Your Friendly Neighborhood Weed Removal Guy

Just found this new site mentioned on reddit for people in Edmonton dealing with shady infill or new home builders: https://infillissuesyeg.com

It appears to be a place where citizens can make a report against crappy builders to warn buyers, and push for better accountability. Not so much NIMBYism — just pro-safe, well-built housing for people in Edmonton.

If you know someone who’s had issues with construction next door, send this their way.

We’re not anti-infill — we’re anti-shady building practices. This platform empowers neighbours to speak up, demand accountability, and push for safe, fair, and affordable housing across Edmonton.

🌿 A Note from Your Friendly Neighborhood W**d Removal Guy 🌿

Hi everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and to share a quick update about this season.

Due to some unexpected health and family matters, I’ve had to significantly reduce my availability this year. It hasn’t been an easy decision, especially knowing how many of you were hoping to book again this season, and I’m genuinely sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

I'm incredibly grateful for the kind words and understanding I’ve received, and I’m hopeful that by next year I’ll be able to return to a more regular schedule.

Thank you again for your patience and support—it means the world.

Wishing you all a healthy, w**d-free summer,
🌱 — Galen

Shared from a neighbour in Beverly - Good to be aware! 👨‍🌾

Hi all! I just found this plant off a lawn and wanted to let everyone know this is Orange Hawkw**d which is a prohibited noxious w**d in Alberta. The reason I bring it up as it is a prolific and aggressive spreading plant (like 10x worse than Dandelions). It also uses naturally produced chemicals to inhibit growth of other plants, like flowers in your yard, grass on the lawn, and our beautiful native river valley species.

If you see it, get rid of it in garbage (not compost). More info in comments!

Hi, I am a SNAIL. I know I sometimes cause trouble by feeding on your garden plants. But please, don't kill me with poisons that cause suffering and contaminate your garden! Instead, use coffee grounds around your plants. I'll stay away, and you'll nourish the soil since coffee grounds make a great fertilizer.

If you see me stuck to a pot, don't pull me away; my protective covering will break, and I could die. And if you notice small snails following me, please leave them be. They are my delicate offspring with soft, fragile shells. Not many of them survive, but we are essential to the ecosystem and have an ancient history.

Help us survive.

Do the pets in your neighborhood a favor, and pull those foxtails! These can cause our 4 legged friends a lot of discomfort! I can pull them for you too - just shoot me a message!
