Beware!
He came out quoted me $4200 for a new sprinkler system, new valves with a timer, sod grass, and a paver walkway. I didn't see any red flags because I've had him as my landscaper for a while now, he's always had his employees come out cut the grass, and pull weeds without any issues.
When it came to this bigger project, he rototilled the lawn, removed the grass and dug trenches for the new sprinkler system, but he only dug out the trenches halfway, so I had to wait another 2 days for him to come back and finish the sprinkler system. Mind you I kept messaging him asking "are you coming today" and he always said "no tomorrow" this is when I started to worry, but I figured maybe he was just busy. Another red flag was everyday he would ask me for more money, saying he needs to get materials, so I said ok, and sent the money. Again, I didn't think anything of it because he's always been reliable with my landscaping. Another day goes by, he doesn't show up and again, he asks for more money to get materials. I keep asking "will you be coming by today, what time will you be coming by" and it was always "no, I'll be there tomorrow". I literally had to beg for him to show up and complete what I had already paid for at this point. So now I'm $600 in for a new sprinkler system that hasn't been finished, and 1500 for gopher mesh, staples, and labor. I keep asking "when will you be coming to finish the sprinklers and install the gopher mesh". He said he'd be coming by "tomorrow" again, and that it would be done. He drops off a single worker, that worker was outside by himself all day in the sun finishing the sprinkler system, but no timer was installed, so it still isn't finished. I contacted Daniel the next day asking "what's going on with the gopher mesh", he said his worker got heat stroke and couldn't make it. I'm understanding, I don't want anyone to have health problems and work outside in the heat, so I said "I hope he feels better soon". Another day goes by still nothing, he blames his worker again. Days continue to go by and he replies back "my worker isn't answering, I'm going his house to get the gopher mesh and I'm going to install it myself with another worker". I said "ok, thank you". Still nobody shown up. At this point I realize I'm being lied too and taken for a fool. Still didn't get my sprinkler system finished, never got the gopher mesh installed, and I'm left with an unfinished front yard. I ask him "what's going on will you be coming back, I need my timer, gopher mesh, and staples if you're not, so I can install it myself". He finally answers and says "you got what you paid for". Which is basically an unfinished sprinkler system, rototilling, grass dump fees, labor fees and again an unfinished lawn. This is the worst experience I've ever had with anyone. Please be cautious if you decide to do business with him. Make sure you get the work done before you pay him or he might run off with your money like he did with mine. $2100 gone and nothing done. Thanks for nothing. Now I'm left to finish it myself because I can't afford to pay anyone else nor can I trust anyone. His yelp has a review that is basically the same. Beware! Beware! Beware! I also have all the texts from him to verify everything, so he can't lie. read more
