When Derrick cut mine and my neighbors grass, he was fine. Sometime a week to catch up in bad weather but that's to be expected. I then hired him to do some landscaping. It was a fiasco. I wasn't going to write him up but I just looked at his website and he has photos of MY house. Are you serious? The 17 plants in the picture died. (He did replace one.) He placed mulch above the foundation line next to the house which I had to move. He would not move a plant over that he insisted was in the right place despite the fact that I didn't want it there. And he designed the mulch bed around a tree that I did not want or have planted. Then, we get to the fence. The first time he installed the fence, which was to run down one side of my property line, the left side was at the property line. The right side actually came into the yard by a total of 5'. He said the ground was too yard. I then asked him to move the fence back to the property line. He showed up and started the work and then told me the ground was to hard to him to dig, he would rather just give me a refund. He then came and took all the fencing material and never refunded my money. I wrote him letter after letter, spoke with him on the phone and left messages. He told me his family was sick, he was getting divorced.... He owed me a couple of thousand dollars. He came back and sometimes when mowing my neighbors yard, he cut my lawn for 'credit' against his debt. I called a lawyer and determined there were several outstanding judgements against him, so I didn't feel I'd get any money if I sued him.
Description of Work: Initially, Derrick would cut my own and my neighbors grass. I then hired him to redo my landscaping and install a fence.
