We had our new patio and lawn put in the end of mayDespite following the watering schedule to a T the lawn still hasn't grown where they put new top soil and seeded (it's now the beginning of August!) To top it off, the owner Brian has been less than repsonsive to our calls requesting him to come back and fix it (he promised a 2yr warranty on the lawn)Terrible customer service and time managementI would strongly suggest you bypass Shaney's if you're looking for a landscape companyWe have tried so hard to work with BrianMake sure you pay with a credit card and wait for the results of the job before final payment

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear belowUnfortunately, most of *** statement is and this is just going to continue to be a finger-pointing battleIf you look at the pictures *** attached in October of our job, how do you see yards of top soil? In the picture, you see top soil in certain spots (dark black colored is top soil) and then it's actual existing fill/clay that was already on our yard, which is a majority of the pictures attachedThere is no way that much top soil he stated was brought in, as we have other professional landscapers stating this to us nowAlso, if you look at the pictures, 1/of the back of lawn was never graded/top soiled/seeded per contractWe contracted for an entire acre to be graded/top soiled/seeded and that was not completedWith that said the contract was not fulfilled and completed accordingly in Fall 2015, which requires refundYes top soil was brought to our yard in late June 2016 to patch areas of our lawn, but that was not much once again. In October before our job was started, we contacted *** and suggested him to get out of the contract and be paid for work completed, as he did not have enough time to finish our yard as he pushed it back month from the scheduled date of finishHe had continual excuses for cancelling and/or no showing and there was not much of rain that time of the year to use as a "good excuse"We let him know on September 26, that we understood if no work was started we could get our money backAs of October 4, the job was not completed and we informed *** that we would like to wait to spring and that was due to his negligence on our jobWe were told the job was to be completed the week of September 20 and it was now early October and not completeWe let him know if it was not completed asap, we wanted to push our project to spring as we had prior engagements to be gone for weeks and did not want this to affect our lawnHe said not to worry as it would not affect our watering schedule during that time of the year and would not VOID our warrantyWe followed the water schedule as requested in Fall In spring 2016, *** did not aerate our lawn twiceHe came out once to do this in early June and barely reseeded at that timeHe informed us NOT to water or cut grass for weeks verballyOnce again, how does grass grow without top soil? Regardless of what deal this business gave us on the contract, we paid for a professional lawn which we did not receiveWe did not ask this business to do extras, the business offered to as this was a referral. It sounds like he underbid the job as it was referred and now we are burned with a lawn not complete due to the unprofessionalism of this business and unfair business practicesI have many emails/texts in writing showing everything that was clearly stated to usDo you need to see a copy of this?
I would not recommend ANYONE to pay this landscaper/business any money upfront/final payment until warranty is completeOur warranty and contract was not fulfilled and we want a refund as we requested of $2,If you cannot compromise for your work/warranty not being fulfilled to the contract, we will seek further action as the Revdex.com is not assisting quicklyYour contract with us was not in code with the Wisconsin law and you are fully aware of this along with additional violations with the Wisconsin StatsPlease see the attached pictures of the lawn today not professionally doneYou can tell there was NOT much top soil brought to our yard to grow grassThis landscaper is not professional and should not be in business!

First of all the lawn was completed on October not October as stated. Yes, there were delays due to weather. When doing fine grading it needs to be completely dry so therefore when it rains work is delayed a minimum of business daysThere were no VM messages on the
office phone since October 6. Our company policy is we will return all VM as soon as possibleAlso please note our hours are m-f 9-and sat 9-as stated on our website. Do I answer phone calls or return missed calls after those hours? Yes, occasionally if I feel there is a need to follow up before the next business day or if I was unable to return/answer calls due to being busy with other business mattersWatering a new lawn is fully the homeowner’s responsibility. The contract does not state that sprinklers, hoses, and a timer will be provided. We were doing this as a courtesy to make it easier for the homeowner to be able to water the new lawn easier. We did drop off the sprinklers on October and there was nothing preventing the homeowner from setting up the sprinklers when our schedule did not allow us to return promptly. You both have to remember you received your new lawn at a greatly discounted price with the $courtesy discount, and the other services we provided for free. ierepairing the retaining wall which included bringing in more stone ($value), burying the downspout ($value) and providing sprinklers ($value). There was also the fact that we were not paid according to the signed estimate which clearly states 1/down with the signed estimate, 1/down at the start of work, and the remainder when the project is completed. We did not receive the second 1/down (due at the start of work) until after the project was completed(Payment was received October 7)
