Dixon construction is a family owned and operated company and always will be. we offer discounts to seniors, military, ex military and their families. we are fully insured and give free estimates.

"Estimated completion was 2 weeks, it took 4 months. Workers were always different when they showed up. Roof had some overlaps that are unsightly since they did not measure correctly and didn’t take the time to do properly. New eaves that they installed leaked all over the place and they did not come back to fix though they claimed lifetime warranty. Some installed at wrong pitch to drain. Asked for money to pay along the way on job to pay his crew. Agreement was half down and the rest on satisfied completion. I held back $500 to see if he would come back and button up problems. He would not. Gave him many opportunities to rectify. Always had excuses and would not rectify issues. Always on vacation or sick, etc…."

Rototilling questions, answered by experts

It depends on the model of your pool. You’ll always have to level the topsoil, but most vinyl-lined pools require an additional 1- to 2-inch layer of sand to protect the liner. This way, when a foot kicks down to the bottom of your pool, it’s not scraping the liner against the hard ground. If your pool isn’t vinyl-lined, you can skip this step or add a layer of another base material, like decomposed granite. Always check your manufacturer’s instructions before you begin.

Yes, rain can affect the results of a perc test because it will partially saturate the soil and slow down the rate of drainage. Ideally, you should do a perc test during the driest time of the year and try to schedule it after a stretch of days where no precipitation occurs. This will give you the best chance of passing.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Yard grading is a key component of proper drainage because runoff naturally moves with respect to gravity. If you have low spots in your yard, rain and snowmelt will settle there and oversaturate the soil, promoting root rot and fungal growth. If the low spots are near your home’s foundation, you could even end up with foundation leaks or structural damage due to poor yard grading.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.
