I am not a customer of weedman but I need to say they are still a 5 star company. By accident they treated my lawn instead of my neighbors which caused some issues with new seeds that were recently planted. After I called to complain, their manager got in touch with me very quickly and even personally came to my house to look at my lawn. They handled the situation very professionally. They were attentive and responsive and took full responsibility for their error. My actual lawn company came out to reseed the yard and they paid for the bill in order to compensate for their error. If my contract ever ends with my current vendor I will for sure be reaching out to weedman to take care of my lawn. They truly care for their customers (and even people who aren’t even their customers :))
I’ve used Weedman for years and have always appreciated their attention to detail and their willingness to come back to correct issues. Great customer care.
Very personable staff.! They announced their arrival… and knew we had pets .. so we could have them out before applying the lawn application.. Highly recommend Weed Man Lawn Care…
Worst company ever. They illegally washed herbicides down the sink. Illegally forced employees to go door knocking without permits. They don't care about the environment, their employees, or your lawn. They just want your money. They know they can always scam more people into their service.
Had one service done and when it came time for my second application everything went wrong. Started with having a technician on my property for roughly 10 minutes and claiming that he treated my lawn even though none of my on property cameras caught him... The first technician that was out showed up on all of my cameras... Still waiting for my second application that was supposed to take place 6/17, it is now 9/4. I attempted to get the situation resolved but the last technician/manager that stopped by 2 weeks ago said that he agreed that the second application couldn't have been done with the state that my weeds were in and they would be back out soon to reapply. I'm still waiting. Cancelled my account and I will never use or recommend this company to anyone.
Horrible service, don't come as often as promised, don't honor the original sales pitch price (even after multiple reminders), they say "let us know if you have any concerns and we'll come out again," then they wait a week and spray half hour before it rains. These pics are after five months of "service." Emails and calls are responded to with broken promises and more bad service. ALL TALK, NO RESULTS. Every communication I have is friendly, sales people are trained well to overcome objections. But why would I sign up for future lawn care when it looks so bad now.
Highly recommend! We have found Weed Man representatives to be timely, courteous, receptive to our lawn/pest concerns, and we are happy with the results of their treatments. Very glad we switched our services to them!
**Update- will no longer use this company. This year has not been what we were expecting. Constantly cancelling our appointments and our grass is covered in weeds. We asked for a manager visit over 2 weeks ago and still has not happened. Today the technician did not even come to the door and placed his sign directly in a patch of weeds. I uploaded a picture. First year using this company for lawn care and was very happy. Thicker grass and drastically reduced the weeds.
Great service
Straight forward business. Lawn looks good. Reliable and timely.
My weed man did a fantastic job this year! Highly recommend!
Great company and the lawn guys were professional and courteous

Takes very good care of lawn. Best one in neighborhood! Very nice people
Great customer service!
Quality work, professional and friendly.
Thanks for helping get my lawn in order. Starting to look great!
I was not happy with my service for 2023. They automatically started 2024 service and I said I would not pay. They have now sent my $95.00 bill to collections. I told a number of times, I am not going to pay. Not happy at all.
Very friendly staff!
Great service.
Today service was awesome However he forgot to leave invoice
Weed man s service made a difference in my lawn this year. Hillary is the best to work with!

GREAT JOB by Calvin!!!!!!
First experience with Weed Man and impressed so far! The company has been very communicative about scheduling and the gentleman who came today was polite, informative, wanted to be sure all my questions were answered and he did a great job with the treatment.
Calvin was great!
Very friendly and helpful
Weed Man has really helped my yard this year. Cant wait to see how much it has improved this fall! Thank you Weed Man!!!
My lawn looks like a golf course And the technicians are courteous and professional.
My technician explained everything and I was very impressed
Loving the way my lawn looks!! I have struggled with creeping Charlie and other strong weeds. Weedman has tackled it and it looks so much better. It looks thicker than a year ago.
Calvin does a great job for Weed Man. Always professional, personable and courteous. Constantly on the go - doesnt let any grass grow under his feet (no pun intended).
I am so happy with the service that I receive from Weed Man my lawn is really starting to look great!!! We had sod laid last summer and with 3 dogs it really takes a beating but it s greener than ever and less weeds than before. I am looking forward to fall aeration and some seeding to really spruce it up
My lawn has started to look a lot better and they have great customer service.
