I have used Snyder's Weed Control for many years. They were referred to us by some neighbors in our Community. When you call for an appointment, you actually don't get one right away - but they do call you the day before when they will be in your area...works for me.
The technician arrives on time and gets the job done. They coat my entire property with the pre-emerge and do not cut corners anywhere...again, they spray the entire property and spray it well. My job is to wait 48 hours and then water down the entire property for the solution to sink into the ground to keep new weeds from growing. You wait the 48 hours so that the weeds that are above the ground die off.
The reason for the 4 stars .... I skipped a year (2014) with Mr. Snyder as I had new weed growth within my 1 year warranty that I had paid about 160.00? for. The warranty is that they will come and spray where weeds have grown or re-grown within the year time. On the FRONT of my agreement it stated 1 year warranty ......in the civilized world, 1 year - as I recall - has always been 52 weeks. In the Snyder world - on the BACK of my guarantee...in very small print ...a 1 year warranty is only 49 weeks. When I called, I was told to read the back of my contract to which I countered that the FRONT says the words 1 year warranty. I was ONE week past my 49 weeks and they refused to come and re-spray. I insisted that it was pretty shady as well as false advertisement and it was only ONE WEEK - yes, 50 WEEKS!! The FRONT of the contract should state 49 week warranty alongside the other offer that they have printed on the front - the 6 month warranty . Mr Snyder and I did not see eye to eye on what the world has written in the books as what a year consists of and what he has decided what a year consists of. The FRONT of the warranty stated should state EXACTLY what the BACK of the warranty states! He had a chuckle in his voice, however I was not amused as I had been a customer for so many years. I contacted my HOA president as so many of our residents used Snyders. I'm guessing he placed a call and Mr Snyder was a little more humble, but would not respray. To date, the contract STILL says one year warranty on the front of it and 49 week warranty on the back!!
I used a different weed control company in 2014 (see my review with photos on Burns Pest and Weed Elimination - they actually ruined my lawn....killed a fair amount of my grass and I still had weeds growing which they never took care of )......so much to my husbands insistence, we are back with Snyder's, my weeds are dead, my lawn is alive and all is forgiven.
Again, just be mindful that 1 year = 49 weeks in the Snyder World .....if you're ok with that - they are definitely one to use for weed control.
