Business ProfileforAdvant-Edge

November 4, 2021 I gave ******************* a check for *******. Deposit for landscaping the backyard.Between then and Jan 20, 2022 whenever I messaged **** for information on the job I always received an answer of "next week." Always next week he'd know something about timing, materials.Jan 17 and 19 2022, left two unreturned phone calls on the answer machine (always the answering machine, no one answers the phone) that I would like my deposit returned.Jan 20, 2022 ********************* emailed me to reconsidered due to the family hardship and business troubles. She wrote that "next week" they could start the job. But start what? No materials had been agreed upon or even discussed. I had said in November I wanted a certain paver but had never been informed if I could have that.I emailed back that I was very sorry for their troubles (I am!) but it was too much money to be sitting around doing nothing. Refund please.Jan 25, 2022 ******************* messaged me he could not get the pavers I wanted but would like to show me something else. For the fourth time I asked for my ******* dollars returned.I've heard nothing from them since. I realize that all jobs now are subject to supply shortages, man power shortages, and the awfulness of having people be on death's door with covid. Never did I expect my backyard to be immediately completed. But a constant answer of "next week", no phone answering, no materials discussed until after I want my money returned, I have lost confidence the business can do what we contracted at this time.I want ******* dollar deposit returned.
