Scott’s Landscapes

Do yourself a favor and do not hire this man. After 4 weeks on a job that we were told would take 4 days we decided to hire another contractor. We heard excuse after excuse and tried to be patient but were forced to hire someone else to finish the job. The irrigation system was very poorly done, multiple leeks and poorly designed. There were sprinklers left uncapped and when we turned on the drip system the sprinkler heads came up through the wood chips and decomposed granite path. We were told that the decomposed granite pathway was finished. It had not been compacted and no

Aahardening chemical had been added, so it turned to mud whenever it got wet. We were told this is how it is suppose to be. After telling Scott that we were going to hire someone else to finish the job since we hadn’t seen him in weeks and we weren’t satisfied with the quality or progress, he became very aggressive and demanded full payment for his subpar and incomplete work. He threatened to file a lien on our property and has since texted us to say that he will be filing a lawsuit against us. We also had one of his «employees» knocking on our door to see if Scott would be working at our address today. Apparently he had never been paid for work he had done. Bottom line stay away from this contractor!

I wish I had read some of the reviews prior to hiring Scott. For those of you who were fortunate enough to have him finish the job and fulfill his commitment, you are very lucky. He told my husband and I that the job would take 4 – 5 days, and a month later it still was not complete. He continuously said he was coming that day to finish, then would just no-​call, no-​show. It was the most bizarre, unprofessional, and unethical experience. The most responsive and invested he became was the day we fired him. Now we have to hire another, more reliable and trustworthy professional to finish. The dude is shady.

Bid job and never came back or returned phone calls or email. Be very, very careful here!

Bravo Olav A. If I had only known. We have an unfinished job and were told in June that our job would take 3 days to complete. Now we are left with a leaky irrigation system, two overflowing trash cans (which belong to him) with his debris (which I will have to pay to drop at the dump, a fence without a gate, one of the gates he built is falling off the hinges (not even a month old). And now all I get is excuses and empty promises. The last I was told was to leave a punch list of items that needed to be completed. The note has been on my front porch for over a week… I paid all but the 10% remaining. BIG MISTAKE! I intend on reporting him to the Contractor’s state licensing board, hiring someone to finish the job and sue him in small claims court for the charges I incur. KAren n. yes Scott does have a crew BUT he carries no workman’s comp insurance which is illegal.

Too bad he has not come back to fix all the things that he left undone.
Shame on you KAren n. you clown.
