Resident pays $8500 and loses it to vendor on The Square
the initial post by irishmen reads thusly, "A homeowner on Little Mountain Loop in The Village of Duvall paid thousands to have natural grass removed and artificial grass and rock installed in front yard and now The Villages are making them take it out. They have lost thousands of dollars to Pooters. Company called Pooters who has a tent on The Square on Market nights deceived them that this was OK. Homeowner didn't verify Pooters was telling them the truth and collected money knowing it was against deed restrictions. How can The Villages allow this vendor to continue to operate on the Square in this manner? Taking advantage of Senior Citizens no matter should not be permitted. Yes it is ultimately the homeowners responsibility but How many other homeowners are being deceived by Pooters? Pooters operates on directly managed property by the Entertainment Division under the umbrella of The Villages Community District. According to a friend of the homeowner Pooters even had some official looking document from the State stating artificial grass is OK so I don't blame the homeowner I blame Pooters. It's a shame The Villages continue 100% blaming the homeowner. How can The Villages let this continue. Pooters was well
aware of the deed restrictions. It's up to us Villagers to watch our own backs. Any credible landscape company will advise the homeowner to get approval from Architectual Review."

njbchbum, As I recall the owner of the property was happy with the way this situation was resolved. I might also add the Pooters is a member of the BBB and gets an A+ rating.
nibchbum, have you had work done by Pooters that YOU can talk discuss?
I have already PM'd the OP on the Pooters thread. And to be honest, I am using them BECAUSE after the error, the customer was a satisfied customer. I for one think that is more important. How does a company handle a mistake when they make one, because they all do!
I am hiring Pooters to do work for me. I will take and post pictures for all to see and judge. But until you have had work done by them, I would wish you wouldn't hurt their business. The complaint was from a neighbor NOT the person who had contracted Pooters. The person Pooters had done the work for did not indicate they were in fact out any money and that they were not happy with the end product!
I might also add that even though The Villages restricts how much real grass on the lawns. Most states consider artificial turf as being "green".
