Dixon's Property Maintenance

Was referred as a local company. Grass cutting, hedge trimming, driveway sealing and fall cleanup packages ordered.

They sent out a "foreman" to price the jobs I was interested in. I agreed to the proposed prices. Owner messages me and tells me he priced everything wrong and that he was going to honor the prices given even though they aren't what he would have quoted. Grass cutting 3 times was fine and the hedge trimming was too.

Get a message asking me to clear my driveway for it to be sealed the next day and I obliged. I removed all the branches from the driveway to the grass along side it. Moved all the other things in the driveway off and swept the large sections of debris.

The sub contractor that was doing the sealing stopped by and said there was no issue and that all the loose debris (leaves /tree debris) would be no problem as he could just blow it off before starting.

Get a message the next evening from the owner of dixons accusing me of not being forward with him and that I never cleared the driveway and that I cost him $75 more. We were out there 3 hrs making sure it was clean and not a single branch or large debris was on the driveway. We even swept the majority of the loose debris from the driveway.

Owner said he had never had issue with this sub and that I must not be straight either with him.

I asked him why they a) wouldn't have called me to let me know there was an issue or b) have pictures showing this supposed extra work they needed to do. He evaded and continued to use me being a businessman as an excuse to treat me this way.

I immediately told him to cease any further services on my property and that I will square up for services that were currently rendered with an invoice.

Grass cutting - 8/10

Hedge trimming- 8/10

Driveway sealing 5/10 (several cracks were not filled as per agreement but overall clean job)

Getting blamed for their issues - 0/10

If you can handle being berated and blamed when something goes wrong and not your fault then by all means I recommend them as average.

If you want a clean smooth service I would go elsewhere.
