their services, they will return each year even if you don't want them. I called repeatedly at the end of the season to say I was not renewing for the following year. Each time they promised to send an email to confirm this but they never did. This company is useless and unprofessional. read more

Disappointed. I paid Weed Man to weed, feed, over-seed and apply white grub treatment throughout this year but what a waste of time and money. Once the raccoons started ravaging the lawn in search of white grub it all becomes a pointless effort. The front lawn looks a mess. The initial response from Weed Man was, "raccoons are a creature of habit so they can return"; "apply Critter Ridder (a pepper based granule) to deter the raccoons". This had no affect. The only reason they return is because of the presence of white grubs. I have used Grub Begone for the last few years with a minimum of damage. Weed Man's product is supposedly better but it was much worse or it wasn't applied or it was applied but not at the right concentration. It is most unlikely that I will use Weed Man in 2026 I can do a much better job myself at a fraction of the price. Dave B read more

Caused damage to my grass !!!!! Sending out people who don't know their jobs! Got told to f""k o"" by a speeding weedman truck driver..who obviously didn't know I happened to be a weedman customer!!! read more

Weed Man - Seeding!! - Landscaping Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Very poor service - waste of money. I paid 198.74 CAD for weed control, but unfortunately there were no results at all. The weeds kept growing, and even after I showed their manager the large amount of weeds still present, nothing was done because they had already collected the payment. Extremely disappointing experience. I would not recommend this company. read more

It's cheap, but they dont do a good job or sometimes, any job. It would be more worth it to not pay rather than pay. They hire students who have 0 training and dont know what they are doing, For mowing, their guys sat on my chair for 30 minutes before starting his work. He finished in 10 minutes, leaving the grass by the curb uncut, along with not doing edging at all read more

Weedman is terrible. My grass is full of weeds and it was 100% better last year, definitely do not consider

hi there, stay away, horrible; these are cone artist, very smart business model - selling an illusion. They inherited my one year old in perfect condition lawn , in my second season now, it is ruined now. read more

Watch out guys, Weedman sales team and customer service is horrible. I signed up online. I got a call from salesperson regarding the service. He was pushy and offered me $85 service for $35. I asked him if he's gonna have fertilizer and weed control. He told me twice that he will have that for package. After the first application, I got my invoice, which was correct 10 days later I got another invoice of $88 regarding weed control service so I called customer service to explain what happened. They ended up telling me it was because second service is supposed to be dollars and that's what it was but when I signed up to include fertilizer and weed control . Had to go back-and-forth for like half an hour with manager manager was not helpful and she said I'm not gonna listen to your 20 minute recording to solve the problem after manager decided to give 50% off, which I did not accept, and I asked for the refund, but she was very frustrated like she was doing a favour to me by giving me a refund. Customer service really needs to be improved and sales team needs to be coached on what the service will be given in the package and how everything will work. read more

I used weedman for 1 yr cause I had some health issues..I never ever had crabgrass. Not sure what they put on my lawn but created so much crabgrass..I sent them a photo of my lawn before I had them and then after I used them..all they could do was tell me at end of year put dirt down over grabgrass and they will come and put grass seed. We'll 3 yrs later im still fighting crabgrass..would never ever recommend weedman read more

Just brutal. I asked for aeration and fertilizer. Guys who came out were rude and only spoke to you regarding upselling. Customer service is trash, they never want to speak to you or answer your questions unless again it's for sales purposes. So many other good companies, weedman just living off its name. Don't ever use them if you care for your wallet and your lawn read more

To me, Weedman has proven to be a great service to my lawn!! My lawn has never looked better, it is a lush green and they have already gotten rid of 99% of the weeds growing in my lawn. I have been taking care of my lawn, getting rid of dandelions, fertilizing and using weed control, but apparently these products sold by reputable establishments, does not work. I decided to speak to a Weedman representative, who came next door, a couple weeks ago, and the price sounded right. They did their initial fertilization and within 2 days, my lawn was getting greener that its even been!!! I am so happy with the service and wish I had started with them a couple years now. I would high recommend them!! read more

