Goat Trimmers LLC Don Williams Lying Contractor Rips off customer Olympia, Washington

You have the owners name wrong. It is Don Miller

I use Goat Trimmers 2 times a year for our HOA for the last 4 years now in Puyallup. I have nothing bad to say about them. We at the HOA plan to use them again this year and cant wait for the Spring to come so we can enjoy the goats. I think for someone to post a negative comment about Goat Trimmers is making a wrong sta. We have receved Goat Trimmers name from an HOA in Gig Harbor that uses Goat trimmers as well and will back up the work they do. After im done with this post I will be letting the other HOA know about this Post as for the owner of Goat Trimmers.

I would ask you to ask Don Miller (3) pertinent questions.

1. Did you agree to a 50% refund with the customer for failure to complete work as promised?


2. Did you stop returning calls to the customer after repeating promise to refund 400.00?


3. Did you leave fencing on the jobsite that the customer had to remove at his own time and expense so that a back hoe could access the property?

I Don Miller met with Larry Miller of Puyallup at his Rental house in Bonnylake on the morning of Jan 28 with the goats and the fencing. We set up a fence and let 28 goats go to for the day as Larry and I discuss the job would take 2 days and we started on Sat am as the goats where eating I talked with Larry and signed a contract that says.             Understanding Regarding the Nature of Goat-Based Landscaping Service.The use of live animals for landscaping is an inexact undertaking. Goats generally will only eat greenery, and thus Customer's property will not be perfectly landscaped after the Trimmers service.  Blackberry vines and other such non-green vegetation is typically leftover.  Also, the timing of completion is not exact since factors such as weather and other things beyond the control of Trimmers can affect how long it takes the goats to finish consuming all greenery.  In the event that the estimate is too short due to such factors, Trimmers is willing to extend the stays of the goats, although it may not be continuous due to other obligations.  Any such extension, additional fee or waiver thereof, will be at Trimmers' sole discretion.  Customer expressly acknowledges, understands and agrees to the foregoing in this paragraph As i told him the goats will eat the green but not the stocks so we will do some cutting to clean it up a little bit. As for leaving we did make a run to get some lunch as I told Larry we be right down the road to get lunch and be back .. He Joked and said ya right your going to the bar and we Laugh and I said I wish but we have to come back to watch goats. When we came back about a hr later Larry was still at the house doing some repairs and said everything was fine. So we did some cutting and then watched goats as it was getting dark Larry and his crew packed up and we stayed a while longer to watch goats. Before Larry left he told me that the neighbor had a Back Hoe coming next Sat the 4th and he was going to have that guy dig and remove the roots from the ground..  We left Sat night about 8 pm when it started rain and Plan to come do some cutting on Sun. Sunday am it was rain pretty good so we stayed home until Monday. Monday 8 am my guy left the Barn to go cut, I goat a Call from Larry at 9am and ask what the plan was.. I told him my guys on his way to do the cutting. Witch is the second day of the job. My guy started cutting about 9:15 and cut all day. He left the Job at 5 as he was done doing the cutting. Few days latter Larry called and ask for $400 back because he had to pay the back Hoe guy for removing the roots and the stocks the goats didn't eat. I told him NO and now he got mad and is saying bad stuff  about Goat Trimmers In 5 years we have done 526 Goat Clearing jobs and yes we cant please everyone and I'm sure some are unhappy as Larry said 5 complaints that's 1% of our costumers with I like to say its 0% but sometimes we can't please them all.As for Taxes we have a CPA witch does out taxes every 3 month, called quartiles. Our taxes are up to date.

Mike Just wanted to let you know about how pleased I am with my experience with Goattrimmers. A year ago in July, I hired Goattrimmers to bring goats to clear property of brush and blackberries. This is a steep slope that would be dangerous to clear with manpower. You came and brought goats and it was awesome!  Fencing was put up around the area and the goats set to what they do best, eating EVERYTHING!  It took a few days to clear our property and the neighbors property next door. (They wanted it too once I told them what we were doing ) Neighborhood was in goat adventure mode. People came from blocks away to watch them effectively clear property. It was wonderful to watch and spend time with these little beauties. I learned so much about the perfectly green and effective way of clearing property of brush and blackberries. I highly recommend Goattrimmers, people love the experience and it's results are amazing. A year later the property is still clear.Teresa  Smith

Ps. Notice the goats are smiling in the photos :-)

Saw the rebuttal from Don Miller on the site and want to share a additional report listed on Yellow pages review of Goat Trimmers LLC.

Looks like another client of Don Miller who made the mistake of paying in CASH. When Don Miller gets paid cash for a job it appears he has a pattern on not finishing a job. please review above  super pages review.

I would like to agree with Don Millers comments about the "bad comments" I made after he failed to follow his agreement to refund 400.00. Below are my comments.

• Hi Don, Larry Foster can you call me to set up appointment to get my refund?



• Hi Don, Larry Foster here when can I get a call from you to set up a time to meet and pick up my refund?



• Hi Don, Why have I not heard from you concerning the refund for my job?
