Pay or Not Pay Gardening Invoice?!

A somewhat false analogy. Imagine you went to a restaurant, and ordered a 3 course meal. After the second course, they didn't bring out the final course and the waiters and staff just ignored you when you asked for the remainder of the food. What would you do then?

Pay for the food eaten (work done), i.e. course 1 and 2 (two weed treatments that were done and invoiced for) and not leave a tip.

Pay it in three months.

I really can't see what your issue is, they quoted for work and did it on schedule, the only thing they haven't done is bill you for the work as soon as it was complete. So you've had the benefit of several months interest free credit and you're complaining about it? Pay them and do so without seeming like a skinflint.

negotiate partial payment to represent the work they did do

As before replacing them you should have made efforts to resolve the situation and see they completed the rest of the work as agreed

edit: just seen your reply and that you did try contact them

But haven't they only invoiced for work done?

Of course you should pay it.


I'm amazed that you should take time on here to ask.....

If the first and second weed killer was systemic , were they just annual weeds that grew? You could have kept those down by hoeing.

Tell them you're very busy and will not be able to fit in their payment until the spring.
