Discount Lawn & Tree Mr. Michael Davis Wildfire Victim Gets Scammed by Landscaping Company Amarillo, Texas

In March, 2011, I was a victim of the north Amarillo wildfires.  I lost mostly landscaping, along with horse fencing and a horse trailer.  I hired an Amarillo landscaping company, Discount Lawn & Tree to replant, replace, and remove all landscaping, fencing, retainer walls, railroad ties, and concrete filler that was burned in the fire.  The company asked for half the amount upfront ($3800) and a cashier's check was given to the owner, Mike Davis, and the contract was signed on June 6, 2011.

Over the course of one month, this company worked one day on my property (5 hours) and made excuses over the phone as to why they had not returned to work on my property.  The owner informed me by email that his company had ordered my landscaping supplies (railroad ties) from a Colorado wholesale distributor.  When Discount Lawn & Tree never showed up with the railroad ties, I contacted the only two wholesale distributors in Colorado and neither distributor had any order for Discount Lawn & Tree or for the owner, Mike Davis.  I proceeded to contact local nurseries that Discount Lawn & Tree had said that they had ordered my trees and shrubs from, and there were no orders from any of the nurseries.  

I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint on June 28 after being told lies and never again seeing Discount Lawn & Tree on my property.  My BBB complaint was disregarded, and I received a letter in the mail that they had filed my compliant as a "Letter of Experience."  In August, 2011, I filed suit against Discount Lawn & Tree in Small Claims Court and was awarded judgment on January 11, 2012.  The court gave Mr. Mike Davis and Discount Lawn & Tree thirty days to refund my money, which they have never done to this day.  I filed an Abstract of Judgment in February, 2012 against Mr. Davis and Discount Lawn & Tree.
