The job was to take only under 60 days. They started in Sept 2013 and they call it quits around Oct 2014. Ben is a nice guy but only has one thing on his mind after he gets a contract and that collect the money! The bottom line is he and his grew screw up the job! They total my irrigation system They damage the stone counter top in three places Didn't install the elect right They install a demo grill unit as a new unit and try to tell me that Bull Grill the company refused to give a replacement unit when it would never work I contacted Bull Grill and they track this grill as a demo unit and they don't replace demo units. I got Bull to sent me a new grill and the contractor need install the unit but the unit isn't installl right at least the grill does work now. There are items the contractor was and still left to do but he refuses to do because he is now saying that he did $80-100,000.00 of work on my job and I only pay him $49,000.00 I pay him what he charge me for all the work to be done and now he wants more money to do the job right. I refuse to pay anymore money to him. He told us that he would still honor the 1 year warranty on his work and products used but that is not true. I call him last week to deal with the water falls not able get the shelve they put in to hold the rocks which after only 2 months have bend beyond used now and unable to get the pumps out for the winter as to safe them and he hasn't even called back. I got a lot of things that will need to be redone and will now it looks like we will be having to bring a law suite assiasnt him and his company to repair,replace and or redo what we pay this company to do right in the first place. We are hoping that Angie list will be able to get this company to do what they were contacted to do and done the right way. We will see what happen

Response from TURF DESIGNERS LAWN & LANDSCAPE
The contract was signed on 9/10/2013 after 5 revisions. The homeowner was informed at signing that his project would begin within 2 to 3 weeks. We also stated that the construction process would start that fall and would continue until winter weather arrived and the project would finish up the following spring. We shut down the project in Mid- November due to winter and came back the following spring and completed prior to Memorial Day 2014 minus a couple of small items to finish. From the start of the project, Turf Designers experienced numerous delays due to changes to the project. Turf Designers worked diligently to accommodate the requests of the homeowner but he insisted on adding/changing nearly every aspect of the project. (Some changes can happen on a project this size) The homeowner also had other contractors as well working at the house (new stucco and stone veneer , all new windows and doors, painting the whole outside of the house, new security lights and cameras installed) so Turf Designers had to work around and change our install scheduling to accommodate other contractor needs. The Project was also constantly disrupted by the homeowner and the install crew was constantly asked to change/add items that were not agreed upon stating “Ben said he would do it.” Due to the length of decision making/changes by the customer in regards to lay-out of pergola, column design, paver style and layout, kitchen counter top design, water feature layout, wall size, what to stone veneer, many electrical add-ons, all landscape bushes changed completely from first design and irrigation changes, we experienced additional delays to the project. Bull Grill: We installed a Bull Grill that is covered under the manufactures warranty. (The grill did not heat up to the desired temperature) Turf Designers is only the installer and we had to go through Bull Grills to get the parts. First we installed new parts that did not correct the original grill. The homeowner called Bull Grill directly and a new grill was sent to the homeowner. Turf Designers came back and took out the old grill and installed the second grill and it worked great. The homeowner stated that the first grill was a demo unit and in fact that is not the case. I talked to the representative from Bull Grills who talked to the homeowner and he told me that the homeowner did not follow the reasoning behind the first grills problem. Bull Grills has never made demo grills before. It was simply a bad unit that needed to be replaced. I met with the homeowner in September of 2014 at which time he expressed that he was happy with the project and I agreed to a 1 year warranty. At that time the homeowner had one final payment due but I waived the final payment just to complete the project and try to make this homeowner happy. At the completion of this project we estimate that our company is at a loss of approximately $15 to $20k due to the additional work and time added/changed, but we charged it off. I was very surprised to hear this response from the homeowner after our meeting in September. Since finding out about this issue, I have made several attempts via phone and email to contact the homeowner with no response. At this point in time I do not feel that there will ever be a resolution for this customer. Note: The homeowner will have a 1 year warranty for this project. This project was completed in its entirety as per our contract. Anyone who would like to see pictures of this completed project may contact Turf Designers and we will be happy to show pictures of all phases of the project. Turf Designers is a professional contractor that has been in business for over 20 years. We have many clients/customers that are very happy with our services/finished projects and can be seen on our website. We can provide references if requested. Thank You Ben Simpson Owner, Turf Designers

Ben was very responsive to our need for a free estimate. Though he could not make it the first day due to a scheduling conflict, he promptly rescheduled and came back. He gave us a bid for our yard, including drainage, window well covers, and adding some dirt. We a few bids, but, unfortunately, we did not go with Ben and his company. He did handle things well overall.
