Came home to workman hauling big pieces of the trunk with a large dolly and dumping directly on the fromt lawn. I told the workman I had stated I didn't want it there to Kevin, and he said and quot;It won't hurt your lawnand quot; and something about them picking it up that evening or first thing tomorrow. The huge logs were there the next day at lunch, but gone in the evening, leaving big gouges and depressions as I feared they would. There also was no firewood left for me as I had asked - it had already been loaded and tucked away by the time I got home.
The only thing they left was a lot of sticks, and wood chips which buried the lawn next to the area where the stump was ground. Someone also left their big gulp drink cup. Wood chips from felling the tree that covered the driveway were blown on to the lawn. Sine it started raining, I assumed they would come by and clean up the mess the following day - they did not.
When it was time to grind the stump, heavy rain had started to fall. When complete, the heavy machine made big tracks in the saturated lawn.
The workman also moved some bags of yard clippings away from the street - I assume because they were somehow in the way. They didn't move them back so they were not picked up by the city.
Kevin called me about the check and I stated my frustrations which seemed to make him mad. He came by, offered no apology for not leaving any firewood or the mess which he didn't bother to look at. He said the truck that picks the logs was broken down - not sure why the logs could not have been transported to the driveway when the truck arrived. He took the check and was gone.
Apparently he does not communicate the wishes of his customers to his workers.
- This is the second time we used Above and Beyond although the first experience was better than the second. Both times they did and excellent job. They showed up on time, worked non-stop and did a excellent clean up. The second time we thought the estimate was on the high side and they weren't as friendly.
