Overall the only things that look good are the front bushes. Dozens of small river pebble were left in the yard, as were large stones, which prevented the new grass seed from growing. Grass seed was planted in a 12X3 foot section of my rose bush border inside of the backyard fence, which Dave would not remove along with the many stones he dug up around the fence posts while spreading the dirt. He simply sprayed it with Roundup and left it to die, as he did many, many other weeds. The backyard is 110 feet wide and 75 feet deep. He took dirt filled with sunflower seeds from around the bird feeder and buried it by the new addition, which the raccoons continually dug up. The seed was of poor quality. Owners of three landscaping businesses have told me the seed used was commercial seed, the kind they use along the highway. Today what little grass was planted with the many weeds in the seed is dead, because it was never fertilized. By the time he told me to fertilize it, was mid-June.
Description of Work: Because we remodeled, Dave repaired about 60% of our yard. I had asked him to do the yard in April, but he did not start until the middle of May when it was very hot. It took him and one other person about 3 days to do everything. Dirt was supposed to be brought in to raise the grade and to seed the yard. What remained of the old bushes in the front, as well as mulch and stone, were to be removed. Yews and viburnums were planted on the south and east sides of the front of the house. Five downspouts and the sump pump pipe were buried so they drained to the front yard. My own flowers were removed from a corner in the backyard and placed around the new addition. Several old yews were also removed from the back. The brick border in the front was reinstalled as was some of the border around my roses and another corner of the backyard.