Awesome service. Nice and friendly, very thorough.
Very poor service. Rarely came on scheduled times and rarely came to address issues with the yard. Yard looked great the first year then dropped off every year after.
Very reliable and thoughtful always making sure that I am happy with the services performed.
The gentleman was respectful, knowledgeable and courtesy of my time.
Calvin is very polite and knowledgeable. He works with a positive attitude towards the job he is doing. Very happy with the service. I also appreciate that the employees always ring the doorbell to let us know they are here and what they are going to do that day.
I have been using Weed Man for just over one year My yard has gone from dried up weeds and brown to a lush green lawn
Turned my lawn full of weeds and dead spots, into a weed free and full of life grass that is really green. Appreciate The Weed Man!
I have used Weed Man services for several years, they do a great job keeping our lawn in good shape. I also appreciate them notifying us via text when they will be by for the routine services. I met Calvin and Jacob today, was great they stopped to introduce themselves while finishing the service, 2 great service workers! If you are looking for lawn services, I recommend Weed Man.
Great service, keep me informed when they are coming, highly recommend Weed Man!
The WM guys that came were friendly and attentive. They seemed to know what they were doing, and what needed to be done. They answered my wifes questions with clear and concise answers.
Good company. They answer all of your questions and do a good job.
Weed Man Lawn Care do a great job, my yard looks great.
Great customer service, easy to work with. Yard looks great!
Explained everything very well. Did a quick and efficient job! Our lawn looks so much better after only one treatment, can t wait to see how it looks after a few more!
I was amazed today.This company has excelled my expectations. The gentleman that came today took the time to walk around the yard. My flower beds explain everything to me. Respected, my disability asked me any questions that I needed answered. He was just amazing. I wouldnt encourage anyone to use this service.
My husband wanted a perfect lawn and I wanted to grow natives, so we compromised. He gets the front yard and I get the backyard. We hired WeedMan to manage the front yard and Calvin does an amazing job! This is our first year and the front yard is already looking perfect and free of any spill over from my native backyard
Friendly, professional, and knowledgable staff. They always give me a heads up when they are coming, make sure to answer any of my questions if i have any, and offer recommendations on how i can keep my lawl healthy and up-kept. Thanks guys!
Great job. Asked if we had any special concerns and was very helpful.
They are fast and efficient!
They do a great job. Always give us a heads up the day before they come. Our lawn hasn t had weeds since we ve started using them.
Our lawn looks great. They are very kind! Would recommend them to anyone!
We appreciate our lawn service and the professional way they conduct business. Calvin is so nice and asked how the lawn was and if I had any questions. He seems to really care about you as a customer! We recommend Weed Man!
Good price for the service, friendly technicians. Saw results after the first application!
I have had no issues with this service for many years of treating our lawn.
My lawn looks great and my guy Anthony or Andrew always checks with me.
We are pleased with their knowledge & only in a few treatments has made a huge difference in our lawn. Also appreciate Tyler s other suggestions to help with other landscaping lawn needs. Thank You!
Great company and they work with you and explain what they ve done and they give you more options that they offer. Would recommend to all! Thanks you
The techs were friendly and professional and my lawn has never looked better.
The Weed Man has been super to work with! Very flexible when we werent able to be home. Glad we chose them!
Great service...hopefully this will take care of our weeds..only had 2 treatments so far..
Great people and explained ever question I had and very helpful and took there time to make sure it was done right.
First application today, just 2 days after signing up. Calvin spoke to me before he started to explain what would take place today and answered my questions.
Great job taking care of our lawn.
As a new customer I finally had the chance to talk with Calvin, I didnt seem like Im just a number and it actually felt like he enjoyed his job and what he does and puts his customers needs on a priority list. This is my 2nd treating this year and so far its going lot better than the last lawn care service. I was nervous by some of the comments I have read on Facebook and at other sites. As a new customer I feel like I dont need both of my neighbors pay attention if they actually did anything to my yard i can see the improvement from the winter already. I am glad I didnt let the comments that I read deter me from using them!!
Weed Man came to the door and explained all the services he did today and answered all my questions about my lawn care. Thank you. Luna liked him too!
Had my lawn looking good after a year or so of trying to do it myself left it in pretty bad shape. Have helped me keep it in good shape for 5+ years now.
