I'm very pleased with what this company has provided me. The quality of the work is well above other lawn care services around my area. I would highly recommend this company to others. They always kept me up to date with what was going on with my lawn and would also offer me some pointers along the way on how to make it healthier and maintain. I will continue to do business with Weed Man in the future. Keep up the good work!

Weed Man does a great job of getting rid of my weeds. I have had them for several years and I have always been happy with their service. They also provide written advice on any problem lawn areas they come across while spraying for weeds or fertilizing. Zack from Weed Man came back and sprayed a second time for free when he discovered a problem area of the lawn. Keep up the great work Weed Man.
