Northern Landscaping

Mr. Coolbeth was very unprofessional during our short contact with him. He arrived one hour before the allotted time which was inconvenient and dumped his load of wood 70 feet from the agreed upon location. He insisted to be paid before the load was dumped and did not offer a receipt. He did however insist we pay in cash, which we did. After the wood was moved (by us) to the proper location and stacked in 4 x 4 x 8 stacks, we ended up with 1 full cord and 1/4 of a cord. Calls to Mr. Coolbeth regarding this obvious shortage were not answered and messages were never returned. We are now stuck with having to purchase another cord of firewood to get us through the winter, with little extra funds to cover the cost. In addition to the load being extremely light, many of the logs were over the 18" length Mr. Coolbeth promised us and had to be cut down. There were also many knotty pieces which will be a difficult fit for our stove. I would never recommend this business to anyone. He is not trustworthy or honorable.

Last Friday (Oct 7, 2011), he did not show up or call even though I called the night before and left a message to confirm the delivery. Yesterday (Oct 13, 2011) I called again to ask if the rain would prevent delivery, I was assured that the wood would be delivered. I told Joshua that I don't mind if the yard got a little torn up but needed the wood dumped up the hill and it was his call. Today (Oct 14, 2011) he showed up an hour before the scheduled time, while I was still at work, took the money then dumped the wood a the bottom of my yard, 100 feet from where I wanted it and will be stacking it. My wife tried to stop him but he told her it was the best he could do , dumped it anyway, and drove off.
