Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was contacted to specifically deal with weeds within the landscape beds. XXXX XXXX an XXXX XXXX XXXX was dispatched to our residence to complete a site survey and convey the services the company would render. XXXX was escorted around the property and is noted via audio/video on surveillance system in which the specific weeds and vines were identified for removal.

This was the only service requested from XXXX XXXX XXXX on approximately XX/XX/2021. 

At a later date, an XXXX XXXX tech came to the residence to perform a service. Prior to service the tech was asked about the service plan he was to perform and he indicated he was going to spray the grass. The tech was informed that grass treatment was not in agreement with our service request and that he was only to treat the landscaping beds. At that point, the tech indicated that the chemical treatment was not intended to treat landscaping beds and that the chemical would in fact destroy all of the plants, weeds and flowers as the chemical can not isolate weeds from other plant life. At that point, the tech was told, not to perform any services short of treating weeds within the landscape beds. The tech informed us that, he was unable to perform this type of service and that we were misinformed as to the type of services XXXX XXXX XXXX performs, which is only to treat weeds, fungus etc, within grass and not landscaping beds. 

In conclusion, XXXX did not perform any related services based on what sold to us as a service.
