    I called and discussed my project in detail with a guy answering the phone. Was told I would get a…read morecall 'next week'. Now, 4 more calls to them and one month later... still no response for my approximately 100k job. Not sure what is going on over there but if they are not returning calls now just imagine what would happen if you are under contract with them! I feel I dodged a bullet.

    FormLA was taking care of my front yard since January 2018. I fired them recently for flagrantly…read moreignoring my very specific, detailed instructions on what _not_ to cut back in my yard. Over the past 18 months, though, I had several problems with them. On their first visit, they removed dormant milkweed plants. I had specifically pointed out that these plants were dormant, not dead (although, being "native plant experts", you'd think they wouldn't even need to be told). They replaced the plants, but the replacements still haven't gotten as big as one of the ones they had removed. I asked them to focus on weeding the parkway areas. Being on a corner lot means there's a lot of parkway, and while I do have lippia planted there, the weeds were also quite present. Months went by and it didn't seem like they were doing anything about the weeds. When I finally asked one of the workers to focus on that, he complained, "That's going to be a lot of work!" Um, that's literally what you're being paid to do (and paid nicely -- $375/month for 18 months is almost $7000!). The workers would cut back my plants far too much, even though I really like the jungle look in my yard (and said so from the beginning). They also didn't pay attention to the seasons, so some things that should've been cut back when dormant weren't cut; they just like sculpting and manicuring the plants, as far as I can tell. The last straw for me was when I specifically told them not to cut my artichoke plants (not native, but still had edible parts growing on it) and my coyote brush (overhanging a path that isn't used much, and probably could be tied back instead), and only lightly trim the black sage. What they did instead was a complete massacre of my plants, and now that we're entering the slow growth season, I see my horrendously bald front yard every day and regret not firing them sooner. If you don't care much about your plants, or your money, you found the right landscaping company!
