Landscape Construction Solutions

The owner promised to issue me a refund of 250$ in the spring of 2019. I have yet to receive said refund.
On May 24th, 2019,*** of Landscape Construction Solutions, quoted me 2500$ to complete a flowerbed and patio renovation in my backyard. In order to secure the services and materials, I was asked to submit a deposit for 10% of the final balance. I sent *** 250$ via e-transfer on the evening of May 24th. I did not sign any paperwork. On June 13th, I contacted *** to let him know that I would be unable to afford the renovation and needed to cancel his services. I asked him if it would be possible for him to refund me my deposit. He replied on June 20th and he agreed to send my deposit back the next day.He didn't. After many unanswered messages I left a negative review on the company's Facebook page on June 30th, 2019. He sent me a message saying I will have my money by the "end of the week" (July 5th). He didn't. Since then I have sent another handful of messages asking for my money and he has yet to reply. You can find the screenshots of the messages in the additional supporting documentation.

I hired *** for simple landscaping in my front yard; I was hesitant based on some reviews and discussed this with him; However I decided to try him out to help him as a small business but I was gravely disappointed; He wanted $1500 up front half of the job which I prompty paid. First of all landscaping work was not completed; nor was it started in a timely fashion; multiple excuses; lack of money, his truck, his family etc etc,
this simple project of trimming bushes, doing some edging removing a stump remains unfinished;
despite numerous phone calls and texts he simply chooses not to respond; he left his tools and a yellow tractor on my street for weeks on end I had police and neighbours complain and asked him to remove it in a timely manner which he did not causing large amount of stress to me

However these things aside the worst thing he did was he said he could build a small porch for me by my front steps; When I asked him to show me pics of this porch it was completely not suiting to my house; I explained exactly what I wanted and he said he would get stone to match my house he charged me an extra 500 for the stone; I asked to see the stone and the receipt; never saw it. He started to build the porch with cement blocks and stone and glue; Luckily my neighbours saw this and we consulted 3 mason companies; it turns out he wasnt putting 42 inches of cement footing; nor was he adhering to the 18 inch height as per permit; This was all pointed out to him but he kept arguing that he was doing it correctly; I asked him to NOT continue as the porch would crack and not support weight; He came got his materials and have never seen him again; Took my 2000 dollars; I asked to be fair and give me back 1000 and dismantle the blocks and stone and mess he created on the porch and complete my landscaping; despite numerous calls no response.
