It went well the first time when he wanted work. He came up in a fancy black Escalade, dressed in "church clothes" and said he would be back to work. He returned when he said he would the first time. (in a pick up truck) .He and his team worked hard and fast at first. He said he wanted to be the person we could count on. He had done work for several neighbors and it looked good. Then, he starts coming by your house periodically and says you need manure in your garden or something else. He burned many of our plants with too much fertilizer and said he would replace them. He claimed he had a "large area in his yard" that he would take the old plants to for them to "recover" and he would replace ours from plants at Stowe Nursery. He has pulled out several of our neighbor's bushes and she just has blank spots where he has never come back to replace them. He did driveway work for her too. He will claim he can do "whatever you need at the moment." He has never replaced our bushes. In addition, he said we needed manure on our garden this spring and that he would come back and spread it out. We had a lot of beautiful strawberry plants. He said this would insulate them for the winter. It insulated them alright - it killed them! He put way too much on them and never returned to pull it back for the spring. The only way you can get him to answer the phone if you have a problem is to call him from a number he doesn't know. He will tell you when he is going to come, but never shows back up. Quite often, his voice mailbox is "full." He is associated with a partner named Rodney Hicks (704-495-4344). DO NOT USE HIM!! He very polite and "convincing." In our opinion, he is a scam artist at his best!
Description of Work: He moved some bushes around, put out shredded mulch, put out fertilizer, pruned bushes, etc.

A nightmare for 5 months
Description of Work: I joined Angie's List specifically because of this "contractor" and need to spread the word. I'm afraid that many people will not see this post who need to see it, because Bob specializes in elderly people. He just scammed my mother. First of all, he is not licensed, bonded, etc....showed up two days after my dad died to fix my mom's house, which was in terrible repair-and started getting her money. He sweet talked her, promised her he would protect her and look after her, and earned her trust-and so much of her money I don't even want to publish the full amount here. She actually paid him up front and in full......he would do things and give her a bill-and she would pay him......once the money stopped, he quit coming, and as a result, she is not only out a large sum of money, but she will have to pay someone else to come in and finish what he started because things are in such a state of incompletion! Please, do not hire this person-and if you have elderly parents, make absolutely sure that they don't hire him either.
