anyone have an issue with landscapers trucks and trailers letting their ramp crash down on the bottom a[of a driveway?? My neighbor's landscaper pulls in front of my driveway and drops his ramp down on the bottom of the driveway then runs his mower off the ramp causing more damage. these painted driveways are nor easily repaired.. I need to speak to him, but I do not speak the language..

Trust me you speak the language. A little pointing and talking in an angry voice and he WILL get the message.

Is there a phone # on the truck? I'd start there...

Get photos or a video then contact the landscaper. If that fails your other option may be small claims court.

What would one do on a phone call if he cannot speak the language.
Approach him the next time it happens……starting with a smile. He may not even know there is a problem.

My opinion. I would photo them doing it and the damage. There is what should be and reality. In reality, the gardener saying yes I did it and I will pay to have it repaired for you.
Would be a pleasant shock.

We do not know you or your neighbor. You must decide what you want, what you think is fair. Or would you be happy if the gardener, mover guy simply was told by your neighbor to stop doing this. Things are tight around here. Many of the mowing people use trailers that are far too wide for the streets. They are not allowed to block your driveway. They may only be there for 15-20 minutes. You need to decide if it is worth it. Someday you might have your home painted, new roof etc. Can get uncomfortable with you and a neighbor trying to get even with each other.

OP, IMHO, your neighbor has no responsibility in this matter. You could ask them for the name and contact phone number if it is not on the truck, then explain to them the nature of the problem and ask for their help in the matter. A complaint with seniors against crime may get the companies attention.

Need video evidence. Get a house camera for thirty bucks off Amazon. I surround my house with them

great solution...don't paint your driveway if they are that fragile

Are you in a curve or what? I don’t understand how that could happen. In Spanish just say “No aqui por favor” . Share a picture please

If doing business in Florida he is required to have insurance. Show him the damage and have his insurance correct. If no go, take him and company to court. He will find a way to communicate.

Hmmm... not sure what the issue is.It'd be different if you tried to talk to him. Sounds like you didn't. Go out and speak with the man...language barrier or not. I'm sure he will get the gist of what you're saying quite easily. Or, somebody in his crew must understand. No need for lawyers, insurance, getting into it with your neighbor, crimes against seniors or whatever else anyone can think of. In the end, he's just a man, working hard to support his family.Yes, it's annoying and yes, it can damage your driveway. Tell him. Most likely he'll be happy to comply.

Seniors against crime.

USELESS and not helpful.
