After agreeing to a price for service, company quit when someone else was hired to finish mulch work. Prices paid for clean-up and mulching were much higher than average but I accepted based on total cost for season. After no communication for almost two weeks, was emailed to be informed that he would not be doing weekly maintenance. He was found on craigslist and was fully aware that I looked at work as per hour for labor. When mulching job expanded and he did NOT get the work, he waited wto weeks to tell me that he would no longer be doing my landscaping. While I have no problem with him wanting to do ALL the work at my house, I do have issue with lack of professionalism in waiting almost two weeks to let me know. The work he did perform was up to par but he did not honor his commitment. He is basically a one man company with a helper as needed. Be aware when considering him for your landscaping needs.
Description of Work: Blake's Landscape's was hired to do spring clean-up, mulching and weekly maintenance.

Response from Blake Landscapes
The member failed to sign the agreement presented to him at the start of the job and then wanted us to use his equipment and materials. We tried to work with him and it simply did not work. We are a professional company and we no longer do business with those looking for "Yard Work" in Craigslist. This is not the type of situation we normally find ourselves in and a lesson was learned. The member has yet to finalize his payments owed to us for the work performed. We are a quality company with very happy customers. We run a maintenance crew along with a hardscape crew and have had great experiences with those we serve.
