Just your friendly reminder to all newbies looking for landscapers. Stay away from Kenny Wayne Smith. Good Neighbor, is not so good or neighborly….. 352-266-4423 he has ripped off many people and continues to do it. Stay away…. Far far away…..

He was here when I came and that was 13 years ago. I guess he'll be here as long as TV keeps building houses, it's amazing that they can't do anything about shutting down his operation.

I'm not familiar with this one. However 13 years they have lasted a long time. If, criminal etc posting on talk of the villages is unlikely to solve the problem. Contacting our local representative will tell you what to do and how to do it.

Like most things, a large part of getting things done is knowing how to do it.

As stated I am not familiar with this operation. We know from posts there are people that are never satisfied.

He was service smart for a long time in the he beginning he did good work but then, well then he didn’t , I guess he figured it was easier to hustle ,,I used him in 2 different homes and they were always responsive, but then it changed , he actually put my landscaping in in my last home in Fenny, he was ripping off everyone by then , but he must of needed money and did the whole job ( not to big) and then got paid when done although I had to put up with him trying to get some money during job , just goggle him and you’ll never call him

They do good work, IF they do the work. They will go to all the new villages and knock door to door. They did my neighbors, 2 houses, and I watched them doing the work, so I hired him. Nicest guy too. Ponzi-sceme type thing. They took out my shrubs, never heard back for like 2 weeks, told me he forgot about me, came out put in the new plants and put down the weed barrier. That was in July. I finally heard he was in jail but is now out and most likely heading to Citrus grove area or wherever else is new to try and get some work. Also, he’s very fast to reply to texts but will give you the run around. I’ll be there Friday, then on Monday when you call/text he’ll tell you wed, it’s never ending.

I found his home address and am tempted to pay him a visit.

They're already going after him. Marion landscaper accused of failing to provide promised services

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a complaint on Wednesday in 5th Judicial Circuit Court against a Marion County landscaping business that allegedly “target(ed) seniors with false promises and incomplete work,” according to a press release.

The complaint is against a company that has allegedly taken the names of Service Smart Inc., Service Smart Management Inc., Good Neighbor Landscape Inc. and Good Neighbor Service Management Inc. over the years. Kenneth Wayne Smith, Aaron Paul Gaines and Roy Blackburn, listed as owners and managers of the companies, are also defendants in the case.

The businesses, which were registered in Ocala, worked largely in The Villages, according to the legal action.

Ed's brother.

By now they are probably using another name. He was the first vendor I met when we bought in Fenney back in the early days. I put a no soliciting sign on my door and he rang the doorbell 3 times in 2 days so I finally told him not to step foot on my property again, last I saw of him.

To confront him and ask him for my money back? I’m a 55 year old female who weighs about 135 pounds. I love where your head goes though. I guess our brains work differently.

He was just in jail a couple of weeks ago but is out now.

I live in citrus Grove - I guess I can expect a visit from him soon. He has to pay his legal bills.
