San Jose Sod Installation Companies

Extremely well. Eli is a master at communication, kept me informed of movements of his team; timing and adhered to that timing. They were respectful of special circumstances (dog). Acer Team cleaned up the site each evening when they were complete. Eli checked for feedback on the progress at key steps along the way. Perfect performance and professional approach.

Some of the work they did was very good and some was very bad. The yard cleanup was done pretty well. I would describe the sod work as a "D". Their timeliness was unreliable and the quality of the sod was substandard. The quality of lying the sod was only average. I would not use them again for sod. They didn't show up when they said they would. I felt that some of the time I was lied to. They were originally a sod company and expanded into the nursery business. I could understand if they had problems with the nursery part but the problem was with the sod. They were too expensive for the sod work; they were overpriced. I would not use them again. The quality of the plants were good but the sod was bad. It was a very unpleasant experience.

I called Maki as the work they did and the pricing from other reviewers seemed fair. The day they were supposed to come for the estimate, they were a no-show with no call to let me know. I followed up and he sent Sam Alusa. I negotiated a package of work and felt good about what was to be done. Throughout the project Sam kept telling me to 'trust him', as I continued to pay as he went. It was after the project was finished that I found out you don't have to pay more than a $1000 deposit for a contractor in the State of CA. This group was sloppy and left my project with several unfinished issues. There were 2 large cracks in my walkways within a week. Another long crack in the back patio. He said he guaranteed his work for a year and would fix everything. He has not fixed anything. My front porch, while it could have been cute, was left with cement marks all over the pavers because they didn't clean up. I can't fix that. The concrete is also dirty and won't clean off. They were sloppy. They took away most of the cement from my yard, but since they finished, I am constantly finding cement that was buried in various parts of my yard as well as garbage they left behind. They also buried the grass they pulled up instead of hauling it away. All of this was found as I was doing other projects. They poured a cement border around my yard which is crumbling away. They didn't use any sort of reinforcement in the cement for either the border or the patio, saying it wasn't a good idea in the event it needed to be fixed...well, a lot of good that did since they won't come back to fix it. The concrete that was poured for my patio slopes to the house, which will result in water in the house if I don't fix it. At the least I will spend another 4-5000 for a covered overhang as a possible fix. He charged me $1100 for sprinkler supplies to redo my system and may have spent $100. And I learned he didn't use anything that was new. The unit he used to connect the water to my pipes didn't have a pressure valve to prevent water from coming in the house if there was a problem. The piece he used was not up to code. I have already paid out $2000 to other contractors to repair the issues with my sprinklers and replace sod due to the sprinkler problems. Turns out this Sam guy didn't even give me his number, he gave me one of his workers numbers so I can't get in touch with him. I called Maki on 2 occasions asking to get this guy back to fix my work and never heard back. Maki states this wasn't his project, but I went through Angie's list for his services, not someone else's and I wasn't told that he sent it to another company who I now cannot locate. Maki, you need take ownership for this project and come back to fix it!

Very professional and arrived on time every day. We asked Sergieo to make a circle in the center of the lawn because we were going to move a bird bath into the circle. When we came back from doing some shopping we noticed that he and his helper had mover the bird bath for us. He went the extra mile.

Great for years, never increases prices without warning. He takes care of things that I don?t even ask for, he goes the extra mile.

Jose and his crew did a fantastic job. They were punctual and professional and we plan on using them for future projects and recommending them to family members and friends

I chose this company based on reviews elsewhere. The quality of sod delivered was excellent--attractive and freshly cut. The team that installed the sod knew what they were doing, and effectively installed into all the irregular curved shapes. The sod took well--everything was alive and well months later. I think it helped to have Delta Bluegrass people arrange the installation, because this reduced the time between when the sod was cut at their farm and when it was installed in my yard (a few hours later), which probably gives the sod the best start. Plus their installation people cost no more than any other choice.

CARLOS ORTIZ AND HIS ENTIRE STAFF ARE ALWAYS ON TIME AND COME PREPARED FOR THE JOB AT HAND. ALL THE STAFF ARE VERY NICE AND HARD WORKERS. THEY KEEP THE AREA THEY ARE WORKING IN VERY CLEAN.

Don and his team were the landscapers at a property where I was renting prior to owning my home. The yard was always beautiful there so I knew when my friend/ex-landlord recommend Don I was in good hands. Also, my budget was very tight and Don price was right for me. My job wasn't fancy, just some sod and rocks. I am happy with the work Don and his team did and I would recommend him.

Martin and hs team are amazing. I had three highly recommended landscapers provide proposals and most proposals came in at nearly the same amount. Martin's proposal was higher but he broke out every line item of work which allowed me to eliminate a few line items to bring the project within my budget. I chose Martin because he really knew what would work and not work. His recommendations were right on. The yard is not even complete (plants need to grow in) but the yard looks amazing. They really, really put in allot of hours and also brought the skiploader when they could not break up the old concrete like dirt piles. Again, the yard looks amazing! Martin also discouraged some plants I thought would be great because these plants want shade and when I went to the nursery, the nursery professionals said the same thing. He really know his stuff and I would highly recommend him. The downside is that a recommendation like this makes it more difficult to negotiate a lower rate. All in all, not the lowest cost provider but worth the extra money for lack of hassles, ability to communicate effectively, quality of work, and meeting schedules (caveat --- schedules don't matter when the weather changes). Unlike Yardcrashers, you can't lay sod in 2 days. Martin explained that it takes a week or more to prepare a yard for sod. He was right. They soild needs to be prepared and cultivated for awhile, along with rolled and allowed to settle, then fill again. The result is a yard that is so flat and perfect it looks like a professsional baseball field. Trully gorgeous.
