BEWARE !
BEWARE !
- After taking our deposit of $6,500 back in August and saying the job would be done by Thanksgiving or at the latest by Christmas. They delayed us with many excuses and we believed everything manager Ron P. was telling us. Christmas came and went and they still had not planted a single bush or even started to repair the aging retaining wall. In January they said the ground was to cold to work.
Then in March the retaining wall started falling into the driveway. I called Ron P. and sent pictures showing the wall was falling and partially blocking the garage door. Ron P. said he still needed to get materials (boulders) from a quarry and it would be several weeks before he would have the materials to start. I told Ron I could not wait that long. I hired another company and the retaining wall was rebuilt within a few days.
In a phone conversation the owner of Plumline Nursery, Karen initially said she would refund our $6,500. However, a few days later we received a somewhat nasty email from Karen in which she had changed her mind about refunding our deposit. To date Karen has not refunded a penny of our $6,500 deposit.
To summarize, Plumline Nursery visited our house one time to measure and to collect the deposit. Plumline never returned to our house again. Plumline never planted a single blade of grass nor did they do any work whatsoever on the retaining wall. Plumline Nursery seems perfectly happy to keep our $6,500 without doing any work. Plumline Nursery (Karen) says all deposits are non-refundable.
Action: I have interviewed two attorneys thus far that say in PA this is a no-brainer because Plumline Nursery did not actually perform any work and I received zero benefits for the $6,500. They both say it will cost about $1,000 in attorneys fees to file the law suit and get back the $6,500. NOTE: One attorney also said if Plumline Nursery had actually performed some work and it was poorly done then you would still have to pay something because you received some benefit.
In Closing:
Buyers BEWARE of Plumline Nursery. The worst experience ever.
designer is great to work with and his designs are very beautiful. We
are constantly receiving compliments about our landscaping.
