He is a scam artist. He will come over and verbally tell you good prices for the work you want done, and then when you say and quot;yes lets startand quot; he asks for money for plans, that are not plans at all they are drawings that he does by hand that no other contractor can use. He says they are architectural drawings but guess again he is not a licensed Architect. He also Will tell you that any money you pay for plans will apply to any work you have done. but he will not honor that. and when he comes back with the plans the price will be 2 or 3 times as higher than he verbally stated to you before hand. He is not even licensed as a and quot;Band quot; contractor to do anything else except Landscaping. But he will take your money any way.
Description of Work: He was suppose to do a pool, Guest House, Patio / balcony and gate entry in which I found out he is not licensed for. So all he did was hand drawn plans and charged $3,000 and said they were architectural drawings but he is not a licensed Architect either. He will lie to you just to get the money from you .

Response from CDL Landscape Inc
CDL Landscape has chosen to take the high road on this one. However we feel that we need to address the negative review without getting into all the details. We all know there are two sides to every story, and this reviewer chose to omit lots of pertinent information and falsely report other details. This "would be client" filed a small claims suit with the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside, in an attempt to "right the wrongs". The court date was September 17 2013. The reviewer / plaintiff addressed all his issues with the Superior Court Judge, after which CDL presented its more realistic side of the story and all evidence to support itself. The Judge ruled in favor of CDL Landscape and against the plaintiff. This reviewer also has a history of suing others. He was scheduled on the docket with another suit with another contractor the same day as our court date. This ruling apparently wasn't good enough for the plaintiff as he then chose to post negative reviews over many internet review websites. As if that was not satisfying enough for him, he text directly to the owner of CDL Landscape another antagonistic message about he chased more work away from us. Angie's List is about protecting customers from bad contractors. We, at CDL Landscape understand and appreciate that ideal. However, there are bad customers that contractors need to be warned of as well.

Chris reviewed our backyard and gave us some design ideas. He gave us an estimate based on our feedback. This included a solid , reinforced footing for the 3 block high wall, adding 4 kumquat trees to our slope with railroad tie border and a stepped down wall on each return end, He and his crew completed the project in about 6 days. His men were very thorough, cleaned up after themselves each evening and the finished product is a great improvement.
Description of Work: Remove and dispose of old block wall. Construct new split-face wall with bull-nose cap. Misc. landscaping additions.
