My experience was similar to other reports. Sends young person with leftover asphalt to do part of drive and then proceeds to increase cost. I should have stopped the check.

One of the worst experiences of my life. A scam. This person approached me with "leftover rock" he needed to get rid of and would practically give it to me, though I would pay for the labor involved in applying it. From what he said, I thought I would be paying for about $300 worth of rock to patch some low areas in my driveway. He claimed he couldn't give me a firm price because he didn't know exactly how much rock he would be using until the end. Before I knew it, he had scraped my driveway completely and applied asphalt, which I never asked for, expected or wanted. He continued to work despite my protests. Afterward he presented me with an $8,000 bill, then came down to $4,000. He threatened to sue me if I notified my property owner's association about his business practices. He completely misrepresented the work and despite saying on his equipment that he gave free estimates, he never provided me with one. I take responsibility for signing a work order without reading it or asking for a definition of terms, but he misrepresented the amount of work and material he intended to do and charge for.
Description of Work: Rock driveway was scraped, asphalted and rock applied and compacted
