I have never found a group of contractors so bad as every landscaper I have worked with in TV. They seem to think that because most of TV people are retired, I can come late, come anytime I want, and they will conform to my schedule. Half the shrubs they plant die, and they try to blame the homeowner. So far I am on number 5 and about to fire them. As a group, at least the ones I have hired so far, are very unprofessional. When I come to TV I usually have a long list of things to get done and schedules to maintain. Having one of them show up an hour late does not work. I didn't even allow him to get out of his truck. Told him being late is not acceptable and to move on. At a minimum they should call and tell you they will be late and let you decide if you need to reschedule.

Most other service providers are OK, but so far landscapers are horrible.

Have others had the same experience or am I just having bad luck with them? Or is showing up on time to much to expect?
