I had a bad experience with Jose Lacayo last week. I needed my palm tree trimmed and the pods removed. His company did a good job cutting down the fronds, but neglected to put a tarp down to collect all the seeds from the pods. I ended up picking up thousands of green seeds from my bushes and bedding surrounding the palm tree. I called him and his only answer was 'just let the seeds turn brown and it will match your rock'. Plus he sent only 2 men to do the job who did not speak English. Very unprofessional.

Is speaking English a requirement to trim palms. I have had very good service from Jose crew always offer them beverage when working in yard never need to clean up after them. I do know basic Spanish but never have a problem with his workers.

He didn't do the job. Nor was it a "good job". The job stated "pod removal", which includes the seeds in the pods...

Irrelevant to the job that was contracted...

You left out the relevance of.....a non English speaking landscaper. A real anomaly in TV!

Try Google translate and meet them in the middle.

Any time I've had to talk to one of the landscapers from Dean's, there has never been a communication issue.

But if you leave people behind who cannont communicate with the client, and they do the job improperly, that's a problem, no?

Once again, you're changing the subject, trying to make the OP sound racist. But you be you...
