If you’ve had a landscaper, put in their hard work into your garden, you’d better take care of it otherwise they might come back with an act of revenge.
According to one landscaper, a customer did not follow their instructions, which had disastrous consequences for their turf.
TikToker Katelyyn Greene runs a landscaping business with her partner and had laid down turf for someone.

She explained to them that they would need to water the grass, which is fair enough.
It was also during a heatwave, which only served to make the grass yellow even further.
She was confronted by the customer when she went to pick up the payment for the job, with them refusing to pay her after their grass went dry.

The landscaper explained to TikTok: "We did this job for this woman, we did her front and back grass but she happened to want it done during the heatwave.
"So the grass has gone a bit yellow but it shouldn't have had she watered it the way she was advised to."
She added: "I’m like, ‘Yeah, but you didn’t water it. You were advised on how to cater for your grass. You didn’t do it, and I’m here to collect the check today. You said it was Saturday.’

"You’re continuing to cause delays. This isn’t how things go; you’re gonna have to pay."
But the customer was simply not convinced.
She said: "Everything I said to try and be cooperative wasn't pleasing her."
In the end, the landscaper decided to take drastic action.

If the customer wasn't going to pay for the service, then they were taking the turf back.
She said: "That’s how the story goes. They didn’t pay. We had a whole audience, ripped up all their grass, and we’re leaving it there, so it’s a warning sign for anybody who wants to do their grass next.
"Why do you think it looks like that? ‘Cause they didn’t pay."

Viewers on TikTok found the situation commendable and praised her for her method.
One posted: "I had something similar happen last year. I pulled up all our supplies as well. Good for you."
Another wrote: "It’s a fee for service… they got the grass and the services, after care is on HER."
A third replied: "My husband did this to windows… refused to pay, started to take out our windows, got the first one out and they changed their mind real quick."
Let that be a warning! Water your turf or have it taken away.
