The guy who operate this business is the biggest crook I have ever met; he also work as a landscape…read morecontractor, he would give you a low price and seemingly good deal on the materials so he could get the contract, but halfway your yard is done, he would ask for the whole remaining money to be paid up front, otherwise he would not work.
I don't know how he got his license, or if he ever got one, but no contractor should ask to be paid first then work, only the initial deposit is supposed to be upfront, the rest of the contract is based on completion of phases of the project, but he is famous for asking money first then when he got the money, start making excuses not to work, and finally, because he thought you are anxious, he pulls the scam want you to pay him full or he would just hang you dry.
If you don't follow his order and want to fire him, he would send you texts and emails, threatening your life and your property (but stupid enough to put it in writing), so I went and got a restraining order from the court to forbid he even come near my house.
This guy must be stopped, his workers had told me he screwed up many customers this way, but none reported because he either bully them or just took the money and ignore them because the customers are normally immigrants, so they don't know what is their right. He also screwed up his workers, normally those who really need works, so they get low pay and he just sit and collect his easy money.
He doesn't know landscape at all, in fact, I don't think he got his license legally, because his English is lousy, how could he had passed the test.
Be very wary if you want to deal with him, he only care about money, he don't want to do the job, yet he thinks the money in your pocket is his, nothing but a thief.
