It's very unfortunate that Geoff is still trying to cover up for his company's error. It is true that our water timer was changed out but I made him aware of the change BEFORE he started doing all the plantings. If he was so on top of business, why didn't he realize the plants were dying and look at the water timer to see if that was the culprit? It took him months to figure out that our water timer was set incorrectly? Please. That's pathetic. If he is really a professional landscaper who cares about his work, he should have caught it before it was too late.
As for offering to replace the plants, we agreed to split the loss, not the cost. He said he would replace some of the plants, not all, for his part. He did not do so. Also, he never planted any of the Katie Ruella. These were supposed to be planted between the driveway and walkway. That never happened. I can't verify whether he did or did not plant the vine in the front of the house or the vine along the back wall since there was nothing there when we came out months later. If they died, they also mysteriously disappeared. The one cactus that he didn't plant is not the one I am complaining about. He never bought it and we never paid for it. No loss there.
I am hardly trying to soil his company's name or reputation. He did that all by himself.
