Hired to re-beautify my property after a devastating fire in Amarillo in 2011, Discount Lawn & Tree asked for $3800 up front, never ordered any landscaping supplies (including trees, shrubs, railroad ties, horse fencing, and other landscaping materials) nor did they every return to continue or complete the job. Discount Lawn & Tree were sued in Small Claims court where I was awarded judgment, and the company was ordered by the court to refund my money. Sadly, this company has never refunded any monies to me, and a theft report was filed with the Amarillo police department. This company has scammed other residents in the Amarillo community by not returning to start or complete a job, and residents need to be made aware of their deceptive practices. The Better Business Bureau has had numerous complaints regarding this company, but the BBB continue to support Discount Lawn & Tree because they pay their annual dues. My hope is that with my experience, I have made others aware of the dangers of hiring landscaping companies who ask for money up front. This is a risky proposition and this company should be avoided at all cost.
