A landscaper executed a sweet bit of brutal revenge on a customer who refused to pay the bill for a new lawn, and people are flooding to social media to offer their opinion on the matter.
Everything in life costs some dollar, nothing comes free in 2024 - but some people try to get things they really should be paying for at nothing at all.
And this often comes at a cost of another individual - perhaps the one providing the service in the first place.
A landscaper who became a victim of such a situation ended up getting some sweet revenge on one non-paying customer, and people on the internet are all for it.

The revenge came from Katelynn Greene, who runs a successful landscaping company with her partner.
She took to TikTok to discuss one job she took that consisted of her laying down some turf for someone.
It's certainly a simple day's work for anyone in that profession, but laying down turf comes with some rules you need to follow if you're going to end up with luscious green locks of grass.
And unfortunately, one customer reportedly didn't take heed to Katelynn's advice and, well, a heatwave didn't help much in the equation either.
The result? Some extremely dry and yellow grass and one very unhappy customer, who, instead of blaming themselves or the weather, decided they'd refuse to pay Katelynn instead.
The landscaper explained: "We did this job for this woman, we did her front and back grass but she happened to want it done during the heatwave.
"So the grass has gone a bit yellow but it shouldn't have had she watered it the way she was advised to."
She added: "I’m like, ‘Yeah, but you didn’t water it. You were advised on how to cater for your grass. You didn’t do it, and I’m here to collect the check today. You said it was Saturday.
"You’re continuing to cause delays. This isn’t how things go; you’re gonna have to pay."
No matter how hard she tried to explain the situation, the customer was simply not convinced.
"Everything I said to try and be cooperative wasn't pleasing her."
In the end, the landscaper decided to take drastic action. If the customer wasn't going to pay for the service, then they weren't going to get their turf.
"That’s how the story goes. They didn’t pay. We had a whole audience, ripped up all their grass, and we’re leaving it there, so it’s a warning sign for anybody who wants to do their grass next. Why do you think it looks like that? ‘Cause they didn’t pay," she said.
Viewers on TikTok rushed to support the landscaper after she posted the viral video.
One posted: "I had something similar happen last year. I pulled up all our supplies as well. Good for you"
Another wrote: "It’s a fee for service… they got the grass and the services, after care is on HER."
While a third replied: "My husband did this to windows… refused to pay, started to take out our windows, got the first one out and they changed their mind real quick."