Weed Man - My green lawn by Weedman! - Landscaping Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I have lived in Ottawa now for the past few years. In early April 2025, a Weed Man crew canvassed my street ringing doorbells and dropping off their promotional brochures. I happened to look out of my house's front window and noticed someone working for Weed Man looking into house windows to see if anyone was home. I could clearly see one male, working in an area up the road, dropping off brochures at houses while walking across lawns and looking inside windows for occupants. When it came to my house, this Weed Man employee placed a brochure onto my front door handle. He then proceeded to walk over to my neighbour's house. This male walked across my driveway and over the grassy area between driveways. When doing this the Weed Man employee stepped onto my lower eavestrough completely crushing it. To step on the lower eavestrough, this male had to walk right beside my house. Close enough to almost bump into the wall. What made this situation more surprising was that there were no vehicles in my neighbour's driveway when it happened, so he really didn't have to walk so close to my house. While this incident may seem like a small thing, I had to buy a new length of eavestrough and replace the entire damaged section. This situation was disheartening, because given the location of the eavestrough, it appears the damage wasn't an accident but rather done deliberately. My security cameras captured the entire event. Given what occurred, the lack of respect for my property and damage done, I will never hire Weed Man or recommend them to anyone looking for a lawn care company. Unfortunately, at least one star must be entered when submitting a review. read more

They require your credit card information so that they can charge it whenever they want. I had a contract with them but cancelled due to poor service quality. For example, the Spring Aeration And Overseeding service took 10 minutes to perform on the 400 sq ft lawn. I wish I had read the reviews on all of the websites first!!!! read more

They give you generic lawn care, their workers wear the same boots/clothing from one weeded yard to another so you get cross contamination....furthermore when you cancel the service they call you every 48 hours asking you to renew despite you sending multiple electronic communications. read more

Poor value, for sales tactics , I have them on security camera after I paid them to spray for weeds and they completely missed 3/4 of the backyard read more

Stay away from this company. Do not open the door when they offer their services. As soon as you talk to them they put you on the list and send bills for the serviced you never sign up, never received, then send your bill to collections, which could be another scam. Horrible customer service offering cancel any time but still charging you. I would put negative review if I can. read more

After a year of using weed man services, I decided To look after my lawn myself. They harassed me weekly, to reinstate my services. I finally gave in as they made me a deal I could not refuse. After I paid in full, they did not live up to the terms of our agreement. I canceled my services and will never do business with them again. Now I understand why they receive such a low star rating. read more

Not impressed!. First, endless voicemails were redundant, all time of day and night, then showing up at 7:30 am for an unscheduled service, rang the doorbell and disrupted the entire household, on a weekend,,,??!! So annoying. I had to call to complain and make sure it never happens again.only to be told the work was done and to be sent an invoice later that day. All for an unscheduled service that I did not agree to. Terrible customer service practices. Just left me angry and determined to never use them again read more

I'm disputing services rendered for Organic Soil Enhancement on 6/20/2022 for $142.26 and Core Aeration on 5/9/2022 for $99.77. The dispute was initiated in August and services were terminated. There wasn't any evidence that services were rendered. The Soil Enhancement treatment, instead of a dense application a very fine sprinkle of dust produced no results, there wasn't an improvement even after the 2nd application. The Core Aeration wasn't done. There were not any plugs of soil on top of my lawn. Weed Man is structured as a Franchise. I'm sure if Jennifer Lemcke CEO knew how the Houston-based franchise was being operated she would be sadly disappointed. Weed Man is a nationally recognized company and did not accomplish this by providing shoddy service. For the first lawn treatment, a team of technicians came out; my lawn looked phenomenal. I really couldn't afford professional services but I made a sacrifice and hired Weed Man for the entire season. After the first treatment, there were no results. My lawn slowly declined to brown patches, bare spots, diseases, and bug infestation. Instead of a team only one person came and treated my yard. I terminated services, filed a dispute for the solicited add-on services, and decided to cut my losses for the other services. read more

I wish I had read the reviews before I agreed to do business with this company. They hit my credit card 2 days after we talked. Then all they did was sprinkle $10 worth of fertilizer on my lawn. Never heard from them again. Phoned numerous times and emailed twice. DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY MONEY. THEY ARE SCAMMERS. ***EDIT. The morning after posting this review there was a Weedman truck at my place. and a sign on my lawn indicating weed spray. Coincidence? ***EDIT 2. Not more than 1/2 hour after my first edit, there was another Weedman truck here. This time spreading what looked like fertilizer? read more

No stars is better choice. my dog gets sick for days after neighbours lawn been sprayed. Watching the warning signs of The weedman , but the sign is "SHY" - small and not every treated lawn has it ! my elderly neighbour got rashes, asked several times to stop their service . They still showed up unannounced . They could not answer about the chemicals they were using on the lawn ? Finally they were able to stop this service. 'I'm wondering if the products been used in for lawn care affecting people, pets - what it does to the environment ? The birds, worms can not speak up for themselves ! I understand business want to make money - but on what price ? it is enough environmentally damage we caused to this Earth - should be time for change ? read more

