BIG CREEK LANDSCAPING, LLC v. HUDSON CONSTRUCTION COMPANY (Tenn.Ct.App. October 23, 2007).
This appeal involves a dispute between a contractor and a landscaping subcontractor over the subcontractor's installation of undersized trees and the contractor's subsequent invocation of the take over clause upon the landscaper's failure to cure the defect. Both parties asserted breach of contract, and the trial court awarded damages to the defendant contractor for the cost of completing the job through a third-party landscaper and for attorney's fees and expenses. Concurring with the trial court that the subcontractor breached the contract when it installed undersized trees and, despite sufficient notice and opportunity to cure, failed to do so, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
