Audubon Landscaping

I hired Eric to do the lawn and mulching+trimming. he came in for an estimate, because I travel very often so I did not have time to constantly follow up on this. I gave Eric an advance payment and asked him to keep sending me an update on each detailed expense. not only he never send those expenses, and when i came back from my vacation 2 months later, there is no mulching or gardening done.
and when i sent him an email enquiring about this, there was never any reply.
Eric is either a fraud or just a useless talker who can not do any landscaping. I am about to sue him for fraud because he took the advanced payment and not done any work.

We hired Eric Carty to do landscaping for a house that needed to get listed. He was late for the appointment to provide an estimate. When he finally came by we discussed the work and time frame (which was to be over the subsequent week), to which he said «no problem!» He said he does this stuff all the time — lots of experience with landscaping and house sales, etc.
He never showed up to do the work — not before that due date, not on the date, and not after that date. He never called to discuss, and never returned several phone calls from me and the realtor who had apparently worked with him in the past.
He fully understood the time frame, when the house had to get listed, and screwed us. We were left scrambling to find someone else to do the work. Eric simply didn’t show up and didn’t have the character to provide a suitable explanation or alternative. He is totally unreliable and flaky. I strongly recommend against using him.
