More messages back and forth with Dino, he never came and finished his job, but had no problem accepting money (see above review for experience).

$300 to for spring clean up. We walked around my yard to talk about expectations. I wanted the leaves blown into my side woods and sticks picked up that have come from storms. Price was initially $350 but we negotiated to $300 without bagging anything. After agreeing on a price we were going to get the job done within a week or so. Shortly after Dino left he called me back asking if he could do the job later that afternoon. I obliged because why not. Dino opened his new leaf blower and began doing a good job. His female counterpart arrived shortly after to assist with the process. An hour in I was asked if they could use my rake. At first I thought it was strange that someone who did landscaping would ask for a rake but I didn't mind. Another hour goes by and I observed them using my empty garbage can without asking (thankfully garbage got picked up that day) to throw the sticks and leaves in and then transport to the edge of my property. About 2.5 hours in Dino tells me that he will not be able to finish the job in time because of the dampness of my lawn and says it will probably cost another $300. This is after we both walked through my yard and agreed on a price Mind you I have .70 acres of land and I simply wanted leaves and sticks picked up and brought to the edge of my property. I was having back issues at the time and my wife was 8 months pregnant. I told Dino that we agreed on a price and that I was upset. Initially he said he'd do it for 50% off at $150 next week, but wanted to make sure he got paid the full $300 for today. After a little more discussion he said that he would finish the job he agreed to due the following week "on the house." I paid the man against my better judgement and he told me he would be in touch. After no response I messaged Dino asking when he planned to come by to finish the job. He told me that he was in Kentucky. It's been almost 4 weeks and he has not reached out, but I expected as much. Side note, my rake was bent after it was used. If don't mind supplying garbage cans for transport, rakes for the job, disappointment from the inability to finish the job, I highly recommended them.
