This guy truly sucks.

1. He killed our rose bushes. last spring, he cut them down to short stumps - maybe 12" high. He said it was supposed to keep them healthy, by pruning like he did. They never came back. I don't think he realized that you cut them back at the END of the season, not the start

2. At Christmas, he threw down grass seed and then a light layer of soil and put a $300 bill in our mailbox. Firstly, the seeding was not approved nor did we ask for it - he did it because he thought we needed it. Second, he did not till the soil to loosen the hard ground,,,so we ended up with new grass that sloughed off once we walked on it.

3. We spent a bit of money to clean up tha back bed and lay down red mulch. His idea of upkeep was to come into the back and use a high powered leaf blower which did nothing but kick up dust all over the place. He does not remove dead leaves nor does he pull weeds. We asked him to NEVER come into our yard again and I just kicked him out a moment ago.

4. He does not prune the birds of paradise so they look like crap and are close to death.

5. He laid down new mulch in the front flower beds and did not even bother to move the hose first so the hose was covered in mulch.

The sad thing is that our landlord continues to pay him......which means we pay him because part of our rent goes to the gardener.

He so sucks
