Recently, many of his crew that we were consistently apparently quit, and we have had zero work done over the past 2 weeks. Our front yard looks like a junk yard and I am wondering what we can do legally to force the completion of the job? Please advise.

I can tell you what worked for me. I posted the facts about the situation on social media. Left out my opinion, the facts speak for themselves. Did not post it as a complaint, but rather a review to help potential future customers. Then I told them about it and they said they would finish if I took it down. I said you’ve got to be kidding, I’ll take it down after you finish the job. If this is a company that wants to stay in business they know how much social media can hurt or help them.
You say many of his employees quit. That happened with the guy we hired too but it was after he finished the job. They did quality work and had mentioned to me that he was having personal problems. His wife ran the company but he was the guy who knew landscaping. My neighbor knew him and said he finally left town. Not sure if the company is still in business
