Business ProfileforPetey's Landscaping

I contacted Petey on 2/18/2023 because I picked flier from the home & Garden show. He came out on 4/25/2023 to look at the pond we needed reconstructed & said he’d get a quote to us within 48 hours, which he did. He said that he would get us the contract on 3/6/2023, but we didn’t receive it. He contacted me on 3/18/2023 & asked for our last name because he was putting together the contract. I got the contract back in the mail to him on 3/30. I checked with him on 4/12 to see if he had received the contract with the down payment & he said that he had & would like to put us on the schedule for 4/27, but it could possibly be sooner depending on the weather. We agreed to that date & thought it would be complete by the graduation party we had scheduled for 5/20, since it was a 3-4 day job. I texted Petey on 4/26 to see if we were still on to start the next day & he never answered. I texted again the morning of 4/27 & again, no answer. Finally, that afternoon, I heard back & he said he was behind on jobs & he’d get back to me that evening. I finally heard from him on 4/29 & I was told he was ‘trying to figure things out’ & it looked like he would come out the middle of the following week. On 5/5, I reminded him that we have a graduation party scheduled & a big pile of rocks sitting in the middle of our yard & would appreciate an update. I didn’t hear from him. On 5/8, I reached out again & he said. “I am pretty confident I can get yours done in the next 2 weeks, but if you’d like to hire someone else, I understand.” I told him it would be impossible to hire some & them to finish the job in the next 12 days. That was the last time Petey responded to my texts or phone calls. I requested my check to be returned or voided & ripped up & a picture sent to me, since he had never cashed the check, but I got no response to those texts or calls either. I cancelled the check. Do not hire this man. He is a terrible businessman & does not care about smaller jobs.
