Customers sue Crewcut Lawn Care for work not done

Curt Reinsmith isn't asking much.

He just wants Crewcut Lawn Care to finish the job he said was left unfinished at his Catasauqua home in November 2013.

He told me Crewcut, of Whitehall Township, installed landscaping beds but didn't finish reconstructing a small brick walkway and didn't remove tree stumps from the backyard. He paid $5,400.

Reinsmith isn't the only one who says Crewcut Lawn Care hasn't performed. Five customers have sued Crewcut since August, alleging they paid for work they didn't receive. Others have complained to the Better Business Bureau.

I talked to Ben Scheirer, Crewcut's owner, on Dec. 15. He told me he'd "take care" of Reinsmith's remaining work within the next few days or week, that he'd have to hire someone to remove the stumps.

"We did leave him go for a little while there, only because I was trying to find someone else to complete the job," Scheirer said.

There isn't much work left to be done on the walkway. Only a row of bricks is missing, though Reinsmith says the walkway isn't level.

Six weeks after Scheirer told me he'd take care of the work, it remains unfinished, though it looks like there's finally some progress being made.

Reinsmith said Scheirer came by Wednesday with a tree service to mark the stumps to be removed. Reinsmith said he was told the work would be done when the weather permits, which is fine with him. He said Scheirer also agreed to resolve the issue with the walkway.

Reinsmith told me he feels "a lot more confident" that the work will be done.
