Mystery of missing Edmonton lawn solved
By Brent Wittmeier, Postmedia News June 14, 2011
EDMONTON — Turf war? No, just a landscaper with bad directions.
A front lawn went missing from a northeast Edmonton home due to a mistaken address, the owner of a landscaping company said Tuesday.
After a couple of days away, Denise Thompson arrived home Sunday to a bizarre scene — her front lawn scraped away, with no explanation to be found.
Neighbours noticed a white truck and trailer at the home over the weekend — and the replacement of lush green grass with dark brown soil — but thought nothing of it, assuming it was a routine landscaping job.
It was a mistake, said Patrick Kukanu, owner of Kupak Landscapes Ltd.
"Our bobcat guy . . . had the wrong address," said Kukanu.
When the company learned of the error, it made several attempts to contact the homeowner but nobody was home.
They finally connected after the company went to Thompson's house Monday evening and left a note. The company offered to replace the lawn immediately on Tuesday but settled on a future date to re-landscape the lawn.
"It's an error, and we'll gladly correct it." said Kukanu.
