You should seek damages from the landscaper for letting the plants die, the mgmt company should not be responsible for your landscaping or managing the landscaper unless you have it in writing.Its hard for the carpet issue.

I am currently work for a large flooring corperation and I do the electrical and mechnical work at the plant.

To my surprise the seller left the refrigerator, washing machine, Hoover vacuum cleaner, a jar of pennies probably $25 a plant on the fireplace with a card addressed to the new owner wishing me much happiness in the new home.

Lovely plants and mulch will, though. 

I went by my property today,  and to my surprise,  the back yard is full of bamboo plants (shoots?).  

(Note: plants and pets should be vacated from premises.)I don't understand the science so you'll have to google it yourself.

They have made a mess on the back porch by attempting to grow plants out there and they are all dead and scattered everywhere. 

You have to till the soil, fertilize it, plant the seeds and water them before you can pick the harvest.

I know landscaping can add some nice curb appeal, but what good is it if the plants die or they are under snow when it hits the market in late January/early February?
