"I've never seen any type of service provider that didn't charge a service call to come an access the request. Trying calling A/C techs, electricians, they're service charge costs are astronomical.."
We gave this co. a glowing review shortly after the sod was done in early April. BIG MISTAKE!
The following a shortened version of what happened afterward. --- Everything took so long, as we were so often told, "Someone will call you this afternoon or first thing in the morning." Usually, no one did. We had to be persistent. The lawn soon started dying and it took a long time for someone to come and look at it. The dying cause was a mystery, and there were many kinds of weeds, mostly crabgrass. Another lawn they had done at the same time was dying too. Allen's had someone come out and spray, then nearly everything died. (I just don't remember how many times some area of the lawn was replaced. This has gone on for so many months!) But, all the new stuff was mostly crabgrass, and was replaced too. At one point, they ran out of sod and had to come back another day. That may have been because, by the time they came, more of the old sod had to be removed.
All that replacing resulted in a lumpy yard. We were told it will eventually level out. The whole lawn very quickly filled with more crabgrass. I suppose it was because of all the seed that was in there. Two men came on 2 days and pulled out wheelbarrows full of crabgrass. There were lots of bare, dead spots in the yard. We were told that would fill in. It hasn't yet. Those spots are more susceptible to weeds, and grass is not filling in. We do not understand why Allen's kept using sod from the same sod farm!!!
We are 78 and 80 years old. We've given up trying to keep up with most of the weed pulling and are now concentrating on trying to keep ahead of the crabgrass. That seems to be something that will take over the centipede grass. Hopefully, when the weather cools, a professional can eliminate the other weeds. This is not our first sod lawn. We have never had results such as this!!
The people at Allen's have always been pleasant when talking with us, and I know they have tried hard. (We have always been pleasant too). You'd never find a harder working, more pleasant crew. But, Allen's does not return my phone calls or respond to my e-mails now. It is very sad to see all the money and time spent, and have such an awful looking lawn.
"I feel that Mr. [Member Name Removed] is being very unfair in his grading of Allen's Sod. Since I am the office manager I know that there were many, many, many calls & correspondence made with the Boohers & we did everything, over & above to satisfy the customer. Really sorry things turned out as they did."
