Beware. We hired Trevor Tupy / Trevor's Landscaping for a residential pergola/tree project in…read moreLebanon, NJ. The quote was for $33,745, and we paid a $7,000 deposit by Zelle in May 2026. Before any work began, we cancelled in writing on May 11 and May 12, 2026, and specifically told him not to place orders, make purchases, apply for permits, schedule work, or perform work. No work was performed at our property.
Since then, we have repeatedly asked for the deposit back. Trevor repeatedly promised updates, a check, Zelle payment, or bank/account arrangements, including saying a check would be dropped off June 2 and later saying payment would be ready June 17. As of July 7, 2026, he has not returned any of the $7,000.
I have the quote, deposit receipts, bank/Zelle proof, text messages, and call logs documenting this. I also filed a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, which confirmed that my complaint is under review. I am sharing this so other homeowners are careful before paying a large deposit.
