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.

Mohamed Hadid, known for building celebrity mega-mansions, was in the process of building the roughly 30,000-square-foot 901 Strada Vecchia in Bel Air. This property sits next to Walton Laurie's property, but has been plunged into building purgatory. After it drew the ire of some of its neighborsin particular, an entertainment lawyer who lived below the property and worried that it would slide down the hill and crush his housethe City looked into the complaints. The L.A. Department of Building and Safety pulled the home's construction permits last fall.

According to Hadid's lawyer, Bruce Rudman, one of the City's requirements had been that they build a retaining wall to hold up the hillside. It's this wall that Walton Laurie says damaged her tree by cutting into the tree's roots, the Beverly Hills Courier reports. Her company, LW Partnership, has filed a summary judgement in L.A. Superior Court against 901 Strada Vecchia, demanding that portions of the wall be removed and that she be paid $90,000 for the damage to the tree. How many trees have sacrificed their lives to make way for new Walmart superstores, we can't be certain, but this particular eucalyptus tree sure was special to the family.

The wall is 200 feet long and is 8 feet high in some places, but in others, up to 18 feet high. The summary judgement states that the wall "stands at least 100 feet on the neighboring family's property without the family's consent."

Rudman disagrees. He says that the new retaining wall simply replaces an old one that had been in the same spot previously. He said that decades earlier, Walton Laurie's land and the property belonging to the mega-mansion were one, but about 80 years or so ago, they were cut up. At that time, a wall was built to separate the two parcels. This new wall replaces that one, and it traces the exact same line, he says.

As for the tree, Rudman disagrees with that too. He says an arborist declared that the tree is just fine, and if anything is to blame for a rough patch in the tree's health, it's the drought.
