Homeowner says she lost nearly 4,000 to cowboy gardener she found on Facebook

The story of a single mother, Sohal Navdeep, who paid a contractor £4,000 upfront for garden landscaping reveals the problem of cowboy builders who fail to deliver promised work after receiving payment.

The landscaper pressured Sohal for money upfront, promising a garden design featuring paving, planters, and fence boards with lights, but only laid about 10 slabs before disappearing, leaving the family without a usable garden.

This situation has caused Sohal distress as the incomplete work has left her and her children without a play area, affecting them emotionally. She expressed feeling depressed, having worked hard and saved up the money over a year.

Sohal took to social media to share her experience and warn others, highlighting the need for caution when dealing with contractors found online or on platforms like Facebook.
