LWV took our neighbor to the tune of $4000, and was arrested for that so I hear. There are lots of good landscapers and bad ones, and it is important to do two simple things:
1. Check them all out before ever ever writing a contract and providing a deposit (never more than 25%), and
2. Never Ever pay for the job until 100% of all work has been totally done to your satisfaction. Then and only then pay or write a check.
The problems I hear about all the time at TOTV is about Villagers simply NOT USING COMMON SENSE. Crooks and cons will see stupidity every day and take advantage of that.
Some of the landscapers bid jobs way too low to undercut their competition. Becareful of that. You get what you pay for.
Paradise Landscapers does do very good good work, and does complete their jobs. With us, they took a while, but the work did get done and was to our full satisfaction after our job was finally completed. Don't be afraid to contract with PARADISE, but do use common sense when contracting for landscaping work. Apply the two RULES listed above and you will never go wrong.
