Ivan's Landscaping

I thought I hired this company but when they asked for a deposit check, I was asked to write the check to someone else.   The work was delayed a day because the crew was running late on another project.  The crew did not have adequate equipment for the job.  The tree trimming requested was not fully done - they only removed a few small branches.  At the end of the work, the crew leader asked me to pay the balance in cash.   I felt that I was overcharged for poor work, but I needed the work done right away and didn't have time to find someone else.
