I sought an estimate for post wind-storm cleanup of fallen branches around my house and horseshoe driveway. On the scheduled cleanup day, the contractor arrived punctually, worked for 1.5 hours, and then declared the work complete. Although the area he finished appeared satisfactory, one side of the house and half the driveway were left untouched and strewn with debris. Upon raising this issue, he argued about the scope and tried to upsell to complete the 4th side of the house and the other half of the driveway. I paid the full $250 bid and feel cheated. I’ll know who not to call next time the wind blows...

Who requests cleanup on only three sides of the house, or only half the driveway? Nobody.
Not sure where your head was at but finishing the job in fifteen minutes and receiving a handsome holiday tip would have made a lot more sense than arguing about it with the guy who's about to pay you.
Best Wishes for the new year.
