we're looking at a rather large job, with walls a lots of plants. We have driven around and viewed some of their work, but i tend to use the recommendations i get on totv. I've seen discussions on all of these landscapers. Only one of these asked for money up front...

Any strong recommendations/warnings for the above landscapers?

Thanks.....
do not use larocks, scott is sub contractor, does not have license or insurance and the villages does not enforce this with contractors . He has alcohol problems, and when you confront him with questions after his work is done , he is beligerant and nasty. Sends his partner out and she is worse. I did research and learned this business has had different names in past, he bartars and then gives you the screws in the end. If you bartar with him he takes 3 months to complete a job. He comes with no pictures or ideas . He is the most defensive person i ever met for a business man. Tells us he has bartered his equiptment for landscaping etc..we did not need to know his personal business, but then we learned our lesson. Just beware, get a business that you can track for the last 10 years that are reliable, not one that has changed hands so many times then lies about insurance and liability. You get what you pay for and he is not your man. We had to pay dearly to get his work fixed.
