Hi,
My front yard landscaping project is becoming a nightmare, I am
wondering how should I proceed.

Just your losses and try a different contractor.. This guy will likely ask
for
more money and more delays.. If you want to see lots of this sort of
problem
watch "Holmes on homes" on Discovery Home or HGTV..
I think going with the lowest bidder is not the best option 99% of the
time..
You get what you pay for...
Definitely.. we did that with our tree removal and ended up with holes in
our
yard, and wood sitting in our front yard for months.. it took them 7 months
to finish the job.
Make sure that you get details (in writing) of what the job will consist of.
Be as
specific as possibe (type of stone used, time frames, etc.)
A good contractor will not balk at getting the details ironed out up front,
because
they know they do good work and aren't afraid to stand behind it.
