Spring is known as a time for renewal. That’s true in nature, and it’s often the case in business.

For the local Weed Man franchise, renewal means new ownership and the investment of thousands of dollars into the business to help relaunch the brand just in time for the spring rush.

Operating under a new owner and management team with a solid reputation and history of success with franchises in Sudbury, North Bay and Regina, Weed Man Sault Ste. Marie is now poised to deliver the high-quality products and services the brand is known for and become the best lawn care company in the area.

“We have invested in new trucks and equipment for the Sault,” said Mitch Gammon, General Manager of the local Weed Man in Sault Ste. Marie. “More importantly, we are investing heavily in training and supporting our local manager and his team of lawn care technicians to ensure that our standards are met, and our customers’ expectations are exceeded.”

For over 50 years, Weed Man has been one of the most recognized names in the lawn care business across North America.

According to Gammon, the company uses proprietary golf-course quality products relying on slow-release technology that generates proven results. “The quality of our Weed Man products, technology, and services keeps our customers in Regina, North Bay and Sudbury coming back, year after year,” he added. “In fact, for the past few years, the Sudbury franchise has one of the highest renewal rates across Canada, which is one of the strongest indicators of customer satisfaction. We are proud of this track record and are looking forward to gaining the trust and confidence of property owners in Sault Ste. Marie.”

Weed Man’s high percentage slow-release granular fertilizer that is blended with the latest slow-release technology allows grass plants to feed for an extended period rather than feast all at once. This contributes to a healthy lawn, free of invasive, pesky weeds - the most common being dandelions and Creeping Charlie. Gammon said that ridding your lawn of such an invasive plant requires more than just a simple one-time application and is one of the main reasons we encourage a full season of treatment for your lawn.”

“Plants like that are more common in unhealthy lawns,” he said. “That’s why our programs that typically involve a combination of strategically timed applications of fertilizer and weed control are so effective and popular. It's harder for weeds to get established and thrive when you have thick, lush grass with healthy roots. Healthy root systems also ensure grass can survive the extremes of summer heat and dry stretches.”

The health of your lawn is not the only thing that matters to the new owner of Weed Man Sault Ste. Marie.

“The health of our northern communities really matters to us too,” says Owner and President Taylor Marshall. Marshall is a lifelong resident of Sudbury, where he has been operating his group of companies since 2014. A long-time supporter of several local health initiatives, the company recently made a $50,000 donation to the MRI campaign at Health Sciences North. “We are excited about being a part of the Sault’s business community and doing all we can to help the community grow and thrive.”
