Wilt's Property Maintenance & Design

Brady began mowing my yard a few years ago when we would go away for an extended vacation (10 days) with my Family in the Summer and Fall. Things went well until this year. He immediately responded to my text requesting him to mow my yard around Memorial Day but ended up being 2 days later than he said he would. Despite that I paid him more than he asked for because I appreciated him being there when I needed him. Then in late June, I asked if he could mow again for me two weeks in a row as we would be gone about 13 days this time because of when July 4th fell. He NEVER SHOWED UP. I have Ring cameras so I know when he is there and when he isn’t. I texted him multiple times and he always said that he’d be there the following day. Then on Monday of this week he went silent until today when he said he’d be here tomorrow AGAIN. I returned home tonight and my grass is at least 10”-12” tall and a mess. I’ll never hire this guy again and he should not be trusted when he makes a promise.

Brutally honest and kind of embarrassing for me but this was my experience. I leave it as a buyer beware type of thing. Brady and brother and father did an amazing job although he was supposed to take down two accidental trees and told me the charge for that was part of why the estimate was high. He ended up cutting the trees to their stump but made some excuses as to why it wasn’t possible to take the stumps. He didn’t reduce my charge though. BUT, he was a no call no show to two appointments and late for the rest of them, a total of 5-7 times. Not only was this unprofessional but I had 2 fur babies that went poo outside in the backyard so .. I would make sure the yard was free of poo and close the doggie door making them stay inside. He either wouldn’t call and just show up a lot later then he told me or he’d call and say he’d be here soon, after being really late, which btw after I complained he told me that he worked for himself so was never late. Then I’d rush to let my dogs go to the bathroom and lock them in AGAIN. So one time I missed a fresh pile of poo, after making my senior dogs wait for hours without being able to go outside. He started working then stopped after 5 minutes texting me that he couldn’t mow because there was poo in the yard. Also, he bought my late husbands dirt bike and trailer, both pristine. The trailer was packed with a full toolbox and a pressure washer and all kinds of accessories. He knew what it was worth but I didn’t. Here’s the embarrassing part. I let him get away with buying everything for about $3000.00 less than I would have gotten from a fair person. If I were knowledgeable, not in mourning, smarter than, I would never have let him take anything much less let him come back after treating us so haphazardly.
