We also had Joe and William do work for us in June. We were getting ready to leave to head back to our primary home and they showed up and talked to my husband. They wrote up a contract for us and asked for the money up front. My husband doesn't do business like that, so we agreed to 50%, and they would get the other 50% when they were done. They were coming back to finish the job the day we were leaving, so my brother (who also lives in TV) agreed to give them our check once they were done. We have been told the landscaping they did looks great. We are getting estimates for additional work to be done by them as well.
Never, never ever pay in full up front for any kind of service work, because there is no incentive for them to either finish the work at all, or finish it in a timely manner. A good company will ask for some percentage down, to cover materials that they have to purchase, but labor is always paid for after the work is done.
