Today, I am paying the $85 “service charge for inspection of yard for drainage” to Tri County Landscapes. It’s a scam in that warranty will not respond until a Tri County person visits your property. I say visit because that is all they do. They give you no paperwork, analysis of anything other than a bill.

My letter to Mr. Hess has been ignored and I thought I was being nice!

Dear Mr. Hess,

I received you letter of 8/4/16 discussing the drainage issues around my house. As your visit to my house was in June not July, you may be thinking about the wrong house. As you didn’t take pictures or any measurements of the property during the visit in June, I am a little perplexed that anyone would know that the grading is correct. If you made measurements after that first visit, I would request to see those measurements to present to people who can correct the issues.

Maintaining turf is not the issue but having soggy ground for extended periods of time is. I will be happy to provide you with pictures of wet ground that isn’t draining. As I would like to resolve the draining issues, any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

I love the Villages except for shenanigans like this. I will pray that your house as well as mine survives Matthew without damage.
