Scott's Landscaping Lawn Care

He comes out very friendly but he is not well-organized as well as his schedule goes. He was not able to do our patio before because of the weather and I think it is understandable but we've had many good weathers that passed and he still wasn't able to do his job so we asked for a refund.

We paid for our sod in June 2012, they didn't come out until August 2012. We had them come in and lay sod for our backyard. They said they would need to remove a part of the fence to get the CAT in the backyard to prep the ground. After the sod was laid they put the fence back up and left. I went outside to admire the new grass, then quickly realized they broke a board in my fence and didn't bother to tell me. They ALSO completely covered the drain that lets the water out of the crawlspace. After two whole months of calling them and hounding them trying to get the board in my fence fixed, they finally replaced it. As for the drain they covered up, soon our crawlspace was flooded because the water had no where to go. I had a friend who works for a big contractor out here to come help me. He found the drain pipe and dug a path through the sod to let the water escape. He said there was around 8,000 gallons of water under the house because of it. I never contacted the company about it, because first of all they should KNOW no to cover up something like that, and secondly they screwed up so bad how could I possibly trust them to even come near my yard again? Don't use these guys. You'll regret it later, even if their prices are cheaper. You get what you pay for. Also, they are independently owned, not affiliated with Scotts LawnService.

How do I even begin to describe the service I received from this "company." I use the word "company" loosely, as he has no office, no equipment and sub-contracts out all of his work. In July 2012, my husband signed a contract with him to have a retaining wall and landscaping beds placed in our backyard. Mr. James came to out house and provided us with a quote for the job. We were told we needed to make a decision within 24 hours as we were on a very specific timeline to have the work done. He assured us it was doable and that work would begin immediately. We were naive, and provided him with 1/2 of the total price up front to begin work. We were told that bricks had to be ordered (that was a lie), that work would begin within the next 7 days (that was a lie) and that our wall would be up at the end of the first week in August (that was a lie). He subcontracted out the work and the work began, LATE. The wall wasn't put up appropriately and it literally crumbled 15 hours after it was erected. At this point, I paid him IN FULL immediately after the wall being finished. To find out, he cut corners due to underquoting us by more than 8k and the wall wasn't put up correctly. He then had to repay to have it put up again. Additionally, he never filed a work permit with the City of Clarksville, and this stalled the project for more than 3 weeks due to his disorganization. The 2nd wall was finally completed in October (we had a completion date of August 2012) and my landscaping beds still aren't completed. I was told 2 weeks ago that the beds would be finished by the 2nd week of November. Well, its 15 November, and work hasn't even started. Mr. James also took my copy of my original contract without me authorizing him to do so. He has lied about the contract and still has not provided my copy back to me. I have had to hound this gentleman every single time his deadlines have come and gone. I would like to make it a point to establish that I cannot even begin to count the number of deadlines he has missed. Reaching him prior to him having our money was no problem, but the moment he had the rest of his money, it became almost impossible to reach him. I am still fighting with him to this day to get the work completed. If you want the job done correctly, and you want someone that is professional, reliable and honest, then I highly suggest that you go with someone else. I really have no words to express how I truly feel about this company. I would never hire this company to do anything for me ever again.
