d and l landscaping

I have had an awful experience with these landscapers which I took from a recommendation on the forum. Do NOT use D and L Landscaping. They have taken a large deposit and done a terrible job. If anyone else want to report them please get in touch as they need to be stopped before they rip anyone else off.

We feel that it is necessary to reply to this ridiculous slating from a very difficult former client. From the start of this job he has been strange; changing decisions already agreed on numerous occasions,and then not transferring funds needed to continue with the work as specified in the original quote and agreed by him. Instead of discussing this with us he has chosen to try to slander us on this forum and has made threats to" chase us down" and comments such as scumbags etc etc. We were warned by his current tennants that he is very difficult as a landlord and tried to avoid paying a previous tradesman which was worrying to hear. After not agreeing to further funding and suddenly becoming very rude and aggressive instead of calmly negotiating with us we decided to reluctantly stop the work and remove our tools. We have provided him with a breakdown of all costs/works and we are out of pocket. However, 2 days ago he was happy that we had "cracked the back of it" and what a complicated job it is.He is holding back over ?2000 pounds owed oabdn completion of 3 more days work. We were suspicious that as a property developer he doesn't appear to have a team working regularly for him. Finally he conducts himself in a highly unprofessional manner and we absolutely implore any local tradespeople to have nothing whatsoever to do with him. I would just like to add that he was uncontactable on far too many occasions when important decision needed to be made

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
