I had gravel and a weed barrier installed in my backyard as per my contract, but I was planning to tackle the front yard next year. While I was away, my landscaper offered to do the front yard for a good price since he had leftover gravel. I agreed and paid him $1800 more, but now I'm seeing weeds sprouting in the front! Upon checking, I noticed there was no weed barrier put down like we discussed. I'm worried, should I confront him about this?

It sounds frustrating, but you really should reach out to him. You paid a good amount, and it's reasonable to ask why the weed barrier wasn't included. It's not confrontation; it's just getting clarity on what you paid for. You might be surprised with how he responds!
Definitely. Just approach it casually. If he says he didn't include it in the deal, then at least you know for next time.
From a contract standpoint, you're in a tough spot since there wasn't a new agreement for the front work. But you might still get some cash back if you can show he promised the barrier. Don't shy away from the conversation; it's part of getting what you pay for!
Chemicals seem like a pain! Just try talking to him instead and see if he can help you out.
Yeah, exactly! And honestly, you might just have to treat weeds with pre-emergent instead.
Agreed, stand up for yourself! The last thing you want is to be stuck paying for something that wasn't delivered.
