On July 18, 2025, I paid Josh $200 upfront for a landscaping job we agreed would total $450. The agreement was very clear: the balance of $250 would be paid upon full completion of the job, which included mowing, weed-whipping (especially the front), and full brush and debris removal.
Josh started the job but never finished it. He made repeated excuses -- including that he hit a pipe, both of his mowers broke down, and that he was waiting on parts. Despite these delays, I stayed patient and respectful. I followed up multiple times, even through someone else, asking when he would finish. I got no response for days.
When I finally heard back, instead of offering to complete the job, he demanded full payment upfront and said he wouldn't return until he was paid in full -- despite the work still being incomplete. Brush was left behind. The front was not fully weed-whipped. Yet he's now posting publicly as if I'm the one at fault?
Let's be clear:
I paid in good faith.
I was patient and respectful throughout.
The job is not finished.
He did not follow through or communicate professionally.
Now he's trying to publicly shame a client who held up their end of the agreement.
This isn't about money -- it's about accountability and integrity. You don't get to rewrite the terms of a deal after taking payment and not completing your end. Posting online won't change the facts. Finish the job -- then you get paid. NO ONE SHOULD GET PAID 100% FOR ONLY FINISHING 75% OF WHAT WAS AGREED UPON. (SMH)
