We hired Anthony Dangelo from D'Angelos Landscaping and we are tired of begging for a resolution for unfinished work. He has ghosted us and we have tried to give him ample opportunity to make this right. Just some of the issues we have are listed below.
We paid for old barrier to be removed (it is killing our plants) and new barrier to be installed before rocks were installed in several areas. In several areas the old barrier was never removed and it's still killing for plants. In some areas no barrier was installed at all.
Anthony failed to inform us he does not know how to do hardscaping and he never divulged he subcontracted a company to install brick on end (BOE). The install of the BOE was HORRIBLE and left us with a mess we need to have it completely replaced. The BOE fell apart after three days. I refused to pay for the BOE however, I will have to end up paying MORE then the initial cost to have all the rock, sand, and concrete removed so we have it properly installed.
He still owes us a four plants that he has not made good on. One plant has died, he dug the holes for the other two plant and one shrub but he has ghosted me and won't return my texts.
They damaged our landscaping lights, two sprinkler heads and buried a sprinkler head under barrier and rocks (I had to dig it out). They are the only landscaping company I've ever hired that (by his own admission) does not know how to repair sprinkler heads/lines or severed landscaping lights.
It's understandable our lawn would be damaged in the process however, the 'repair' was unacceptable. There are still bare spots and uneven soil that he promised to level out.
They dug up sections of our lawn while doing work for our neighbor (they are unhappy as well and hopefully they write a review) and just left it unfinished. They damaged a significant portion of our front lawn while doing the neighbor's BOE (which has already fallen apart as well) and replaced it with sod that is at least 50% weeds. It looks terrible.
Our 16 year old Japanese Maple tree was severely damaged and I had to argue with him for two days to get some kind of compromise for the damage. He refused to cover the full cost of the damaged. He did his very best to avoid taking responsibility at all and had I not asked for some type of resolution he had no intention of addressing it or apologizing.
He was supposed to return to transplant several plants that were incorrectly placed so, now I'm stuck doing the work myself even though we paid him to do it.
We met with him in person shortly after his crew left to express our concerns and we thought we had a clear understanding. He promised to make is right and and return to fix all of the issues and in return we paid him and we stated we wouldn't write a negative review. It's been a month now and he refuses to return my texts and calls so, this is my only option at this point.
****Update****
Anthony Dangelo claims he has been the Owner / CEO of the company for 6 years and he is 24 years old. In reality he Is only 18 years old and does NOT own the company. He is commiting fraud. He is intentionally misleading customers about his experience in order to inflate his prices.
