On 5/9/2020, I called Rion Boren of Boren Contracting LLC Bonne Terre MO. I told him I was not in a hurry but I would like for him to keep his eye out for a load a quality top soil to top dress my lawn with. On 5/20/2020, Rion called me and told me he had a truck load of what I wanted and he could delivery it. He did and dumped his single axel dump truck in my front yard. The dirt was very wet and I was unable to tell the quality of the product. I paid him $250 cash. He asked me if I needed a receipt, if not he did not need to pay taxes. I did not see a need for the receipt at the time. As the dirt began to dry out I noticed it was a very non-fertile gray clay consistency. I took him a sample of what he had dumped in my yard and attempted to work out a deal for him to replace the non-fertile dirt fill for quality top soil he had on his lot. He argued a lot and told me it was Missouri approved dirt, which means it was tested for lead". He finally said he would be at my house at 5pm. When he dumped the dirt in my yard he backed off the road just enough to dump the load. When he got to the house, he handed me a paper. He began to describe how instead of coming in the yard from the road to load up the dirt, he was going to use my yard to turn around while loading and it was going to tear up my lawn, possible landscaping timbers and brick light post. This was not needed but intentional as a payback for asking him to make good on the deal we had original made. read more
