Smart Scapes

We had mulching, lawn edging, flower planting, a stone retaining wall and a raised stone garden bed last year (spring 2009) done by Cameron. The work, his responsiveness and price were excellent ($1390). This year he quoted us $885 for mulching and bed edging , flower planting, general lawn cleanup and another raised stone garden bed in April 2010. He did one day of work and promised to return. After six weeks of phone calls, emails and even leaving a note on his car (he lives down the street and has a SmartCar as the company vehicle), the work has not been completed and we haven't even so much as gotten a return call letting if know if he will return to finish the work. As a result, we've had to hire another landscaper to complete the mulching, planting and edging. During this time, I've noticed that he's started another job for our neighbors (which he hasn't finished either). His work was excellent, but it seems like maybe his business grew too fast and he's taken on more work than he can handle. That said, it is completely unprofessional not to return any phone calls or emails to let us know that he won't be able to complete our work. While I like Cameron personally and his work and prices were excellent, I cannot recommend him to anyone because he has been so unreliable this year.
