| He is going a large scale week removal and he took my two mature peonies out. I’m devastated. |

| Fire him. I always stick around if plants are being removed. |

| What the heck? Why didn’t he recognize what the plants were? Is he just doing whatever he wants without any instruction? |

| OMG. That is pretty bad. |

Oh, OP! I'm so sorry. I would be heartbroken!
Can you ask them to replace them? Not the same, but...

| I would be devastated and he would be fired. Why are you weeding now though? |

| This is the difference between lawn cutters and true landscapers. I also learned this the hard way. You can ask him to buy you new ones and replace them. |

| Are you sure he didn't just cut them back? I cut mine every year but leave the buds and they fully are back next spring. |

| I'm so sorry, OP. That's not a gardener, BTW. Around here there are landscapers who don't know a weed from a plant. Be very careful if you ask them to remove anything. |
