Business ProfileforThe Lawn Company LLC

My husband and I hired THE LAWN COMPANY to plant shrubs along the perimeter of our back yard to act as a fence. ***** assured us of his services that he would be able to give us the results we were looking for. He planted 65 Podocarpus shrubs. We paid him over $6500.00. ***** rented a drilling machine to drill the hole for the shrubs and then proceeded to just plop the shrubs in the ground and mound the loose dirt/sand up around the shrub. After a short while we noticed some of the shrubs turning brown. We contacted ***** and his reply was we were not giving them enough water. We were watering them everyday due to it being the summer. Gradually more and more shrubs died. We finally convinced ***** to come take a look at the shrubs. He commented to my husband that we were lucky he was coming back out because no other landscaper would do the same. He replanted a few shrubs(that we had purchased ourselves from Lowes) and went on his way. Still claiming the shrubs were not getting enough water. My husband and I did some research and came to the conclusion that ***** did not plant the shrubs properly. He should have dug a hole much wider than he did and fill around the edge with fresh soil after roughing up the roots on the bottom of the root ball. Then he should have made a trench around each **** so that the water could get to the roots. ***** did none of these things. We have since replace 20% of the shrubs ourselves. All of which are doing fine because we followed proper planting procedures. We also made trenches around each remaining plant to help get the water to the roots. We feel that we should be refunded $1300.00 for the cost of the shrubs we had to replace. I have plenty of photo documentation of the dead shrubbery
