‘A lot of rich people don’t appreciate hard work’: Landscapers’ Bold Response to a Payment Snub

In the picturesque town of Palmetto, Florida, a landscaper named Kelly Guerrero faces an all-too-common dilemma: a client who refuses to pay. But Kelly’s response is anything but ordinary.

Amidst the backdrop of decorative gravel, pavers, and succulents, a bold decision is made, sparking intrigue and debate. What happens when a professional’s patience meets its limit on a freshly paved driveway? Let’s find out.

The Incident

Kelly Guerrero, a landscaper, decided to document when her company disassembled the decorative gravel, pavers, and plants they had installed at a client’s residence.

The video, which showcases the company’s finished product on one side of the driveway and the removal process on the other, has been viewed 3.3 million times as of publication.

In the video, Kelly stands on the untouched driveway, showcasing her company’s finished product. She then moves to the other side, where at least 10 people are seen pulling up pavers and scooping up rocks around several succulents.

A text overlay in the video reads:

“POV you refuse to pay for your pavers so we send the repo crew.”

Public Reaction

The video has elicited a variety of reactions from the public. Many have applauded the landscaper’s actions, with comments such as “Well done! Never let your hard work be FREE,” and suggestions to publicly shame the homeowners for not paying for the work on the driveway.

One user recommended having someone outside with a sign indicating the homeowners’ refusal to pay as a means to embarrass them in front of their neighbors.

However, only some people agree with the landscaper’s approach. Some argue that the company had no right to touch someone’s property and could potentially face legal repercussions for repossessing the driveway materials.

Concerns about potential lawsuits and the legality of the repossession have been raised, with some advising to let the courts handle such matters.

Legal Perspective

The incident has even caught the attention of legal experts, with one user specializing in legal content pondering whether to create a ‘Lawyer’s Reaction’ video to discuss the legal aspects of the situation.

In response, Kelly mentioned that she had screenshots documenting permission and an agreement with the property owner.

The 2023 Florida Statutes, section 713.15, delineates the legal provisions for repossessing unused materials in property improvements. Suppliers can peacefully reclaim materials if they haven’t been paid, relinquishing any property liens or claims for the material’s cost.

This right remains unaffected even if the materials are sold or transferred from the site, except in specific circumstances detailed in the statute. However, the right to reclaim is limited to the unpaid amount for the materials. If partial payment was made, a refund for that portion must be issued upon repossession.

This law aims to prevent disputes and lawsuits by facilitating a peaceful resolution between property owners and suppliers.
