Allen Harris, the service provider/owner, left a sign on my door advertising landscaping services. When I called, he promptly came over and quoted me a fair price for putting in flowerbeds and paving stone. The next day he calls and leaves a message saying that he spoke to his former employer and he doesn't think he has the equipment to do the grading to be done before laying the stones. When I called him back, he agreed to just to do the flowerbeds. The day before the job was to be done he called and made an appointment to meet me at Lowes to pick up materials. The next day morning, I waited for half an hour at Lowe's, but he did not show up. I come back home to find a message that he is turning down the job because he is not confident he wouldn't damage the sprinkler lines while tilling. Totally unprofessional!
Description of Work: Prepare flower beds.

Response from Lagniappe Lawn and Landscape
This job was above and beyond what I felt I was capable of performing. The flowerbeds he wanted to prepare were to be installed over an existing sprinkler system, and in the vicinity of his air conditioning unit. As a new business, I felt that the liability of tilling this area was higher than the amount I had originally anticipated. I tried to turn down the job multiple times, but the homeowner continued to attempt to get me to agree to perform the job. After carefully considering the job's liability, I decided that it would be in my best interest to decline the job. I contacted the homeowner at the only number I had for him, and left a message saying that I did not feel comfortable performing the task he wanted done. I feel that turning down the job ultimately was the best for both parties, since any damage would have been an inconvenience to the homeowner, and could have potentially put me out of business. Better safe than sorry. I am very sorry that the homeowner is unhappy.
