Scammed as well!!
We were scammed in a very similar manner by Devin Dodd of Specialty Landscape Designs. He comes across as a very nice guy, will deliver a very nice palm, tear your yard up, remove the shrubs, take a large downpayment then give every excuse in the book with lots of promises to return and never finishes the job. He also tries to sell you lawn and shrub care for a year as an extra package and never returns. A few of our neighbors were scammed by him in the same way. We called the Sheriffs, Seniors vs. Crime, and Better Business Bureau. He was arrested then out on bond. Florida does not have a good law to protect us against these scammers and the legal system will admit to that. He was also very well known to all of the agencies we reported to. SVCO had over 70 complaints against him when we spoke with them. He also had been in business with his brother under a different name prior to this doing the same scams. BEWARE!! After 2 1/2 mos. of looking at dirt and weeds, we hired Maintenance by Evergreen to complete our job and we were MORE than pleased. We highly recommend Luis and his employees!! We have yet to receive a dime or apology from Devin.
