About Chula Vista Lawn Care
The official website of Chula Vista Lawn Care is www.chulavistalawn.com. However, www.chulavistalawncare.com actually belongs to Chula Vista Lawn Care Services, which seems to be operating with an expired Chula Vista business license. Keep reading to get ALL THE FACTS…

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:

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:

  1. www.sdlandscapesolutions.com         (Also advertises as Landscape Solutions)
  2. www.chulavistasprinklerrepair.com    (Also advertises as Landscape Solutions)
  3. www.sdlandscapesolutions.com         (Also advertises as Landscape Solutions)
  4. www.sandiegolandscapesolutions.com
  5. www.getmorelawnbusiness.com
  6. www.chulavistasod.com
  7. www.sodsandiego.com

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:

“Various times, I’ve expressed to Mr. Pierrat that marketing the same domain name with an almost identical company name as my company name is hurting my business. Numerous people have told me that his website misled them into thinking they were doing business with Chula Vista Lawn Care. Repeatedly, I have asked Mr. Pieratt to sell me the domain name. But, his unreasonable asking price of $15,000 looks like he stands to lose a lot of profit”, declares Mr. Ludwick.

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.
