1.0 Travis m G. Jacksonville, FL
8/26/2021

This was one of the worst experiences I have had as a homeowner. The sales guy stopped by to measure my project area which required 1.25 pallets of sod. He neglected to tell me that he can only order full pallets so the order was for 2 pallets of sod. I was promised the highest quality sod unlike what you will find at one of the box stores. When the sod was delivered, it was anemic at best. The 4 man crew was efficient in removing the old sod and installing the new sod. As I stood in my living room watching them finish up, I watched one of the guys toss about 12 pieces of sod into the discard pile. When I said that would only pay for what was actually installed, I was told that I was responsible for 2 full pallets. Well, after 3 months, there are still dead patches and the rest still has not blended with the surrounding grass. The owner came out and agreed that the product wasnt the best and to give it a month. After that, he would replace it free of charge. I have tried reaching out several times with no response. I will have to replace the sod for a 2nd time. Very disappointed.

Response from Company:

Travis i am sorry to see this review. we quote you on the size project you are requesting to be complete, the left over sod is then thrown away, you did not pay for the extra sod or the labor the discard it, you paid for the project itself. We have left over sod every job we do, there is no way to get an exact amount, we pay for the pallet. On the condition of the sod, it was in good health, we buy our sod from an outside source, i did come out and look at your lawn and we did speak, the left side of your house you were watering the new sod with a sprinkler that you would buy at Lowes and not your irrigation system, that will not water the lawn enough, the other issue I saw when i was there was the tree in the back yard blocked the water from hitting a spot where we installed the sod, What i told you about replacing the sod was i would come out and swap pieces out that were not taking within 30-40 days at no cost, i was not going to replace your entire yard. there would be no use replacing those areas if the problems were not addressed.

Experience was exceptional. James reviewed the job and gave a fair price for material and labor to complete the job. The crew arrived when scheduled with sufficient manpower and proper tools to complete the task. I would highly recommend them to others.

James and his crew were very professional and did an amazing job on our yard. He cleared our yard, laid the sod down the same day and left no debris. It has been 3 months and the sod still looks amazing. We are very pleased with our yard and would recommend the Groundâ s Guys to anyone interested in getting sod installed.

They did a good job prepping the job-site, good job laying the sod, but they did not roll it properly. Rolled it too fast and the sod didn't make good contact with the soil : 75 % of the sod died within a month , and another 10% died within another week . I am truly disappointed in looking at dead, brown sod . A lot of money, time, effort and watering for nothing . Maybe, I should have put down top-soil before having the sod installed, that is the only factor other than it not being rolled propertly , that may have contributed to not rooting into the soil . I have since top-dressed it with topsoil to improve soil composition , a wait and see if it helps .

Response from Company:

Thomas We are sorry to hear that you had an issue with our process, I wish you would have reached out to us so we could have come out to look at your property. We haven't had any other issues with our sod. We cannot fix a problem if we don't know about it.

They took their time to get rid of the old grass and weeds. Killed the grass and weeds a week prior to install. Tilled up the ground prior to install. The grass was cut for the first time today and my yard looks amazing!

They do what they say they are going to do. They show up to give a quote when they say they will and they show up to do the work when they say they as scheduled. Very professional.

Response from Company:
