We hired the OB Sod team to replace sod that was removed during pool construction. Jose, the Sales supervisor responded quickly and came out for estimate the next day. They were able to schedule us pretty quickly. The crew were very polite to us and our neighbors. They worked quickly and kept the work area very clean. The sod is inspected for pest or disease by workers before delivery to ensure start up success. WE were provided start up and watering instructions. We would certainly hire them again.

Sod layed in March 2017.Never took in multiple areas. Now affected areas are covered with weeds and bare spots despite their monthly service.Waited 6 months for repairs as they informed me it was due to fungus and had to wait. Now wants to charge another labor fee for sod repair when product never died shortly after installation..

The sod was fresh and in great shape. It was ready for me as soon as I arrived, and was loaded onto my truck.

Instead of dumping the mulch to either side of the driveway like rational logical humans, they dumped it right in the middle like a hill growing out of my driveway. Thanks for that. I called and asked if it could be dumped on the left side. You didn't even have the courtesy to call me back and apologize.

The   end job is all that I was concerned about and anyone can look at my yard and tell they did an excellent job.  I am 74 and get lost in details.  I can only say, get to know the name of the person in charge of overall service (not the owner).

I put the sod down myself, but the sod they provided was high quality.  All of it took root really easily, and is growing exactly the way that I intended...  The delivery was really easy, and they always showed up exactly when they indicated they would.  I hope I don't need more sod, but I would definitely purchase from them again if I ever do...

They did the job, they were timely, they followed up, they were very professional, and used a good quality product. I would definitely use them again and have already recommended them to others.

OB Sod was thoroughly professional from the very start.  Their rep came out to give me an detailed estimate.  He was on time and worked quickly to assess my needs, made a few suggestions, discussed two options and wrote up a proposal for the project.  Once I decided to engage OB, I simply signed the contract and emailed it back.  I received a call shortly afterward to schedule the job.  All dates were met promptly.  On Tuesday morning, a crew showed up to start cutting/removing the old lawn.  They worked hard and fast.  At noon, a second truck with a second crew showed up to assist.  By 1 they were laying sod.  By 5, the entire project was finished.  And what a thoroughly beautiful job they did!!  The sod was very precisely cut to follow the shape of my garden areas.  It looked fantastic.  I was given detailed watering instructions, a guarantee, an optional offer to sign up for OB's lawn chemical service and only then was any money requested.  One of my neighbors is a very successful real estate agent.  She stopped by to ask who did the work so that she could refer her customers to someone who does such great work.  I couldn't be more pleased.

new sod myselfrly done.  Pieces of lawn fHe was supposed to arrive at 1 PM and the crew arrived at 2 but the sod did not arrive until 4:30 PM.  They were supposed to install Bahia grass but dropped off St Augustine instead.  The crew did not notice the error and later the boss tried to collect for the more expensive grass.  It was only when I insisted that I did not contract for St. Augustine, that they said I could keep the same grass for the originally quoted proce, even though I specifically wanted the lower maintenance type of grass.  They said they would pull up all the new grass and set up another appointment to install the Bahia if I would prefer.  Since I already had my evil homeowners association breathing down my neck and threatening me yet again, I decided I had better keep the installation as is.  They said that they also offered a guarantee.  For a fee of $49 per month they will treat and fertilize the lawn and replace it as necessary.  Since this sounded like a good deal I enrilled and started paying an additional $49 per month for maintenance.  The installation was poorly done.  Pieces of lawn floated down the street during a heavy rain a week later.  The edges were never fit down into the sidewalk.  The sprinkler heads were not uncovered in at least six spots.  The new lawn was "floating " on top of the existing soil and moving around in multiple spots.  I continued to pay for maintenance, hoping the problems would resolve themselves with the rain and constant sprinkling.  It is now October and I have yet another nasty note from the evil homeowners association that my lawn is distressed.  I called O B Sod to get the promised replacement.  They said they would be happy to send an estimator to give me another estimate for installation, or I could install the new sod myself.  I explained that I was a 64 year old disabled widow and would be unable to install grass.  O B Sod says ,y guarantee is only for sod, not installation.  They would willingly deliver the needed sod to replace dead areas, but I am on my own to install it.  Their guarantee says never worry about your lawn again.  If is dies we will replace it for free.  I think their service is poor and the guarantee is a lie.

It was a rainy day.  Sod was delivered as scheduled, but the installers didn't show.  They said they'd let me know if they weren't coming, but I had to call late in the afternoon to find out they weren't coming.  A little irritating since I took the time off work.  I also think they should have rolled the sod after it was laid, but they did tell me beforehand that they didn't do that.  It was a bit sloppy, but the sod is beautiful and thriving, so I give them an A.  Communication could have been better, but the cost and result are perfect.
