"Please read this carefully before this happens to you! The week of February 20th a Weed Man representative personally visited my home. He identified himself and asked if I would like a quote for my lawn service. I told him I had a service for the last 2 years and I would consider if they could be price competitive. I gave him my email address, and he walked around my property and left. On February 22 I received a quote via email labeled Weed Man â Promises Kept. I was satisfied with the quote, so I called my current lawn services and told them I no longer needed their service. I signed up with Weed Man and paid in full for the yearly service of 6 applications. On 4-13-23 they performed my first service, and everything went well. Later that day I received a phone call from a Weed Man representative. My first thought was they wanted to thank me for my business but that was far from the truth. She told me they could not service my property unless I paid them more money. As I stated earlier, I had already paid for the full year. There is only one word that can describe the business practice of Extortion. I told her I had paid for the year and expected them to honor their contract with me. She told me she needed to speak to upper management and would call me back. That call never came and the following week I attempted to log onto the Weed Man website to view my account. It gave me a message that my account was not active. I called the phone number listed on my quote and was told my account was canceled 2 days prior. I asked to be called back by someone in management. 2 days later I did receive a call and was told it was being recorded. I was clear I was not happy with their extortion practices to get me to pay more than my written paid quote. She told me they could not service my lawn for the quoted price. She canceled my service and told me my full amount would be refunded. I asked them again to honor their paid contract and if they wanted more money they could ask for that next year and let me decide if I wanted to keep their service at a higher price but they refused. It has now been 2 weeks and my account is still canceled and no money has been refunded."

"This was our worst Angie's List experience to date (and we've used a lot of Angie's list services). Terrible service, didn't use basic common sense not to spray flowers and garden, were fired same season, kept coming back next season after multiple calls telling them we don't want their services. Kept trying to send us bills for those services when they were fired almost a year ago and multiple complaints/phone conversations telling them never to come back."

Nothing makes a home or business look better than a beautifully maintained lawn. That’s why Lawns R Us has committed itself to offering a wide range of landscaping services throughout the wonderful city of Pewaukee, Wisconsin. From installing large commercial landscapes to creating small intimate gardens, Lawns R Us will get it done on time and on budget.

"We signed a contract with them to do our landscaping in the Spring of 2019 as their quote was fair and they seemed knowledgeable and professional. Then, we never heard from them on the start of our landscaping. After several attempts to connect with them our voicemails and calls were unanswered. When we did finally connect with someone they would either have to call us back or we were next on the list. Several follow ups and they finally came out and did our landscaping later in the summer. Now we have a low spot on the side of our house where grass never grew, a dead tree and dead flowers that are under warranty and after reporting this to them months ago, here we sit. We were promised someone would be out last week to rectify and now we can’t even get a hold of anyone. We are frustrated beyond belief with this business!"

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

First, make sure you’re watering your grass early in the morning (and keep in mind you don’t have to water every day). Doing this helps ensure the water is able to soak in before the hot temps evaporate all of the water. Also, when you mow, don’t mow your grass as short as you would in non-drought conditions. Taller grass can help slow down the rate at which soil dries out. Finally, take your leftover lawn clippings and spread them out across the lawn to give it a little extra shade and nutrients.

Depending on the lawn treatments, the best times of the year to redo your lawn are between mid-August and mid-September for overseeding and renovation treatments. For areas such as the southern United States, lawn aeration works best during the fall, when the temperatures begin to drop. Otherwise, early spring is your next best bet because the grass is fresh and ready to absorb nutrients, and the temperature isn’t hot enough to fry the grass and the renovation materials.

The quickest way to kill weeds is to burn them, pour boiling water on them, or pull them out by hand. Each of these methods works instantaneously. Beyond that, using vinegar for grass works in a couple of hours, as do herbicides you can buy at the store. The slowest way to kill weeds is to starve them of nutrients and sunlight with mulch or fabric covers.

Costs depend on property size, service frequency, and additional tasks like aeration or overseeding.

First, you should figure out whether you have dormant or dead grass. Dead grass won’t come back, so you’ll have to reseed if you’re hoping for a lush lawn. However, grass can go dormant if it hasn’t received enough water or if temperatures are too cold. If it’s still decently warm outside, you can revive dormant grass by watering it. But if it’s mid-January in New England, for example, you’ll need to wait until the weather warms up again. If you want to keep grass green in winter, consider a grass like Kentucky bluegrass, which maintains its color year-round.
