 Chula Vista Lawn Care business card
CAUTION: If searching for Chula Vista Lawn Care, YOU MUST READ THIS!
The Debt Free League Blog teaches people in debt how to fight back against the injustices of banks and debt collectors. We also occasionally expose other unfair business practices, such as in this review of Chula Vista Lawn Care and Chula Vista Lawn Care Services (www.chulavistalawncare.com): THE REAL COMPANY THE IMPOSTOR About Chula Vista Lawn Care Chula Vista Lawn Care officially resides in the city of Chula Vista and has been serving the South Bay since 2003. The sole proprietorship is owned by Charles A Ludwick. The Contractors State License Board website confirms that Mr. Ludwick has an active, C-27 contractor’s license (number 964077). His company specializes in the following commercial and residential landscaping services: • Lawn & garden Ludwick’s company has a recognizable client list, including Jack in the Box, Chevron, Union 76, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Dairy Queen, AM PM, and Motel 6. According to the Better Business Bureau website, the landscaping contractor is a BBB-accredited member with an A+ rating and zero filed complaints. ****************************************************** About Chula Vista Lawn Care Services (www.chulavistalawncare.com) Our review of Chula Vista Lawn Care Services dug up troubling information. The first warning sign is that their website does not list a physical mailing address. They only list a P.O. Box. Secondly, their phone number, (619) 904-LAWN (5296) forwards to a recorded greeting from “Landscape Solutions.” At the time of this review, the city of Chula Vista found no business license records for Landscape Solutions and confirmed that the business license of Chula Vista Lawn Care Services expired since 2004. We also learned that the “(619) 904-LAWN (5296)” is also on various websites of San Diego Landscape Solutions Inc. Again, the city of Chula Vista could not find an active business license for San Diego Landscape Solutions Inc. The Contractor’s License Board and Better Business Bureau recognize Brett Pieratt (also a C-27 landscaping contractor) as owner of San Diego Landscape Solutions Inc. According to the Whois database on domain name registration records, Brett Pieratt is also owner and registrant of www.chulavistalawncare.com and all of the following domain names:
THE BIG CONCERN… Why does Brett Pieratt, owner of San Diego Landscape Solutions Inc., own www.chulavistalawncare.com? And, why is this licensed contractor soliciting business under the disguise of “Chula Vista Lawn Care Services”? Although the answer is not entirely clear, the following statement from the real owner of Chula Vista Lawn Care provides a plausible explanation:
Note: On their website, Chula Vista lawn Care services has no disclaimer that their domain name is not the same as Chula Vista Lawn Care, or the company is owned by and/or affiliated with Brett Pieratt or San Diego Landscape Solutions Inc. YOU HAVE OPTIONS… The above Debt Free League Blog Review warns that a domain name doesn’t always represent the actual company and that all businesses don’t represent their services to the public in total transparency. If you are in Chula Vista, National City, San Ysidro or any other city in the South County, San Diego and are seeking a BBB-accredited, C-27, licensed contractor, feel free to apply for a FREE ESTIMATE at the correct website of Chula Vista Lawn Care.

This is crazy how often you hear about something like this. I find it so entertaining to read about because there are so many business out there that have the same types of problems like this one. I mean even some business tend to not pay taxes and for their employees.
sounds like cv lawn care service are just a bunch of crooks
I cannot believe what you said here. There are so many impostors on the market right now. We must not trust anybody, anymore!
This is a great lesson for us. We learned there are many impostors and we must not fall into their traps. We must not be naïve and we must not put our trust in anybody.
I really hate to hear about people doing things like this. To knowingly advertise under a domain that is basically the same as another business’s name is just unethical to say the least. I feel very bad for the real company who is no doubt losing sales to this company.
Does it ever occur to these kind of “business owners” that perhaps ONE day they will get caught and all of their shady ways will be exposed? Scary how few people truly have common sense and how few people are truly honest. I believe in karma and this is just the beginning.
It is appalling that some people can be so deceptive to do stuff like this. I also feel extremely bad for the real company because these crooks took their business. Glad it is ending and that these crooks are getting what they deserve in the end.
