On Monday, Dec 20, 2021, I called and explained to Tommy Solis about my home's landscape that needs to have a service from the front and the back yard. He requested for my address so that he could swing by to take a look at the yards. I texted him my address and I added in my text that I will call him when I get home.
When I arrived home, I called him and he came over to look at the front and the back yard. We walked through to show him the back yard and looked at the front yard. Then I told him that I wanted grass and weeds to be pulled off the ground and it needs to have a clean job. In addition, I wanted all the small trees on the front yard to be pulled off including the tree I already cut half way. He added those plants on the side of the front yard need to be trimmed down smaller. I agreed with him for his idea.
Then I asked him how much it would cost for the total of the front and back. He said that it would be $300.00 and it needs to be in cash. Then I agreed with him without asking him any offer because I believe this is the deal he wanted and it will satisfy him for his work and the money he earn. Therefore, I just wanted him to know that I really wanted to have a good relationship in his business so that later he could come to take care of my yards. On my cellphone text, "Tomorrow, after you removed all the trees and weeds on the front of the house, please also trim all the plants to smaller sizes as our agreement. I will have cash for you when I come back around lunch. Thank you very much for your work." He responded, "Yes sir."
On the next morning, Tuesday, Dec 21. I drove home during lunch time and called him. He showed up at lunch and started to work on the back yard at first. I also gave him the money as his requested. Then I left for my work. In the afternoon, after three and half hours work, he sent me a picture of the back yard and texted me that, "I am going to have to return first thing in the morning to finish the front yard. I am exhausted from the back yard today." Then I texted back that, "That's very good. Just make sure that there will not be any weeds left on the floor. Thank you very much for your hard work." He texted back, "Yes sir thank you."
The following days, he did not show up. I kept texting him and calling him many times and there was no response. My wife was saying that one you give him in cash, he would never come back. I had never had this kind of issues before, but I was frustrated to the point that I had no choice to text him that I have to make a report to the police as a scam. When he saw the message, he called and texted me back saying he has done no crime and he said he will come to work on my yard on the next day. Moreover, he was texting me three times said that he would come but he had never shown up.
Unfortunately, on the last conversation, he told me I am an impatient customer and he insulted me on the phone with his every single "F" words. I don't really know what kind of landscape this company is, but this is the kind of not showing a customer any dignity and respect. On his business card is shown, "Tommy's tree service, "Friendly, affordable hard work". But he is actually not.
Please be aware of this kind of situation you may run into! Thank you. read more
