Caledonia Landscaping and Lawn Care LLC

Never showed up after 3 appointments. Agreed to return my deposit because they could do the work. Never returned it. Had to file a complaint with BBB and NYS Attorney General. Have a small claims court action pending. In my opinion, they are a complete fraud

My experience dealing with Caledonia Landscape and Eric Binnart is why Angie?s List exists. It was a horrible experience and no one should have to deal with a contractor like this. He was rude, inept, disorganized, and argumentative. He lost his file with my contract in it and accused me of taking it. We had gone back and forth as to the amount of the contract and after multiple delays on his part due to a variety of ridiculous excuses, he attempted to hold me to a contract for almost $1500 more than we agreed to. Only after I transcribed his voicemails promising to do the work for $4700 and after yelling at me over the phone and in my own yard, accusing me of taking advantage of him, did he agree to continue the work for the quoted price. After weeks of delays, his crew was completing the work when it was brought to their attention by a village zoning board member that the short ?wall? they had built along the sidewalk needed to be set back 2 feet from the sidewalk. Although the zoning code was very clear, he then tried to charge me to move the wall back. Not only was it extremely difficult and time consuming to deal with him, but the work is less than good. It looks unfinished and unprofessionally done. The space between the sidewalk and the wall looks ridiculous and is going to result in a mess to upkeep. I live in an old house in an old neighborhood where residents take pride in keeping with the feel and look of the neighborhood, and this work stands out like a sore thumb.

I asked them to help us with weeds and grow grass where we removed a tree. I had to purchase chemicals and seed. The lawn looks exactly the same as before their work. Still mostly weeds and still no grass (even with lots of watering an rain). Feel like I spent $450 + for my lawn to look the same. Also, they said they would come back to do the side of the lawn they didn't do, but they didn't show up. Did call me repeatedly to do landscaping they promised, but never asked about previous job.

The Caledonia team was extremely responsive. they did a complete site survay and completed the work within a week. They showed up with a crew of 5 to complete all the task. They were extremely efficent. The owner came by to inspect the work and followed up promptly.
