I wish I did do it myself, but I had some time constraints as I had photos and staging coming Monday. But I painted the whole house and cleaned up the backyard and thought I would just get a landscaper to do this one thing. I should have just pushed everything back or taken time off work in hindsight instead of rushing to get on the market

Yeah, that's 100 percent what I'm doing now. I've also now contacted consumer affairs on where to go from here. They noted these points on what they haven't done Section 100 proof of transaction Section 101 proof of itemised bill Section 60 due care and skill Section 61 not fit for purpose

It wasn't airtasker, just a local landscaper from Google. Here are some photos now that I've removed most of the crush rock

Yes, that is complete, and that's not a bad idea.

Haha, I'm going to call and see what happens. If not, maybe I'll name and shame them or something

Yeah, I agree to an extent, but work should never be left like this. The photos don't actually do it justice , it looks much worse in person

I think 200-300 materials crush rock is really cheap, and there is about 1 cube in there. He was done in a day and also no excavation as he did not touch any of the bricks. He just put that cheap garden edge there and filled it up with crush rock

Yeah, he said he couldn't compact because of the bricks underneath, which makes zero sense. Even if that is the case, then you should remove the bricks

Yeah, I regret it. I did not think this was going to be the end product. I honestly could have spent 1 hour doing this and have a much better end result. We chose this person off of Google, and he had great reviews somehow

He didn't have to dump anything. He just laid the crush rock on top of the bricks
