I hired this company to clear/grade my backyard to soil level. They did a very good job clearing, but in the process the a lot of the bad soil removed ended up in my front yard. I had about an inch of soil on healthy lawn. They did not remove the soil, all they did was throw a hand full of grass seed and left it. I have disability and I had to fix it. I wasn't going to pay a professional to do the work, what I paid this business was a small fortune.
I was going to be billed and then I was going to complain, but the bill never came. I got curious as to why I wasn't billed. It was three months later I received a bill from these people. I know they were conducting drive-by's checking out my lawn and when it looked good enough they'd send me a bill. A few days ago their foreman came by and admitted he had driven by my place. He slipped, he shouldn't have admitted this. And the only reason someone came to my home is because I recorded the work they did in March! I sent them photos and video of the work and the damage they did to my front yard.
A couple of months after they graded my back yard I had a jungle of things that has never grown in the back yard! I can only think that their equipment must have had dormant seedlings or something. I have what looks like trees growing. Now I have to hire another business to clear this!
I will never, ever again hire and quot;Absolute Quality Lawn Care Inc. and I do not recommend them to anyone. Wait, I would recommend to them to bad guys.
Below is the email I sent to Absolute Quality Lawn Care.
Howdy, how ya doin?
I guess this is long enough to wait before paying you. I didn’t think you’d mind, since it took you three months to bill me.
Check out the photos and watch the attached video to the end. You’re people didn’t even attempt to clean up the mess created in my front yard. I didn’t want to put out more money to have a professional fix it so I had to try to do it myself. And it hurt! I did mention I’m a disabled vet, didn’t I? It took me about a week to rake off what I could and it laid me up for a bit before I could try to seed and water. Still hasn’t fully recovered.
I was expecting to be billed right away and when the bill was received I was going to complain. The bill for your service never came until about three months after. Why?
You’ll be receiving a check from my bank.
The photos and video will be posted on Angie’s List, Facebook and anywhere else I can think of. Sorry, but your people didn’t do right by me. My neighbors couldn’t believe what your people did to my yard! Needless to say I will never even think of hiring you again, or recommending your business. Please have a good day.
I have more photos and a video. If anyone is interested. And the lawn isn't completely recovered, it's thin in places and other things had started growing which I had to make sure I pulled out by the roots. Nope, these people cost me too much. This business might have done good work for others, but they failed me.
