Cardinal Nursery & Landscaping Inc

*******TWO LAWSUITS!!! - Consumer Be Ware - TWO LAWSUITS!!!******** In my opinion, Tony H. Karimi, Cardinal Nursery & Landscaping d.b.a (doing business as) My Pool and Patio (3001 KY-146, La Grange, Ky 40032. 502-222-0505 [*** Link removed ***] ) is a horrible contractor and one of the worst contractors I have ever seen. I contracted with Tony and his company to install a pool. The job was done with very poor craftsmanship and had mistake after mistake. There was never a “foreman” for the job that insured that anything was constructed/installed correctly i.e installed according to the manufacturer’s installation manuals or built to the customer’s requested specifications. Some of these installations errors are regarding safety concerns in a pool environment. I, the customer, had to catch all of the mistakes/errors. When these errors where brought to Tony H. Karimi and Chris S. Tackett’s attention, their response was we can correct it. The corrections then looked like repair jobs. The new construction ended up looking like one repair job after another. When this concern was brought to the attention of Tony H. Karmi, his answer was “it’s only cosmetic“. The pool ended up looking and performing no better than if a homeowner D.I.Y, with minimal craftsmanship experience, installed the pool. The dealings, construction and other legal issues regarding the contract were so horrible that I spent the time, effort and money (lots of money) to file a lawsuit/legal complaint against Tony H. Karimi and his company. The claim was filed in Oldham County Ky Circuit Court case number 17-CI-00400. During this process, I found out that another customer in Jefferson County Ky had a situation similar to my experience. They filed a legal complaint as well. The claim was filed in Jefferson County Ky Circuit Court case number 16-CI-004552. There has been TWO legal complaints, that I know of, filed against Tony and his company for these issues mentioned and so many other issues that’s are not mentioned. Trying to mention all the issues would make this review too lengthy. My opinion is that Tony H. Karimi does not tell the truth. This opinion is from his answers to questions in his deposition for the legal complaint I filed. I can support this opinion with all the facts I have. i.e. time dated communication, bills, checks etc. If Tony H. Karimi can give these answers under oath imagine what he will say in order to get a customer to sign a contact or continue with a job. I hope this review is helpful to everyone looking for a contractor and assist them in their decision in finding the right contractor to install a pool or any other project they are planning to have done. I wish that no one has to go through the ordeal that I and my family have endured with working with Tony H. Karimi and his company. I definitely DO NOT recommend signing a contact, doing any business of any sort with and STEERING CLEAR of Tony H.

Tree a year later is dying. Went to talk to them about it - it has a one year guarantee and I have never heard so many excuses and back peddling! Just amazing - I knew right away to leave - they couldn't have been bothered. Would never go there again and would never recommend to anyone. So unprofessional.

Please see above for details.

The entire process ran for months and was a complete fiasco. - The fence was mismeasured, and not received for over 6 weeks - Once installed, it was determined that the length was still not correct, and it had to be dug up - While extracting the gate, an installer hit our electric line, and shocked himself (they did not mark off the power lines) - We were without power for two days, and Cardinal would not pay for the electrician - After the power was restored, they finished the job, being told specifically not to poor concrete directly on the new lines - A month later, power was lost again because they had poured concrete on the lines and it ate through - We were without power again, and had to have the electricians replace the wire
Tony was difficult to deal with - he did not claim responsibility for the fact that the process took months to complete, that the gate was mismeasured twice, that they did not mark off the power lines and that they specifically disregarded the electrician's advice.
Our job ended up costing close to $1000 extra in electrical and additional repairs.

The job went fine. They did the work as described or so I thought. The very first rain washed away all the dirt and top soil that I had paid to have placed. The Grading all washed away. After contacting Tony they agreed to come back out in March of 2009. They had excuse after excuse of vacation , too hot, too cold, too wet etc. I have over 10 emails from their office stating they would be out there to fix it. when they finally got someone out there, two men showed up with shovels. this is like 300' of drainage. The young men were frustrated after an hour and left. they said they would return. they have never come back. I have filed a report with the BBB. After I filed, they responded to the BBB and said they look forward to coming out and taking care of it. The claim was marked resolved, and they never came out. I refiled the claim in 1-2010 and they are now disputing it. I placed pictures, emails and the whole thread of interaction online at the BBB