So far I ve had two applications done and my yard is looking great!! The wife mentioned how green the yard was compared to the neighbors!! I told her that the new company put down their fertilizer!! Weed man lawn service and the crew are very nice and personable they have chatted with me about what they were doing before they applied each time.
Received first treatment today. Calvin was friendly and knowledgeable
All the technicians have been very professional and knowledgeable enough. The service is great and customer portal is convenient.
The crew that came to my house were patient with me and gave me time to let my 3 dogs out before they sprayed. I believe their names were Caleb and Selena.
Quick and easy from initial call to first application and introduction. Very happy.
Very friendly
I just had my yard treated for the first time. Im looking forward to a weed free lawn.
Weedman makes my yard looks great!
Yard looks amazing. Surrounding plants are thriving. Communication and scheduling has been awesome. Management of gate and lock for a fenced in yard for a dog has been easy. Crushing it.
Fantastic and friendly service. Highly recommended.
I Weed Man Lawn care to all of our neighbors. We ve had their services for a few years now. Our yard is beautiful even with dogs and kids running through it all the time. Our backyard is surrounded by the neighborhood green space and our lawn care team keeps all of the unwanted growth out of our yard.
Our yard looks the best it has in years! Calvin is professional and efficient. We appreciate their services.
Weve been using them for two years and our lawn looks great!
To date the applications have done a great job on our lawn. The technicians are very personable and will answer any questions you may have.
My lawn looks great. Very thick
Always takes time for their customers.
Very professional and fast and the technicians really know their stuff about yard maintenance.
A++ friendly and helpful employee
Weed man is thorough, communicative, and they have genuinely helped my lawn look, fuller, and greener. As long as they keep up this good work, I plan on using them well into the future.
I talked with the lady from your office on the phone today. She was most helpful and she saw my problem with no problem. She called me back properly and she was very courteous and I think you have an outstanding employee there. My name is James Mcdonough and I have signed up with your service and she told me that I could expect the first one in a couple of weeks and she told me that I got my veterans discount and everything so I am so happy and pleased with Your Employees. Especially the one that s only been on the job for two days. She is a superstar. Thank you. Just had my man come for weed control today. He was very knowledgeable and very friendly but best of all he was quick because memorial day is a very busy day for this house. Explicit instructions explicit instructions on when I could cut my yard after he did. The weed control was just great and I want him to get five stars. Very very happy with this young man of course he told me he was almost 40. I don t believe it because he only looks like he s 80 but once again, let me Say he was great thank you so much
New account and first application completed today. Good advance notifications via text which included a reschedule notice due to weather. Employee rang doorbell and verified lot lines and reviewed what he was applying. So far, so good.
This is my first year using Weed Man for my lawn so I don t have a lot of previous knowledge of them. But, the guys that I have talked to have been very kind and professional.
Very courteous service.
Provider was very professional and polite. Service was fast and thorough.
Very knowledgeable, pleasant and willing to work with the schedule. Im looking forward to see how this works to improve my yard.
Our first service and Josh was very professional in appearance and explaining todays treatment.
Calvin was really knowledgeable and gave some suggestions on how to fix some rough spots.
Very professional and flexible with my home and work life. Great experience I would highly recommend!
Calvin was very professional and knowledgeable.

Great job explaining todays application and those coming up!
Great service
Great experience working with the team!
The technician was very helpful and answers my questions!
Excellent customer service and products. Highly recommend trying them.
Always great service!
I feel like a customer again, not just a stop along somebodys route home. Calvin came to my door, introduced himself and outlined the service I could expect, and then didnt disappoint. He actually pushed a spreader as he walked my lawn. I felt like he cared as much about my lawn as I do.
We are moving into our 2nd year using Weed Man, and have been very pleased with the service and results.
Calvin was extremely helpful answered all questions I had. He explained what he was doing on todays service along with future ones as well.
Great customer service- no pressure. Calvin is great to work with.
Calvin is a great salesman. He also takes pride in his work and has wonderful communication skills.
Love the name of the company!!!
Appreciate your help Bianca!
perfect service
5 stars
Bianca was very generous & kind!
A+ for professionalism
Long time customer. Our family is proud of WeedMan lawn service for their service.
