Description of Work: HE WAS HIRED TO TRIM MY LILAC BUSH AND PUT GUTTER GUARDS ON.

THIS WAS A BUSY TIME OF YEAR (MAY 2003) FOR LAWN AND GARDEN COMPANIES, SO I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED SOME DELAY IN GETTING A RESPONSE, BUT DICKSON'S APPARENTLY ARE UNABLE TO HANDLE AND/OR INDIFFERENT TO RESPONDING TO POTENTIAL NEW CUSTOMERS.

+ -1 moreMIKE AND MICHELLE SEEMED VERY NICE, BUT THEY HAVE DROPPED THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAD FOR A SEASON OF MOWINGS.
Description of Work: I FOUND THIS COMPANY THROUGH ANGIE'S LIST. I GUESS I GOOFED! THERE WERE PROBLEMS IN THE BEGINNING OF MAY WHERE THEY DID NOT SHOW UP TO CUT THE LAWN AT ALL. AT THE END OF MAY, I WAS STILL CHARGED FOR 1 MOWING PER WEEK AND TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO BE DOING THE WORK ANYMORE - THEY WERE PASSING THAT PART OF THEIR WORK TO ANOTHER PERSON. I ASKED FOR A NAME AND PHONE NUMBER, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY COMMUNICATION FROM THE NEW PERSON. I DID HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THE DICKSON'S FOR THE WHOLE SEASON. THEY NOW HAVE A NEW PHONE NUMBER. THEY SEEMED LIKE A VERY NICE COUPLE, AND I WAS HOPEFUL FOR A LONG AND SATISFACTORY BUSINESS AGREEMENT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I FOUND THE COMPANY HERE AND THEIR REPORTS WERE MOSTLY POSITIVE.

+ -1 moreWE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE QUALITY OF HIS WORK. MIKE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND ACCOMMODATING; HE IS GOOD IN INCORPORATING OUR IDEAS INTO REALITY ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT. THE ONLY DOWN SIDE WAS THAT THE PROJECT TOOK LONGER THAN WE ALL EXPECTED. MIKE KEPT US UP ON THE REASONS OF THE DELAY. HE WAS BACKLOGGED AND HOPEFULLY HAS RESOLVED IT. WE ARE PLANNING ON USING HIM FOR FURTHER PROJECTS. THESE ARE THE FRIENDLIEST COMPANY I HAVE WORKED WITH.
Description of Work: MIKE HELP DESIGN AND THEN BUILT A BRICK PATIO OF MORE THAN 630 SQ FEET. THE PATIO IS VERY UNIQUE AND INVOLVES LIGHTING AND A POND AND WE LOVE IT.

+ -1 moreON THE ESTIMATE, HE STATED HE WOULD ROTO-TILL ALL THE AREAS. HE DID NOT DO THIS. HE ENDED UP JUST DIGGING THE WEEDS UP WITH A SHOVEL. SINCE HE DID NOT ROTO-TILL, ALL THE WEEDS GREW BACK. HE SAID HE WOULD COME BACK TO PUT MORE GRASS SEED DOWN, BUT HE NEVER CAME BACK. HE WAS ALSO SUPPOSED TO REMOVE WEEDS AND TREES GROWING BY THE FENCE BUT NEVER DID, NOR DID HE MAKE THE FLOWERBED. I HAVE ALREADY PAID HIM IN FULL. I FEEL HE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME. I WOULD LIKE HIM TO COME AND FINISH THE JOB OR REFUND MY MONEY FOR THE WORK NOT PERFORMED.
Description of Work: CLEAR THE GARDEN, REMOVE A COMPOST PILE, PUT DOWN GRASS SEEDS IN THE TWO AREAS, TURN OVER A SECTION OF LAND FOR A FLOWERBED.

Description of Work: CUT UP LARGE FALLEN TREE WHICH WAS DAMMING A STREAM, DUG OUT HUGE STUMP BY HAND TO ALLOW STUMP TO FALL DOWN HILL, FILLED CAVITY WHERE STUMP WAS. I WOULD CONSIDER HIRING THEM FOR BRUTE FORCE MANUAL LABOR IN A SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE TIME WAS NOT ESSENTIAL BUT WOULD NOT HIRE THEM FOR SOMETHING WHERE I NEEDED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IT WAS GOING TO BE DONE. DO HAVE TO FOLLOW UP BECAUSE THEY THINK JOB IS DONE WHEN IT ISN''T. NOTE THAT OTHER COMPANIES REFUSED TO DO THE STUMP WORK BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ACCESSIBLE TO HEAVY EQUIPMENT AND WORK NEEDED TO BE BY HAND.
