you asked if we could come today and mow your lawn. I told you we don’t have crews on standby waiting to go out but we can call you to set up a time to meet you. You said no you will find someone today. I just said good luck.Service Provider Response

We do pay attention to all the web request we get daily. I personally get a email notification with your request. We never received your web request so I asked my web designer to check the site and see if it was in the background. It was and she has no idea why we did not get your request. We received another request 7 min before your. We have her monitoring and looking into why this may have happened. It has happened another time since she was monitoring. We still don't know why but we are trying to figure it out. We rely on technology and sometimes it fails us.Service Provider Response

This is obviously what can happen when a business decides to terminate a relationship with a client. During our over 20 years in business I can count the number of times we have had to do this on one hand. Even though this member was rude and demeaning during most every communication we continually tried to please him. The complaints were never ending and they always seemed to be followed with a demand to either completely void an invoice or significantly reduce it. The final straw was when this member flat out said that he would, under no circumstance, pay an invoice for a turf treatment if a flag was not left in his lawn. It was explained to him that turf treatment flags are always left on lawns but once we leave the property we have absolutely no control over what happens to them. This seemed to fall on deaf ears and as a result a very polite and professional letter was sent to this member terminating services.Service Provider Response
Dear Angie's List member this is just false. Accepting a credit card for payment was never an issue. Actually in this situation it was preferred as it would have sped up our process. The issue we had (and the only one preventing the work from proceeding) was your refusal to sign the contract agreeing to the Scope of Work that was laid out in the proposal. This was explained to you very clearly in email and over the phone on several occasions. No signature meant work would not proceed. In this day and age of technology providing a signature on a contract is easy if someone wants to do it. We are an honest company trying to provide a great service to our clients. When a potential client behaves in the manner that this Angie's List member did it sends up red flags. We have learned the hard way that we cannot do business without a signed contact and a deposit. In order for the playing field to be level and fair rules have to be followed.Service Provider Response
Dear member. Thank you for your review. For the most part it is accurate however there seems to be some inconsistencies in what you remember versus what actually transpired. Robert was not sent the initial email with concerns. That email was sent to our info@perfectlandscapes.com address. Robert does not get this email but is forwarded emails as required. The following email message was received from this member on April 2 and then forwarded to Robert the morning of April 3. 'Comments: Robert -- Not sure what happened? The mulch beds look great but the lawn was not raked, no edging was done, and leaves/debris not cleaned in patio rock bed. We did it ourselves yesterday. I will assume there is no balance due as a result. [name removed],' It was mentioned to this member that communication between us had been great until she decided to refrain from expressing her concerns over the work that was performed until AFTER addressing it herself. We were never given the opportunity to make the issue right with this member. We would have been happy to had she given us the opportunity. The following response was sent to this member on the morning of April 3rd as a result of her comment: 'Thank you for your inquiry. First I must say that If there is a problem with a job we like to resolve it. In this case it would have been best to give me a call or send an email prior to cleaning it up yourselves. I would have been happy to send someone back to your property immediately to correct anything not done per the 'Scope of Work' outlined on the proposal. I spoke with my field supervisor Jesus Garcia regarding your concern. He indicated that he was there onsite to explain the scope of work and expectations to the crew. He also said that the areas that you have reported back as not being cleaned were but that there was a lot of wind that day. He feels that the heavy winds we had resulted in leaves being blown back across your property. He is going to stop by today and take a look at the edging. He would also like to meet with you at some point to discuss this. Please let me know what is convenient for you.' The following email was this member's reply: 'Robert -- The leaves were not from the wind. The accumulation of leaves in the rock bed on the patio are not accessed by the wind. No raking was done on Tuesday; I thought maybe someone would come back on Wednesday to finish up -- but no one called; nor did anyone show up. If Mr. Garcia was aware that they left the jobsite on Tuesday and did not complete the job, why didn't you or he call me to tell me when he would be back? I should not need to call you. I am very happy with the work that was done on the beds. I finished the rest of the job myself late yesterday afternoon. I believe the deposit I paid is sufficient for the work that was completed.' The following email was sent in response: 'Good morning. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Jesus Garcia noticed that there was a lot of wind blowing leaves around on the day the work was completed. He reported back that everything had been cleaned up but was concerned that leaves may be blown back across the property afterward. Yesterday Jesus stopped by your property to evaluate the situation. He said he encountered leaves in the rock beds and he cleaned them out. This is after you reported that you had cleaned out the beds yourself. I believe the theory that wind is bringing leaves back to your property after it has been cleaned has been proven. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about that. You will be responsible for paying the balance of your bill.' At this point it became clear to us that this member was not a reasonable person. This member's home backs right up to a wooded area. The day the work was performed was very windy and as we had mentioned to this member there was some concern on the Field Supervisor's part that leaves could be blown back onto the property after we had finished. The bottom line is that had this member made an effort to communicate her concern prior to addressing it herself we would have been happy to if indeed there was one to address. Denying a contractor the opportunity to right a perceived wrong and then expecting the balance owed for services rendered to be excused is not the correct way to handle this type of situation.
