Brian quoted a price of $25/hour to do the job. We discussed it. It was probably an 8-9 hour job. Performed trimming hedge, edging beds, & raking around 800 square foot bungalow. Charged $225 plus tax. I haven't received the final invoice. When Brian was questioned, he stated he had 3 people working & that was $25/hour per person. Three guys for 3 hours trimmed a 20 foot hedge, edged 4 beds, & removed winter debris from small yard. When I inquired about the $25/hour quote, Brian stated, "You didn't think I would do this by myself, did you?" I was charged for nine hours & have had half the agreed upon job completed. I was not at home when the work was completed. I cannot prove there were 3 people that worked 3 hours on my yard. I would not recommend this company.
Description of Work: Spring clean up, edge beds, spread 8 yards mulch, & trim top & side of 20 foot long boxwood hedge around bungalow in Cleveland.

Response from GREEN MISSIONS LANDSCAPING LLC
THE WORK FOR THE MEMBER WAS COMPLETED FOR THE CLEAN UP. THE MULCH WORK WAS TO BE DISCUSSED AFTER THE CLEAN UP AND IT WAS STATED CLEARLY THE MULCH WORK WOULD BE DISCUSSED AFTER THE TRIMMING OF THE HEDGE, THE 185 LINEAR FEET OF EDGING AND THE LEAF CLEAN UP WAS COMPLETED. WE RECEIVED THE PHONE CALL FROM HER COMPLIMENTING US ON THE RESULTS OF THOSE 3 SERVICES. WE AGREED ON THE PRICE OF $25.00 PER HOUR. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE DOES NOT CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE TOTAL JOB. IN FACT, THE MORE PEOPLE USUALLY MEANS A LOWER PRICE BECAUSE THEY WORK MORE EFFICIENTL THAN SOMEONE WHO IS ALL ALONE. I MADE SURE SHE KNEW WHAT THE COST WAS BEFORE STARTING THE MULCH EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD TOLD US THE MULCH WAS READY FOR US TO WORK ON. I MADE SURE SHE KNEW THE PRICE EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD NOT ASKED. THE INVOICE WAS MAILED ON MAY 8, 2006 AND TO DATE WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PAYMENT FOR THE WORK DONE. IN ALL CONVERSATIONS WITH HER, THE OVERALL COST OF THE WORK WAS NEVER MENTIONED BY HER AND NO REFERENCE TO A FINANCIAL LIMIT FOR THE JOB WAS EVER EXPRESSED BY HER. WE WORKED QUICKLY AND HAVE THE RECORDS TO PROVE THE TIME FOR EACH OF THE THREE SERVICES AND HOW MUCH IT COST. WE ALSO HAVE THE TIME RECORDS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED ON THIS JOB. SHE PROBABLY DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE LEAVES AND HEDGE TRIMMINGS HAD TO BE HAULED AWAY AND DUMPED, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT LEFT ON HER PROPERTY. WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 5 YEARS WITH NO COMPLAINTS. THANK YOU.
