Seahawk Lawn Service

I was looking to surprise my wife and get our yard cleaned up before I had a lot of my family in town. I did some searching and decided to check Craigslist. I found out about Brandon on Craigslist. I really liked the ad and how simple and straight forward he was on his work. So I reached... out and told him I'd like to hire him for 9 hours of work. I was going to be out out of town and asked if one day between July 11-14th would work. He told me he'd come out on Tuesday and asked if I had [redacted] . I said yep and the deal was made. I sent him pictures and emailed him a list of work to be done with a priority list. 1) Mow, trim, etc2) Clean up flower beds, lay new woodchips or something3) Pruning4) weed n feed. Brandon gave me some good advice and we removed the weed n feed off the list.Brandon told me via text he's going to be out on Monday now (which was no problem as it was within my dates I asked). Monday- He didn't make it. He texted me that night at 6:14 confirming that he'll be there on Tuesday for sure (I'm out of town still so no problem)Tuesday- He texted me he had a family emergency and was sorry to ruin my wife's surprise but didn't make it but will be out on Wednesday. I was a bit bummed but hey family first. I told him I needed it done or I'll put the project on hold and he said figured out some things and said he'd make Wednesday work. He'd be bringing 4 guys for 2.5 hours (10 Hrs total) and he'd show up at 11:45. Wednesday 15th: Good communication on the bark he was buying and confirmed and said it will look nice. 12:53 PM I texted him that I was out of my meeting and let me know if he needs anything. He replied back that things are almost done and he'll send photos soon.My wife called me to say thank you and said one thing that is odd is they did not mow and asked her if they were suppose to. She told me to she replied to do whatever I told them too and they left (remember this was first on my list). 4:00 PM- No word, no pictures but I wasn't too worried about it. I text Brandon and said good work but the only issue is why wasn't my lawn mowed? 7:50 PM He replied "I apologize for the inconvenience. I will be there next Thursday during my regular schedule visits to the area and will mow and get it taken care. Told me to hold off $50 of my pay until the work is done. So just send $290 of the $340."Thursday 16th - I replied asking if he saw my dog who we accidentally left in the backyard. his phone was acting up and he never replied on that. He texted me again the next day the same message. I replied once again did you see my dog who had gone missing. He emailed me he had seen it and it escaped under to my neighbors yard and barked at them most of the time and said he'd be by Thursday to mow once again. (Please note I DO NOT blame Brandon for my dog that went missing. It was our fault and we found her later). Friday 17th- He emailed me saying to just pay $240 of the $340. I emailed him asking what his [redacted] email address to pay and that I noticed two more issues. I said I'd go ahead and pay the $290 and not the $240. Below is my email. "That's fine and I noticed two issues. You only covered 3/4 of the area by the tree and there is fairly large blank spot by the maple bush to the left of my front door. That needs to be finished on Thursday as well. I'll pay you the $290 now once you confirm your email to me and will pay the other $50 once the job is completed. [redacted] @yahoo.com is that your [redacted] email?" Brandon replied back with his [redacted] email and I paid him $290. Monday the 20th rolls around and he texted me asking about the money and said to just pay $240 of the $340 asap. After figuring out the mistake I went ahead and paid him $290 NOT $240 (without waiting for my refund of the original $290 from [redacted] ). Thursday July 23rd- Brandon nor his crew do not show up. No email, text, nor phone call. Friday July 24th- I email him asking if it was a mistake to pay the $290. Sunday July 26th- Brandon Replies: You paid for 9 hours of labor I gave you that...me coming back to mow is me trying to be nice because I forgot. I will let you know a day this week I can stop by.I'm very frustrated at this point. My lawn looks like crap and he didn't partial work. I decide to lay out.. August 10th- I felt I've waited long enough. I email Brandon asking for $50 to be refunded to me and we'd be even. Brandon quickly replied "NO" I emailed him and asked how does he figure that? I've gotten zero replies and obviously here August 17th and counting Brandon has no interest to correct the situation and simply do what I asked him to do. I have copies of all text, emails if anyone would like to see to confirm my story.So with that I say to run away from Brandon and his crew..You will get incomplete work and he'll take your money and run. PS Brandon if you'd like to make this right feel free to call me anytime.
