    Amazing, a property like that and he doesn't want to pay 5k. I can't stand people contracting work when they have no intention of paying.

    We do a lot of 50-250k projects and have pay plans for residential. (Commercial is different of course). Our frustration is always when the client holding the last 10-20% and keeps nit picking everything. We were the same way on payment leniency but people are pushing it to far in our area. Next year we are implementing some late fees that won’t be waived.
    Awesome videos it’s fun to relate to the same day-day problems we all have.

    If u own a business like this, everyone has people who don't pay or not on time. It is so frustrating to me, but you are right to be patient and do the right thing on your end and see what direction u will have to take.

    An agronomist is a turf grass specialist. Oldest trick by a developer in the book. That's why written contracts are so important. As a side note- the mulch volcanoes on those trees now would automatically void the warranty in my contracts.

    Hi Tom, it is amazing that when it comes to money some people think that if they avoid you and not reply at all they think you will just give up and go away.
    If people are honest they will always call to work out a payment plan or ask for more time to pay. People that don't will eventually burn a lot of bridges and no one will do business with them.
    Having the For Sale sign is probably a clue that he is not doing very well Financially so hope you end up getting paid in the end.

    My invoicing service offers a debt collection service which they charge 1.2% of the total cost of the bill. Getting paid 98 cent on the dollar, getting paid the day of and not having to bother with debt collecting is quite nice.

    I would tell the guy that if the payment is not received, then the trees/shrubs that were not paid for will be removed from the property by "x-date." Usually they will pay same day (from my experience). We had customers back when I landscaped full time that didn't like to pay. 99% would pay once they received notices like that...but there were those 1% that we did go back and remove items like trees, walls, patios, driveways, etc. They would call the police and the the police said we were within our rights to remove them as they were still our property. Same things when the "legal" notices arrived. People just overall suck.

    Non payment. Great topic but depends on your local laws. Some states allow you to hold part of the property as a lien for payment. Eventually they'll end up fighting to keep their house because of the lien. Crappy way to do it, but hey, you can't waste time

    It's just extremely sad as business owners to encounter this problem.. in any business, regardless if the quote is $300 or 50k.. dont accept it and make good honest people come and do work if your intentions are not to pay.. this particular senerio rings true of an entitled narrsasist showing of his palace to the world without any regard of actually paying the professionals who ultimately stimulate his ego... worst customer run away.. take him to court get your money.. minus legal fee never will make a profit on this one.. move on keep your head high

    Agronomy is the science and technology of producing and using plants by agriculture for food, fuel, fiber, chemicals, recreation, or land conservation. Agronomy has come to include research of plant genetics, plant physiology, meteorology, and soil science. It is the application of a combination of sciences such as biology, chemistry, economics, ecology, earth science, and genetics. Professionals of agronomy are termed agronomists.
