I have been trying for over 4 months to get TLC to complete work that Matt already charged my credit card for.
TLC had been cutting my grass for over a year. They were never dependable but I am not one who needs his yard kept immaculate and they are very inexpensive so I only complained when the grass got unsightly. When I needed to have some trees cut down Matt asked if he could bid on the job. Matt underbid the other companies and I awarded him the job. They did not do all of the work required (left big stumps in the yard), what they did took weeks longer than expected, their equipment damaged my driveway, hydraulic fluid leaking from their truck made bare spots on my yard where nothing will grow, their truck left tire marks everywhere it went, they broke steps leading up a hill on my property, they broke the slate walkway in a garden area, and they even dropped a tree on my next door neighbor’s garage. After a number of unhappy e-mails from me, Matt came to my house and told me that he would make everything right and do the fall cleanup as restitution for the damage to my driveway. His crew came, did some (very little) of the work that Matt had promised and piled all the leaves from my yard on the front edge of my lawn. Now I am concerned that I am going to get cited by the township for the leaves going into the street.
I believe I will end up in small claims court before this is over.
