Kellys All Pro Landscaping

Cape May and Atlantic counties BEWARE. DO NOT USE THIS CONTRACTOR!!! Here’s why…After weeks of texting/calling to get the job scheduled and completed, Don Kelly overcharged me by leaving one of my payments off the final bill. After a week, he finally agreed to a refund. On 11/8/24, he texted me a copy of the check and mailing envelope. I haven't received it and he isn't answering my texts or calls. Fraud, Theft or Both? Definitely not a mistake or it would’ve been resolved by now.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! I haired Don Kelly landscaping to install a paver patio and do some landscaping. A job which should have taken 3 weeks ...took 13 weeks. Excuse after excuse on why it was taking so long. Poor communication. Contracts out work ..which is piece meal. Cut my loses after patio did not use for landscaping.

The worst contractor I have dealt with in 35 years. They started the job working 3 -4 hours a day. Then they just stop showing up. Took a 50% deposit and left us with a lot of work unfinished. They just stopped working. No phone call, no email, no notice. Owner never answers his phone or text. Fence and gates installed incorrect. We failed our home inspection. Delays cost us a lot of money we will never get back.

Work performed in spring 2016. Almost immediately we noticed water stains below the deck in the laundry room. Not sure if it was from previous decking I caulked the edges of the new deck continuously over the next several months and following year thinking it was our door or the ledger board they installed against the shingles. After 18 months I requested Home Advisor to send a couple of roofing contractors to see if they could help me locate/fix the issue. Both said the deck wasn't installed correctly as the deck needs to start under the shingles and tar paper not a ledger board screwed into the shingles. Well it's almost been a month now (tomorrow) when I first called Kelly's Landscaping concerning the leak. For weeks now they have promised to have a (sub)contractor there either during the week or weekend. We are now do for a N'oreastern storm this weekend in NJ and this not being fixed is going to cause major damage to the ceiling below and adding to the mold problem. The contractor plays the game of having a"full" voicemail box on his cell phone so he doesn't have to talk to you in person (an old contractor trick). So I have to text him on his cell or leave a message at the office number. Every week he promises to have someone out but hasn't delivered.

We pay for the season, probably like $2,500 for everything for the season.

YOU NAME IT. from employees urinating & defecating in our yard to his unlicensed employees driving his unregisterd truck into our pool. The man is an a** and should be stopped. Most of his employees are non tax paying individuals. (all the same ss#'s) never returns a call, never does what he claims he can do. (all with bragging about how much he has)
