Person not only didn't give me heads up, he showed up before the time window and texted me that he's here. I rushed back home in hopes he's waiting for me but he was gone and nowhere to be seen. I tried to call and text him with no avail. Both texts and phone messages say they don't receive them and to call the business directly instead. Finally called the business who couldn't find him and was told he took pics and doesn't need to come back. Spoke to them on what I wanted done and was promised to get an estimate that same evening. It's been almost a week and nothing. No call, no email, no estimate, no nothing. Unprofessional, extremely disappointing.

There were a few areas where I didn't want plants disturbed and they totally honored that. The price was very fair and I'm so glad I hired them for my job.

    We hired Lee's General Landscaping to do a total yard cleanup + clear a bunch of plants and…read moreinvasive species from our perimeter, then add medium bark to suppress regrowth. Our assigned estimator Kimball came by for the initial walk through on July 3rd. We walked the property and I pointed out areas that we wanted cleared and bark added to suppress new growth. He left us with a video of him walking the property and shortly thereafter we had an estimate. My wife and I reviewed it, and wanted to see what it would cost to add landscaping fabric and rocks to some of the areas on the initial estimate. I responded to Kimball and he asked for a Google image of the home with the areas we wanted the work done marked. I then sent him the requested materials via a color coded aerial image. Kimball then asked to come out for a second look to make sure his measurements were correct. I was unable to accompany him for that walk, but he did do the checkup. We had a second open ended estimate shortly thereafter showing what the added rocks and fabric would run per square yard. We then decided on just doing bark (simplest install) - no landscaping fabric or rocks, but in all of the same areas marked on the aerial photo. To be doubly safe, I sent him a second aerial photo marking where we wanted the bark. Kimball's final estimate included a breakdown of what 4 yards, 6 yards, 8 yards or 10 yards bark would cost to procure and install. He told me that they would start at 6 yards with our property per his assessment, and if more were needed, they would request the additional amount day of the job. 7/25/26. The day of the job. Lee's arrived, I walked the grounds with the foreman and they got to work. Late in the day, I got a call from Kimball saying that the 6 cubic yards of bark he'd ordered wasn't enough to cover everything and that they needed another 2 cubic yards to the tune of several hundred dollars to complete all areas we wanted covered. I agreed to the up charge and Lee's crew completed the job. About 10 days went by, and our very nice looking yard started to sprout weeds all over the place. Naturally, I was expecting to see obvious weed growth here and there pop up, but this seemed like a lot. Regardless, I got to work pulling the weeds every 3-4 days or so, added some more bagged bark I purchased from Carpenitos here and there, and as I tackled each section of the yard on various days. Then, they exploded. By the 6th week, we were overrun and I couldn't keep up. I did some checking, and found that for successful weed suppression, you need at least 3-4 inches of bark coverage to prevent light from reaching the newly cleared topsoil. Lee's quote stated they they lay down "at least 2-3 inches" of bark - not the gold standard 3-4 inches, but fairly adequate. So, I got out there with a yardstick and started measuring. Low and behold, most of the front and back yard had as little as 1/2 an inch to 1.5 inches bark coverage. The areas I'd hit with bags as I weeded were barely pushing 2 inches, which means they too were initially VERY thin. I then photo'd the explosion of overgrowth and sent it to Lee's general email with a concerned message attached. Kimball replied to the message, but he refused to acknowledge any error had been made on his part or Lees in terms of the estimated coverage vs. completed work. Ultimately, he refused to remedy the situation without charging us thousands of dollars more. We went back and forth multiple times via email, and he would not budge - not even to cover labor only to rake back, and remove the overgrowth. He also refused to connect me to a senior manager or owner - eg: a 3rd party in the company whom could objectively review the situation, stating that he was a manager and partial owner and in charge of our estimate. We were charged over $3200.00 after tax for the job. It will likely cost us thousands of additional dollars to remedy the overgrowth resultant of Lee's error, and for which they refuse to acknowledge or accept responsibility. I'm personally kinda shocked considering their reputation and long standing place in the community. We used their services for lawn mowing and occasional yard work in Seattle many years ago without issue. My how times have changed.

After few months of waiting he tried to sell servicing and maintenance instead of fixing. When reminded of his obligation to fix what was clearly not done right, he said that he will fix if he gets work on eastside. Agin waited few more months while the gap kept becoming bigger. Now he has stopped responding.

This was primarily the reason why we paid to have the pavers done. 1 year in and there are weeds already growing in between the tiles. There are visible gaps in between the tiles where the sealant should have been applied. It looks like the sealant work was not done well (check pictures). There are a couple of loose tiles as well, near the entrance of the backyard, which just points to shoddy work. Communication has also been pretty poor. I don't hear back about any questions or messages that I send until I email back again asking for an update. Here's my recent email chain about this issue. ================= Walter Angel Alfaro Wed, Sep 18, 12:26PM I'LL TRY TO STOP BY ONE OF THESE DAYS Jeffrey Johnson Wed, Sep 18, 12:28PM to Walter Thanks. Jeffrey Johnson Sep 28, 2024, 11:42AM to Walter Are you going to be able to make it this week? Walter Angel Alfaro Sep 28, 2024, 11:44AM to me yes I will be there today after 4pm Jeffrey Johnson Oct 15, 2024, 10:32AM to Walter what did the provider say about the weeds growing inside the sealant? when can you come fix the gaps in the sealant and the lose tile near the entrance? Walter Angel Alfaro Oct 15, 2024, 10:50AM to me I already spoke with them and I'm waiting for a response ================== This issue is still unresolved as of today Oct 31 and I have not received any update since the last email pasted above on Oct 15. Update 1: The rant about Nature is a bit puzzling. The yard was swept once a week as recommended, so pointing to that as the issue is a cop out for the poor quality work done on the sealant. Did nature create gaps in the tiles where the sealant should be? Is nature the reason for the poor communication? As a business you select what providers and materials you will work with. Its not the responsibility of the customer to get in contact with the suppliers you are using for doing the work you are paid for.
