DV Lawn Hydroseeding Power Raking

Sep 2023

We originally signed our mowing contract with Doug Vargo, the original owner of DV Lawn Maintenance. We agreed on a rate and paid in full for the entire mowing season. Then suddenly at the beginning of August, we get an unprofessional-looking letter in the mail telling us that the business has been taken over by a new owner, Michael Butcavage, and he wants a copy of our contract.

This is a fraudulent business. We signed a mowing contract with the owner, Doug Vargo, paid in full for the whole season. Midway through the season, we get an unprofessional looking letter in the mail telling us that the business is being taken over by someone else, named Michael Butcavage. This person literally wrote that he is the new owner of the company and will strive to complete the necessary services, and asks to us to send a copy of our contract, which will "ensure that he will continue to provide the service as agreed between us and Doug, at the same price". When we reached out to this Michael, he informed us that the original owner, Doug, is in trouble with the FBI and had fled the country. When we asked if our lawn mowing service would be maintained, Michael refused to honor the contract, told us that our lawn is too complicated, and asked for more money. This individual has also harassed us via text message after we posted a review of this business elsewhere. Do NOT do any business with DV Lawn Maintenance or with Michael Butcavage. Michael Butcavage is condescending, a liar, and a greedy crook.
