Same experience as lucek, probably worse because I have no redesigned yard. But I have a wallet several THOUSAND dollars empty. I'm embarrassed to quote the actual amount of money he conned out of me. I only give 1 star rating because you can't give 0.
Skipped on meetings, late if he actually showed up...never answered phone and rarely answered emails. You only here from him when he needs payment, otherwise you won't hear from him for weeks to months. Just as with Lucek's review, he talked big, had a good proposal, but never delivered and basically vanished.
I have a sneaking suspicion all the positive reviews were written by friends or colleagues of his.. ""... it was like I hired a scientist."" haha, yeah right!..
Also, the business address listed on City Search is wrong. I'm guessing that's his old apartment. Based on the contract I signed with him the correct address is listed on Yelp. If you Google map the correct address it's a neighborhood, not an office. I don't think he has an actual office. Whenever I asked to come down to the office to see progress he always had an excuse for me not to go.
I remember one excuse he gave for disappearing was that he was arrested for a protest. Which is fine and admirable. However, he failed to mention the real reason he disappeared. He was held an additional 10 days because he had outstanding warrants in his name. You can Google it, the info is public domain.
You can still work with him if you like, but be warned. I wouldn't recommend it.
