Default beware of mulch crooks

We called around to get 4 yards of mulch delivered and spread. One company wouldn't give me a price until I told him what neighborhood. When he found out it was a premier village, he said it would be $300. We finally went with M an M Landscape who did a beautiful job for $135. Megan from M&M said it is common to jack up prices for premier neighborhoods. She also told us about how some landscapers will show up and start a job even though you picked someone else. They then go to the police and charge the people with theft of services. She said to never do business with someone who just shows up in a truck, and never pay anything up front. I guess that even though we live in paradise, there are some not so nice people out there who don't mind taking your money.