You cancel their service They continue to come and want you to pay I called to let them know I already canceled Still want me to pay Stay away read more

Used this company a few years ago and they did a so-so job, with some treatments needing to be redone. Each year after, they call early in the year multiple times to get you to sign up again. This year, it started in February with two calls within three hours. Too bad it's not possible to rate zero. read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. Besides for not getting the weed situation under control, they caused physical damage to my property. This was escalated to their management team, and I was refunded for the portion of fees that was applicable to the service that caused the damage. I was also told at the end of 2020 that they would come back at the beginning of 2021 and reapply their grass killer on my interlocking (from where they over-seeded last year - yes, all over my interlocking). I have now cancelled their services only to be told that they will not be coming back to address the 2021 problem because I did not sign up with them for the current year. Absolute disgrace of a Company and avoid at all costs. read more

We've used weed man for more than ten years in a different location. They were always great and we had one of the best yards in the neighborhood. Since moving and signing with the Oshawa franchise we have been terribly disappointed. Very late fertilization, no weed control spraying and NO AERATION. We now have dandelions all over the yard and I'm doing all the work to improve our lawn. Last year for them. read more

My personal opinion - avoid this company like the plague. Non-stop email and phone call spammers - totally ignoring requests to stop, non-stop calls = in some cases several times per day!... read more

I gave a contract to Weed man in March 2021 to take care of my immaculates lawn (groomed for over 20 years of hard work)and attention ) since we are 70+years old and this was getting to hard for us to handle. I use Weed Man because of their written comiment to ''take care of existing lawns and make them beautiful''. In May, my grass started detoriating to by june /july was totally destroy. We had several correspondance with Weed Man which advise me that they did not have qualfied people ( because of Covid) to check the detoriation and some treatments had not been applied on time. I had a terrible summer ( worst grass in the neighbourhood ) & my neighbours were horrified to see the damage ( photos on file). So far, they are suppose to fix but I have not heard noting from them.

As a new customer this year we have had nothing but one problem after another right from the beginning. We have had to make multiple calls to correct information on our account. Agreed on a date for service and no one showed up and had to call in again only to find we were not put on the schedule. We must be home to unlock gate for access to our yard so now we have spent a day being available to no avail. To think we are new customers and the effort we have to put into dealing with them is absolutely baffling. Worst part is when you ask to speak with supervisor you are told it is not possible. Very very frustrated with this company. read more

***DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY*** We hired Weed Man (WM) in May 2020 & by June we started to get brown spots on our lawn. By July our ENTIRE front LAWN was DEAD and the only green thing on our lawn were the weeds. -We got the "run around" by WM. We got rude customer service both by phone and in person by WM. We got lied to by WM. No resolution and now in 2021 we have to tear out our lawn & put new sod which is expensive. For a bit more details see below. The moment we started to see brown spots we advised WM. They advised to keep watering our lawn (we did) & they kept coming to spray. As our lawn got worse we kept calling to get a manager to come to our house. Either they would say someone will come but no one came OR they would say they would come between 9am and 4pm and when we waited all day and call WM because of the no-show they would claim someone came at 7:45am. Finally a manager came out. He was not a nice person, not at all apologetic and blamed us for the condition of the lawn. He also claimed that summer 2020 was actually a drought. At the end, he stated WM will aerate the lawn, put lawn seeds and put soil down -we agreed. When WM did not contact us to schedule a date we called them. They advised that we rejected their offer - that is a lie. We have been home owners for over 40 years, lawn maintenance is not a new to us. We were busy with renovations & thought that WM would benefit us. All they did was cause us stress, aggravation, time and now money as we need to rip up our lawn which is just dead, brown and dried & put in a new lawn. ***DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY*** read more

Just had a call from the Weedman....Corey.. who actually had the nerve to call me 'childish.' The reason being that I had a call from them two weeks ago trying a gain back our business. We moved on from them three years ago and are pleased with the replacement. When Weedman called two weeks ago and I explained that we were likely going to go with the same company, but they were welcome to call back and speak to my husband, and the guy hung up on me. The guy calling today called me 'childish' because I said that the last call from the Weedman was abruptly ended and I found that rude, so no, we wouldn't listen to their pitch. He said he shouldn't be held accountable for the behaviour of another employee. Honestly, who trains these guys! Do they really want your business???? read more

