Landfare Ltd

I started a project in late 2015 with Landfare . As time went on, it became increasingly apparent to me that they were incapable of performing the work they contracted to do at an acceptable level of quality. It was an incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience. Their attention to detail and attention to quality was very missing and they ended up doing their work again... and again... and again. Some work to this day they have never completed satisfactorily. Notable items: * They had to lay the patio 4 times. (See photo of attempt number 3. Note the fact the bricks jog and picked up an extra course somehow.) Even on the 4th time it wasn't right. They told me the sub was too hard to work with and they would remedy themselves. Zach said he'd be back in a month. Never heard from him again until I followed up. * A project (and I quote) that was supposed to take 8-10 weeks spilled into nearly 1 year and 8 months before I simply told them I was giving up on them. * A pool bottom that wasn't poured properly and isn't smooth. * A fence that wasn't built properly. The masons on the job then were so abusive to it that it needed to be rebuilt any way. * It took many multiple attempts to lay pavers so that they were level. * Using sub par materials and installation techniques on a different patio that then started to cave in and wash out in the joints. * Improper install of irrigation such that it leaked and took months to get remedied. I am told it was the mason who cut a line. * John the owner is generally unresponsive unless he wants to collect money, sell you something, or you finally go absolutely nuts on him. * Most (maybe all?) lime stone steps were laid with improper grade so that they collected water and poured back towards the house. * Improper drain installs that had to be redone. * Much, much more. Landfare consistently failed to maintain quality throughout the project and I had to take them to task repeatedly. To be blunt, they would do work, call it complete, walk away, and then I would have to call them out on their mistakes. They were not proactive in any sense. I don't derive pleasure from having to take a contractor to task. They should be able to internally keep themselves accountable and produce a result for the client. Long story short, find someone else.