Literally, the day after I signed up, they increased my service by 10%. Then, they proceeded to cancel the first application 4 times over 10 days for various reasons. During this period, they proceeded to call me and aggressively try to up sell me additional services. Finally, I had to cancel my service through their website because the production manager would not respond to my service requests. There are plenty of lawn care companies out there that will provide better service than this for a better price!!!
Justin S from Weed Man is the best! My lawn has never been greener. Great work. I love Weed Man!
Dont waste your time, we recently just signed up for the pay as you go services. They said they would be coming out sometime next week for a consultation and then next thing we know, they are at our house 2 days later spraying. They didnt warn me or my husband that they were even coming. We have a dog and a fenced in yard, that my dog was just out and about in when they started spraying down chemicals. Again, no clue what was put down because they never spoke to us and they never even said what they were going to put down in our yard. Extremely unprofessional. They said the treatments would cost us $70 and then charge us $150 and said oh we did 2 treatments at once.
Do not bother with this company. I signed up to have my yard taken care of and I ll admit they took the time to learn the details of my yard, pets, and other things. Today they day came to service us and they didn t knock on the door, or bother to talk to us. They zipped into the yard and scared my wife. Put product down without telling us what it was and how to care for it or how long before letting our dog go outside. Then left all in less than 15 mins. If my wife hadn t seen them we wouldn t have known they were there. Chemicals may say they re okay for humans and pets but that doesn t mean they should be trudging through it without caution. The time they took to learn about my home was pointless. We re first time customers and it was an Overall terrible first impression and I m done with it.
I switched back to Pro Turf. I noticed a lot of weeds this year with Weedman. Also, I received high-pressure sales pitches for extra services, which is fine until Ive said no 3x and they are still trying to sell me.
Have had there service for many years and very happy with results
Started using their full service last fall. My yard is looking MUCH greener and full this spring!
We recently received a bill for grub control we did not approve. We received no satisfaction from their office and cancelled our service. We received another bill in the mail today. I guess we will take further action. Dont waste your time with this company.
Yard looks great!
I switched over to Weedman due to the price. I noticed early on I started getting weeds in my yard, I Had them come back out and spray again, did not notice weeds dying off, I decided to watch them on my cameras as they sprayed my yard and realize they were missing half my yard. I called and made a complaint, I was assured somebody would be out. It was funny how they wanted to argue about the job the service guy was doing when they didnt even see the video, one of the managers came out to spray and walk the lawn. He did a good job. Fast forward a few weeks, i was due for another broadleaf spray and the same issue, half the front yard was missed again, I was assured it wouldnt happen again and it still happened Plus the tire tracks burnt parts of my yard. What amazes me is that they sprayed on one of the hottest days of the year, upper 90s, my lawn is stressed and parts have died off, very unsatisfied Called on 8-29-23 and canceled services.
Came back 3 times to kill weeds!!!
Our yard looks so nice. I ll Ethel work they put in our yard.
Colby and Calvin completed aeration and seeding on my lawn today and they did an excellent job!! Thank you.......Pam T
Updated Post Weed Man service in Des Moines contacted me and we have worked together to combat my problem. We still have a long way to go because it s thistles but they have been great working directly with me. I hired them for garden bed weed maintenance. 2nd time at my house did front yard only. I called to ask for someone to come back to do the back yard and discuss with me how to get back there. Been several weeks and no communication. My garden beds are now so out of control I think it s hopeless. I hired them to help.
I very rarely write a negative review about a company, but I can honestly say this may be the worst money I have ever spent. Weed Man has been treating my lawn for nearly two years and despite this, I have one of the worst neighborhood! Constant weeds, patchy grass, and a fungal infections... What the hell am I even paying for at this point? And the grand irony, every time they come out to treat my lawn, they put down a little Weed Man flag to promote their trash work. On top of that, they dont tell you how much something is going to cost before they come out and do it. Got a message saying they were coming out to aerate and seed my lawn and didnt think much of it as the other visits only ever costed around $60-$70. I take a look at the invoice and it was $400! For what? The guys were here for 20 minutes tops! Save your money and stay away from these guys.
Unfortunately, nothing has gone right with this company. They cancel on the same day and reschedule but do not follow through for weeks. Our lawn continues to have weeds and patchiness, even though they eventually come back out to treat again and again. I would recommend going elsewhere. I agree with all the reviews below as it validates our experience too.
prices up 50%...i call to cancel and im accused of raising my voice... seriously? this is customer service?
