James the Gardener

Quoted a ridiculous amount of money for a simple job, would have been easier if he just said he didn't want to do it.

Worst (and most expensive) mistake we made was hiring James Stroud (James the Gardener) to completely revamp our garden. He was uncommunicative; sub contracted the patio work and failed to tell us. Unreliable; he was rarely on the premises, leaving his worker alone, sometimes not knowing what to do. Full of excuses: for days and half days not worked, his workers, over ordering of materials. Incompetent; the groundwork was never cleared correctly, he flipped the old lawn and did not dig out the dandelions and, as a consequence we have dandelions coming through the new turf. In addition, he failed to honour his contract with us. We asked for a written, signed contract and we are still missing a gate and a portion of fence. He also reneged on supply and fix shed, giving some lame excuse that he was unable to supply. Shame on you James Stroud.
