Complaint Review: Luis Guzman - Diaz Landscaping

Luis Guzman and his partner, Tony Burkett, canvassed my neighborhood on Saturday, February 13th, 2021 looking to make some quick cash cutting down trees. After walking my property and pointing out what they could do, Tony said he would give me the "Saturday Special" for $850 if I would pay in cash. At first I was hesitant, but Tony came across quite personable and promised that all the tree trimming and removal would be done in two days. I reluctantly paid him $400 in cash and told him that he would get the remainder once the job was completed.

He did 30 mins of work and then said he had to leave, but would be back tomorrow. He came back the next day while I was on a work conference call. He asked for a check and said he would finish the job. He never did. He took the money and ran. After several days of calling and texting him, he claimed his truck was broken and needed a part.

I have since had no communication with him. After doing some research, I found out that he has been in and out of prison on multiple occasions for check fraud and cocaine distribution. His partner, Luis Guzman, is practicing without a license and is not bonded. He also has changed his company name at least six times in the past couple of years. There are scamming people out of their money and it needs to stop.
