Your Garden

In the beginning, Ken and his team were great. However, their service has gradually become worse and now I believe that the owner, Ken, has lost touch with reality. Please see Jason B’s review. This is what has happened with my family as well. We also agree that he has become extremely unstable since they had a family tragedy last year.
We had signed up for a specific monthly service with this company and we have made our payments every month, not always by their preferred due date, but paid each month. The latest payment was a check that was lost in the mail and Ken called us throwing accusations and was extremely belligerent. Due to that behavior, we felt compelled to cancel our service and only paid for the first half of the last month since that is the only service they provided. He has since sent threatening text messages and we are really not sure what this man is capable of in this state of mind. He becomes belligerent and threatening at the drop of a hat and appears to be close to having a mental breakdown.
Sorry, Ken, you were great before the tragedy, But, in our opinion, until you seek some mental help and guidance we feel it best to part company.
And Ken, Please stop with the threats, it is unbecoming of a true «Businessman». As one businessman to another, I truly hope that things get better for you.

We hired Ken and Your Garden Inc to do weekly yard maintenance and a large overall yard clean up for the home we just purchased. The quote for the clean up was about $ 1,600 and included removing moss, fertilizing, cleaning out all of the flower beds, etc.
First they mowed the lawn which was good. Then a few days later they had a couple of unsupervised teenagers goofing around at my house. Their work was poor and they were loud in ways that disturbed my work. I work from home. My first sign that Ken was «not all there» was when I called him and let him know that the workers weren’t doing good work and they were goofing off which was disturbing my work. He got defensive and disregarded my concerns.
Next, his team did a nice job on our lawn. However, after the work was completed I walked the yard and noticed there were still weeds in the flower beds. He had already given me the bill and I had even already written the check to give to him. However I called and asked him if he wouldn’t mind removing the weeds from the flower beds as originally promised during next week’s service and he literally «lost it.» He got hostile and defensive. Telling me that I didn’t appreciate his work and that there is nothing in the contract that says the beds should be «100% weed free.» Next he threatened to file a lien on my property if we didn’t pay in 72 hours.
To that I responded that I think it best to end his services and to not come back. I informed him that I would be consulting my attorney regarding the threatened lien. He then threatened to come to my home, and even used violent profanity in multiple subsequent emails. I’m actually a little concerned that he might do something violent… he was that unstable.
The funny part is that I liked the work that his team did on my lawn and just wanted a small amount of weeding done like he had originally promised in the contract. I already had the check for him but when he flew off the handle, i hired an attorney.
Such a waste of my time for such an insignificant small lawn mowing guy.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this guy at all costs. Anyone who is not comfortable with clients inspecting their work should not be in business.
