Left a message, He returned one phone call and promised me a quote and never followed up. I left three more messages that he completely ignored! Must not need the business! Figured it was a no brainer since he takes care of the neighbor! That kind of customer service, I don't need! I am in Boxford and he has clients on the street.

Same thing happened to me as to "Linda D" almost exactly, from the come-on right down to the many suits in one day. There were 6 the day he sued me. Poorly done work with inferior materials with padded billing and belligerence rather than an effort to cure after promises to cure. WORST LANDSCAPING BUSINESS EVER IN MY EXPERIENCE.

We used Scenic Landscaping of Beverly, Mass. for one season. A VERY BAD CHOICE. The owner's business model is to come across congenial and accommodating. He offers to cut your lawn for $40.00 with the expectation of getting additional work, which he acquired. The additional work was over - priced, poor quality and things were not completed. The hours were padded and we were billed for work never performed or completed as contracted. When questioned about the uncompleted work, the owner had numerous excuses with promises to complete but never did. He often ignored calls of inquiry
