I'm looking for some POS landscaper in Temecula that ripped me off for $3K. He and his wife are separated, so she says, and she doesn't know where he is...he a loser/tweaker. I"m sure she knows, but won't give him up. I took her to Small Claims court last month and won because she was listed on his business, now she appealed it, so I have to go back to court and start all over again. So how can I find him to "serve him" ? Isn't someone here a PI ? Hell I'll even post his company name so if any of you see his truck around, maybe get a lic plate # for me. He drives a gold Ford F150 with A BETTER LANDSCAPE SOLUTION magnetic signs. Damn why can't people just "work" for their drug money, instead of ripping everyone off. I'd hate to go hang out in Temecula all day looking for this POS, but it may come to that :crossx:

What's going on with landscapers in Temecula? One of my customers told me about their run in with the same situation. In picking out a landscaper they had two different companies take them to the same neighbors house and say "This is my work". They said one looked like a tweaker. After a bit of time they finally got to speak with the neighbor and find out which company put in the yard. It wasn't the tweaker. He is still bouncing around down there so you will probably catch up to him.

I live in Murrieta and I know a couple landscapers that did my work. They have grown up out here their whole life. I will ask them if they know of or know anybody that knows him.

By looking up the name of his company, he's not even a licensed contractor. What is the guy's name anyway?

I"ve found out that he uses a couple different company names and also has a couple different names himself. DAVID MICHAEL GRAY aka DAVID MICHAEL DEAN aka DAVID MICHAEL GRAY-DEAN (per his FBN filing in Riv Co.) of LANDSCAPE SOLUTIONS / A BETTER LANDSCAPE SOLUTION. His "alleged" ex wife is MICHELE RENEE ELWOOD, and she is listed as the sole owner of their home in Temeku Hills. What's funny is this guy came highly reccommended from (3) different realtors I know that have used him. So when things started going south, I did some checking, and found out he was also using a bogus contractors lic #. I know I shoulda checked into all this first, but I didn't...so what a dumbass I am !

Boy, this guy has probably been doing this for a VERY long time if the home is in her name. Good luck. Used to live there and worked with many different landscapers, but not this guy. I'm sure you'll be able to get something with the help of everyone here. :)

I think its landscaping in general, the low overhead and small amount of capital needed to start a landscaping outfit lends itself to fly-by-night guys and tweekers.

i would tell you to have "vito" take care of this one, but he's in conn. rolling around in the grass with "johnny-cakes" :cry: :rollside: the constant name changing means he has "alot" of license violations, so he just re-applies under a differnt name or business name. it's the low life way around the "system" - get that f ucker jeff - keyes

My wife use to work for the Public Defenders office at the Southwest Justice Center and still has many friends there. I gave her the guys info and she had his record pulled. He doesn't have any priors or anything other then the small claims you posted. However, the association of the development he/wife are at are suing them because they have not kept the landscaping up at their house. How is that for ironic. My wife also said, you can go to the court house and go to the clerks window and ask to have the Marshalls server David Michael Gray. They will take care of the rest for you.
I also have their address if that will help you at all. I've also passed this info on to an investigator of the PD's office who we are good friends with and he is going to see if there is anything he can do.
Let me know if you need her address.

Cool freaking site. You can find some interesting stuff about some of the local boat manufacturers. What I find really interesting is all the people that say there is no basis for saying why some say they would shy away from a certain boat manufacturer. Well the pudding is right in this here link.