Here is a copy of a letter just sent to Weedman NEWMARKET regarding overspray into my mature perennial garden beds .... What a nightmare. I emphatically do not recommend this company. __________ RE: Further to the email below and the numerous pictures I sent under separate cover TO CONFIRM:Your head/lead technician - name of Kyle - was just here to "review" my complaint.He attempted to say that some of the plants listed have "leaf disease".   I emphaticallydisagree with him as they would not have leaf disease only at the parts by the edge/borderof the garden.Any idiot can tell that these plants have been sprayed and a portion, by the border ofthe garden, is turning black .... as is the majority of my lawn that was sprayed.  Kyle saidthat your product doesn't do that to plants.   Laughable.To quote Judge Judy - don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining Kyle.   I am not a novice, andhave been gardening for over 30 years - my gardens are impeccable and havebeen featured on television garden show.   Adding to this; I have been sharing garden pictureson social media in garden groups and publicly since the spring WITH PRIDE ; there is no "leaf disease".The many gardeners who have visited my garden over this season will well attest to that FACT.TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM:  I hired WeedMan to eradicate the ground ivy/creeping charliethat has been spreading rampantly thorughout the garden - and I discussed this and reviewedit EXPLICITLY with your sales agent.   NOW - I have no grass left whatsoever - and there is nothingBUT creeping charlie.   The soloution "Aidan" (the novice ill-trained technician who sprayed) used was ,in my opinion, WAY TOO STRONG.I would like your company to remedy this an lay down grass seed in order to restore the grassthat has been fried by the chemical as now I have nothing left.  UGH.To close this "investigation", Kyle offered me a $25 gift certificate and I laughed at the ridiculousnessof such a suggestion.  One echinacea alone is $19.99 at the Home Depot.  Afterdiscussion, he then suggested I  replace the plantsf from the nursery of my choice and provide WeedMan with aninvoice and they would re-imburse me,.As previously delineated the damaged perennials include LARGE:Perennial Oregano, Lady's Mantle, Wild Geranium, Margeurite Daisies, Echinacea,a brand new Hydrangea Shrub, Comfrey, Cayenne Yarrow, and two clumps of miniatureDaylilllies .....I told Kyle that I will not be incurring such an added expense (not to mention the upset and distress caused)to replace these plants with absolutely no guaranteethat I WILL be compensated given the customer service "to date" .  Weedman doesn't even havebusiness cards or anything BUT a single telephone number to a general call center for goodness sakes!So I told him that I will provide a quote from the nursery of my choice to replace the damaged plants,and he said that would be find and there should be no problem having WeedMan provide me a giftcard in advance so that I may replace the plants.   My guesstimate in advance is that we are looking atapprox. $200 - $250 (given that a hydrangea is upwards of $40 and my hydrageas is TOAST!).As this is a ridiculously busy time of year for me and my time (already so much of it taken up withthis utter non-sense) is limited - I will endeavour to provide you with a formal quote over the next few weeks.In the meantime - I suggest you review with your technicians proper care, etiquette, and respect ofyour customers beloved perennial gardens which they clearly have zero respect for. read more

End of the line, DO NOT use their service. I got them to take care of my lawn for last summer and 0% result. As a normal customer, of course I will not go back to them again. This summer, they ended up harassing me with one phone call a week and selling me packages. I told them I wanted to speak with the manager and they ended up hanging up and calling me the following week. Is this a joke? these guys are also a SCAM! they come back and do the service on your lawn and bill you without your consent! I didn't even know that they put chemicals on my lawn and I let my dog out in the backyard to play.... Please look at the link below on weed man that CBC did on how they scam people. Like I said before, DO NOT use their service. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMeBDsXIojY read more

Today I requested a quote to kill the creeping charlie on my lawn. Within an hour they sent an email back but, instead of a quote, they sent a "renewal contract". Just to be clear, I have never done any business with them in the past. Also, the service they had in their contract had NOTHING TO DO WITH MY QUOTE REQUEST. The contract seem to assume that they were allowed to do the service and they would just send me the bill. I sent back a couple of emails making it clear that I did not authorize any work to be performed. I haven't heard a response yet. From reading the other reviews here, I expect their folks to show up in the next couple of days to do the service despite that fact that I refused it. It seems like a scam to me. read more

This company is BRUTAL- I signed up with weedman with the assurance from the sales agent I could call back and cancel before the first treatment was done without penalty. This is what I did as I found a more reasonably priced lawn company. 3 days after I cancelled I look outside and they are fertilizing my lawn. I ran outside and asked that they stop as I had a new lawn company starting in the same week. I then called customer service and they indicated they had notes that I had cancelled but forgot to initiate the cancellation but there would be no fee. Funny enough I get a bill in the mailbox the next week! I still have much back and forth left with them before this is a resolved. Save your time and money as these people are crooks. I have never felt the need to write such a bad review but I feel people must be warned. read more