Started last season with weed plan and had terrible weeds called out for correction treatments over and over. End result my yard was killed with creeping charley and 2 other lawn companys said it is so bad the grass wont come back. Neighbors using True Green which I had prior no weeds at all in there yard! I have the worst looking yard on the block now and it was great when I used True Green the prior year with no problems! The manager came out and said he would make it right. I came home and they had over seeded the yard only the front yard and did not contacted me at all! I heard they are under new ownership as of last year and the expense is big from paying them for weed control that does not work! I am not the only one I talked too with the same issue. They stated that it is fungus which my neighbors do not have and obviously know they caused a issue by coming and trying to mend the issue by coming to over seed. Just got a call if I want to proceed with treatment next year I explained the situation and the manager said the only way to fix the problem is to completely redo the grass which is a huge expense.
Ive asked and asked and asked that they put me a do not call list and they JUST KEEP CALLING. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY IF THATS WHAT THEY DO. EVER.
I had Weedman for lawn treatment during the 2021 season. They scheduled more visits than what I had orginally requested. I had many weeds growing in the outer perameters of my yard, near my fences and near my flower beds. They spent little time in my yard...here and gone in 10 minutes. I asked to cancel treatments after October, and they went ahead with winter fertilization while I was out of town. The office manager is very rude, and she claims I never contacted them to cancel. I had texts as confirmations but did not feel the need to keep them at the time. Ive contacted them several times after receiving the bill, but in March I received a letter stating I had never communicated with them and they would turn it over to collections. I will never have them treat my yard again. I would rate them very low on office management and communications.
FRAUDULENT. I cancelled service with this company, two days later they performed service which I had requested cancelled. They expect full payment for a service I didnt want and are now threatening to send me to collections. They are also feign being a local company when they are not!
The first year a bunch of weeds died, and I did the Over seeding. This year my yard is looking great and is virtually weed free, all the bare spots are filling in. This place is great, and everything they use is safe. Highly Recommend.
Where do I start? Pretty much from start to finish I had terrible service. My yard had numerous issues, including large dead spots and weeds. I understand it takes time for a yard to come back to life (my yard wasn t that bad) but I was willing to be patient. Spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on weed control, grub control, aeration and over seeding and all the other services they provide. Weeds never went away, called them to do numerous comebacks to help the weed issue. They took 2 1/2 weeks to come out, even after they advertise they will come out within 48 hours of any issue. I asked them to meet with me in person so we could discuss details or even if I could send them pictures to show them the issues I didn t like and was told it wasn t necessary because they are doing the right thing. My neighbor had very similar issues as I did but chose a different company and their yard looks great. Bottom line is I was just another yard on the route, it took me three days to cancel my services because I couldn t get a hold of anybody. 0 out of 5 stars! trust me don t waste your time or money
They never returned my call!
I have been very happy with my service and there was a little mix up one time in the owner of the company came and sprayed the neighbor nice yard. I Creeping Charlie is gone and my yard is Greening up nicely this spring
We have used Weed Man for years. They do great work and care about keeping us happy. You can trust they will take care of your needs as well. Call them!
He never called
Excellent, professional lawn care at a very reasonable price
Kim Morris who I believe is a manager of some sorts has a poor attitude. Weed man hit my cable line and broke my custom down spout and they took no accountability for me being without services for two weeks and I work from home. The aeration machine made massive divot in area that it hit so it wasn t just a standard plug that cut the line. Sour taste after this and canceled services.
Failed to follow the plan we set up.
I am going to try them out this spring/summer.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE. We did their broadleaf and fertilization plan. After 3 treatments we stopped because it was ineffective and made our yard worse. When we called to complain, they were very rude and offered no solution. They market and pride themselves on being local which is NOT true, based out of Lees Summit, Missouri. Horrible company, do not use, we hope no one has to go through our similar experience.
I have been with Weed man for 15 years, started to have some problems with lawn, one phone call and one day later my representative Jay was out to see us, problem solved lawn back to great shape.
First year with them and I so see improvement in my lawn
Service is wonderful! Been using them for 3 years now.
GREAT LAWN
I just renewed my service after my past year experience with Weed Man. Significant improvements were made with the lawn and they always knew how to explain this thoroughly to me. I would recommend.
