AUSTIN FARMS SODDING INC

I don't recommend these guys ,they don't stand behind their work ,dead tree and plants.

We went with Austin Farms to do our landscaping because they are the company our builder used to sod our yard. Jody, the owner, told me he could do our landscaping faster than anyone else because they wanted to get the sod done soon. He said we were "at the top of the list" to have our sod installed. He was very prompt in sending us a design, talking to us about tweaking it and working within our budget. But once we agreed to go with them, he didn't move very quickly. I finally had to get the builder and realtor involved. Jody then came out himself with his crew to do the landscaping on a Saturday. They did a nice job with the landscaping, and we are pleased with the design and plants. I asked about the status of the sod. He said he had a crew scheduled to come out that day, but because of the threat of rain, he had sent them home. He then asked, “Did you agree to upgrade to fescue?” I thought that was an odd question—what was the crew he had scheduled going to install?—but I didn’t think too much about it, and told him yes, we were upgrading to fescue ($600+). His crew came out a few days later and installed the sod. I asked the crew chief, “Is that fescue?”, and he said, “Yes. We’re only cutting fescue now, even if that’s not what you ordered.” I said that not only is that what we ordered, but we paid extra for it. When I called Jody back to discuss this with him, he insisted that his crew chief misspoke or I misunderstood. I don’t think it’s fair that I paid to “upgrade” to fescue, since that is all that they had available. Jody just wanted his money. He got it. But he won’t get any more business from us.
