My 2nd time to use this guy. First time charged me $700 to spread pine straw. This time he showed up and started the job without even agreeing on a price. Asked him how much is it going to be this time, he said everything went up blah blah blah, which is understood as everything Has gone up, he said $960. I did not negotiate it as I appreciate service and hard work. He was done with half the yard, so i paid him cause i had to leave for few. Came back and he said its going to be another $260 i said heck no, you saw the yard this time and the time before, you gave me a price. I dont like flip flopping. He said i will just spread the same 40 rolls which he used the first time and which covered it, 2 years ago, and it will cover it. Bare in mind i still have the old straw on there, so this should have completed the yard and made it thicker. Instead he texted me and said we are done and left. He left 20% of the yard undone. I called lucky's and they charge $810 per 40 rolls, he charged me $960, talk about helping small business owners, mistake learned. Am gonna make sure all my neighbors are aware of this flip flop business. I trusted him and gave him the cash ahead of completing the job, i should have waited. Also left a spot of oil which leaked from his truck, which he tried to clean it with soap. His excuse is that last time he swallowed a loss of 10-15 rolls to get me as a customer, never heard that till he asked me about the extra money. I should have paid lucky $1500 if they asked for it, don't like to deal with people who don't have their numbers together up front. read more
