Haro Landscaping

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! I’m not sure if the other reviews are real, but this one is real. Looking at 5 stars reviews I thought this must be a good landscaping company, but guess what it’s a 5 star for scamming and terrible service. I started working with Haro early February for my new built backyard landscaping. He gave me a quote and along with that a mini bible which made me think they should be good people and no other landscapers gave me a BIBLE, so I agreed on starting the work. Once agreed he started asking money upfront like more than 50% which seemed unfair and later only paid 2k to start the first phase of work for irrigation, once done he immediately asked some more money and paid upto 9k. He gave us a finish time of no more than 2 weeks but all he did was a sloppy 90sqft of pavers which goes like a wave and irrigation just 3 or 4 feet down the ground (half of the outlets were already broken) in 2 weeks for which we have to follow up everyday with him and his wife, are you coming to the site to do the job (yes no or may be), and they have all the excuses come as late as possible and as early as they can. We thought it was a landscaping company but it’s only him and his wife and they bring 2 random guys from the church who don’t even know what they are doing. Next they ordered 12 pallets of pavers after so much follow up and frustration just to show us they are working, the pallets were delivered to our site and the next day half of the pallets gone missing, when asked him what happened he said he has no clue, some one might have stolen was his answer. Then we had to check the neighborhood and ask all of my neighbors, my builder office and what not. When the home builder said it must be your landscaper’s responsibility to keep it safe and they should be the one who should check for missing inventory or file a police complaint for theft not you guys so we went back to him and said the same you call the police and guess what, within mins the matter was resolved, I was loafing around the neighborhood from morning and he had no idea what happened to missing pallets and all of a sudden he got it resolved, he said it was taken back by the supplier as they order 12 pallets instead of 10, but 6 pallets went missing. I asked them why did they take back 6 pallets instead of just 2, then he started lying it was only 2 and he moved all 10 pallets in my backyard, which was total bull and straight lie to the face. Then I felt like I was working with thief rather than a landscaper and halted all the work. How can we let someone so terrible in the property who looks and works like a scam artist. I asked him like close to 100 times how many pallets of pavers are in my backyard he said 10 pallets then later when I verified it next day it was only 6 pallets. When I contacted back with proof he said oh I’m sorry I was wrong and wasn’t even paying attention as I was busy working and guys moved the pavers, It’s not a problem we can order back more if we want. Blah blah blah all the bulls he could spit off. When I said I’ll call the cops, he cancelled the work and started saying we are the bad people and we didn’t trust the process and took all the money, all they did was 90 sqft of sloppy pavers and broken irrigation system. He didn’t even turn it back on for the front yard and half plants were dying which was rectified by another landscaper. Now I had to pay extra to undo his ‘state of the art work’ to my other landscapers. It’s so hard to get other landscapers when guys like him come and mess up things, steal your money and you would end up paying extra to undo their mess and redo everything. More importantly the stress they give is unpleasant. And now I should file a civil suit just to get my money back. Please hire Haro Landscaping if you want nightmares and stressful experience on how not to do a backyard landscaping.
