SOD DEPOT

The men worked hard and did a good job of laying the sod. But the sod itself had a lot of weeds and other grass in it. Was not happy with the sod.

Went to Sod Depot on a Saturday to pick up a few pieces of sod. Was very impressed with the partial pallet of Floratam on site. Spoke to the clerk and asked if I ordered sod by the pallet, would it be the same quality as the sod on the premises. Was assured it would be. Was told Tuesday was the soonest it could be delivered. Called Sod Depot after it was delivered as the top pieces were dried out and filled with patches of dead grass. Not yellow from lack of sun, but literally dead. About 20% of the sod was affected. Clerk informed me it was probably just cut from a different part of the sod farm. Felt like she just wanted me off the phone. The quality of the sod was not consistent. Would have two rows on the pallet where the grass was firm and then the next row literally fell apart as it was pulled from the pallet. When I received the invoice with the delivery, showed "Sod Sold As Is" in a very large font. There is a reason for that statement. Day after it was laid, noticed there were weeds in the sod. Not just a few weeds, but heavily infested. Was not able to pull the weeds out by the root. Had to pick the sod up and turn the piece over to see what the problem was. Weeds had a tuber-like root system that were 1/4" to 1/2" thick and intertwined in the grass. That's when I noticed that the piece was swarming with at least three types of worms. Had to treat the new sod with Spectracide. Am still trying to get the weeds out without damaging the sod but not having much luck. Have introduced a new very aggressive weed into my yard. BUYER BEWARE! Better off to purchase weed and worm free sod from Home Depot. If it doesn't grow, you can return it. Better quality, also.
