Art’s Landscaping & Sprinklers

Found his number on Craigslist. Very unprofessional… and a big liar. Once they get their money, they’re gone… No contract or anything. His son is a big liar too. Like father like son, I guess. His work is good, but had to keep pushing him and practically begging him just to get the job done. All promises, no show. Very unhappy with their services. Wish I had seen the reviews prior. Unfortunately, he was the only one to answer us back at the time. Took advantage of our money and left us hanging… Even did some things wrong, so now we have to pay other people just to fix it.

I called to get his services on 10÷1÷14 to trim 4 palm trees never showed up called him rescheduled for the following day 10÷2÷14 never showed up again sent him text thanking him for wasting my time & that I would not be recommending his services & would let everyone know not to use his services. He text me back apologizing for not showing up & would give me a discount I said ok I’ll give it another try he reassured me he would show up on sat 10÷4÷14 at 8 am text me at 8:30 using his son as an excuse fir being late told me he was running late would get to my house shortly never showed up. Called him at 1pm blocking my number asked if he was even going to show up to the job said he was actually on his way never showed up! He is very unprofessional has no respect for peoples time & is a flat out lier. Will be sure to let everyone I know & don’t know never to use his services!

Be cautious when hiring this guy. I found an ad on Craigslist. He responded quickly to my phone call, however, after receiving payment for the job, he took off half of the day, and upon my repeated phone calls, he did finally return to finish up his work. However, very unreliable, his work is subpar, and he has many excuses. I would give him zero stars if that was an option.
Take away:
I wouldn’t recommend prepaying anyone to do a job. If they are professional, they will have you sign a contract and if you refuse to pay them, they can take legal action and go the legal route and place a lien against your home in order to prompt immediate payment from you. And professionals know this. That’s how things are done in his industry. He doesn’t need to get prepaid. That’s an act of faith he has clearly violated.
