Two years ago a well known lawn care service was treating a neighbors yard. Being I had quite a weed infestation that I couldn't seem to get under control I ask him to take a look and give me some figures. He came up with 4 applications of weed killer and fertilizer for less than I could buy the stuff so I said go ahead. I paid for the 4 applications. After two applications I suspended the service until the following year (last year). After the second and last application last year, I told them I was done and no longer required their service. Fast forward to yesterday. I get home from working at the land and there's a bill hanging on the door indicating they had applied fertilizer and week control. I called them today and after describing what happened they seemed to indicate it's a normal thing and they will take care of the bill. Of course I had purchased and applied fertilizer and pre-emergence about 3 weeks ago so now I will be mowing every 3-4 days. :bonk:

If the dlb application doesn't burn up the lawn! :undecided:

Yeah, same thing here. I was able to head my guy off at the past before he put the application down. He told me if I read the fine print of the contract that unless I explicitly cancel, they will re-up me the following year. All good now.

Steve-o,
I did the same thing last year AFTER canceling they called and said they were coming to apply. I again told them NO and cancel. Well, a few days ago they did call and leave a msg the day before but I was fishing and didn't listen to it. Also, wouldn't you think it's a little late to apply crabgrass preventer? It doesn't add up.
