This is the worst company that I have ever dealt with and should not be on any list let alone Angie's. Take a look at all the other online reviews and it seems to be a common theme, I only wished I had seen them as I would NOT have done business with these individuals.
This is one of the worst experiences I have ever had with a company, and will never,ever use them again.
I had previously completed several sod orders with Grass4Sale for my back yard (23 total pallets) and for the most part the orders were satisfactory with minor issues. The initial orders were delivered in a somewhat timely manner, mostly late in the evening of the date they were scheduled, and the grass was in fair to good condition. What I should explain here is that Grass4Sale is cheaper than most, so my expectations were not that high, and I believe I received essentially what I paid for.
Having completed the back yard I ordered 10 more pallets of sod for my front yard. As stipulated with the company, to receive an order on a specific date you must pay a $75 service charge, which I did. I had this order coming in on a Friday since I had people coming over to install on Saturday. On the scheduled delivery date I contacted Grass4Sale to see where the order was and they informed me it was on a truck for delivery. It actually showed late the following day with explanation that the delivery truck had mechanical issues. Since the grass had been sitting out for a long time much of it was too dry/dead to be used. While laying the sod I was surprised to find that it did not cover the area needed and I ordered 3 more pallets. After the fact I went back and counted the sod in the first order and found it was shorted by about 300 sf. The second order was also scheduled for specific delivery date and was not delivered until late night (after I was in bed) two days later. This order was reviewed and also found to be short by about 150 sf and had a significant amount of unusable grass. So, in a nutshell, two very late orders in a row with both being short of the square footage ordered.
I have attempted to work thru this with the company and have come to know their true colors. The truth is that once you order from this company and they take your money, they could virtually care less about you afterwards. I found the company at this point to be harsh and seemingly frustrated that I would not just let things alone.
Bottom line is you are 'shooting dice' with this company. Their prices are okay and their products are fair, but if anything goes wrong they will summarily tell you to go away. I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU STEER CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY...I have certainly learned my lesson the hard way.
Buyer beware. They are a broker only with no vested interest in you returning as a customer.
No one showed up on the scheduled delivery day and we ended up sitting home all day waiting. We called several times and left messages with the installer, none of which were acknowledged. The next day the delivery truck and installation crew just showed up with no notice.
A thin Raleigh St. Augustine lawn in a shaded area was being replaced AmeriShade, a shade tolerant variety of St. Augustine. The installation crew removed the existing grass with a weed-wacker which left runners and associated root system which later rotted. No other cultivation of the soil was done, and AmeriShade did refund the extra amount paid for cultivation. However, I remain convinced that the underlying soil would have benefitted from cultivation which is why I purchased it in the first place.
No rolling was done although the description of the service on the website was very specific that this would be done and described the reasons for doing it. The end result was that there are lumps all over and there are uneven gaps between sod pieces. When I questioned the crew chief about this he said rolling wasn?t possible because the sod needed to be soaked for an hour prior to rolling. He did agree to come back later after I had soaked the sod, but after multiple soakings and multiple failures to show up, I ended up renting a roller and doing it myself about a week later.
The pallet was short about 50 square feet of sod. The crew chief said he would have to go to Home Deport to buy some more. I pointed out that this was supposed to be AmeriShade and was not available at the local big box stores. It is the reason I ordered from Grass4Sale in the first place. He said he would have to go to the sod farm then to get it. I have no idea if he did, but it caused me to suspect that what I was receiving was not AmeriShade.
Long story short, the grass died. Later my neighbor installed AmeriShade from another source, and on inspection I noticed his AmeriShade had a completely different texture than the grass I bought. I took a square of his grass and planted it in my yard, and suprisingly, it is thriving. This confirms my suspicion that I didn't get what I paid for. I then emailed Grass4Sale to honor their extended guarantee (which I paid extra for) and this email was again ignored.
I am now faced with replacing the grass in this area again. But I've learned my lesson--don't buy grass over the internet.
Truck arrives and contained what the driver called a "Contractor's Mixture". The dirt was LIGHT BROWN in color and NOT BLACK as shown on the GRASS 4 SALE website. It would not form a firm ball when squeezed in the palm of your hand and had to have been well over 50% sand mixture. There was no BLACK SOIL (only brown) in mixture. I did not accept the dirt.
I called GRASS 4 SALE and again talked to Michael. I told him that the dirt was not black topsoil as shown in the website photograph. Michael said I should not rely on the picture, because it would look different every time a photograph is taken.
I told Michael I wanted to cancel my order. Michael said HE COULD NOT HELP ME but I would have to write an e-mail to the sales department.
Michael said I ONLY had a 48 hour time limit to cancel the order from the time I ordered it. I ordered the dirt on Monday and the delivery date was the following Thursday.
I told him the dirt delivered was not what was advertized. He again told me to e-mail sales and then MICHAEL HUNG UP ON ME when I asked him if I had a 48 hour grace period from the time they attempted to deliver the dirt.
Company called asking to move delivery date up which was not possible due to my work schedule. I was given a three hour window for delivery of grass and was told the installation crew would arrive once the grass was delivered but during the three hour window. When they did not arrive during time give, I made three phone calls to company. First person said he guessed they were running late, left message for salesperson I had spoken with previously who never returned my call, third person was female who said she would check to see where the delivery was. Two hours after the end of the window time, I received a call telling me that they were not going to come today - no reason, no further information was given. After attempting to make another appointment, I was told the time from would be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with no guarantee. The person calling then told me that the original salesperson was the only person who had any answers. I asked to speak with the supervisor of the sales person and was told that he did not know who that was. Because of the difficulties and lack of professionalism with this company, I cancelled the order. After checking the Better Business Bureau, I discovered that the "sales person" is listed as the CEO of this company.
Other than the mix up on delivery, they tilled part of my yard where grass was not to be installed. They covered 2 of my sprinkler heads and installed grass where I could not open the gate to the dog run
Deliver date was only estimated, but I was never given an exact date/time. Delivery came and luckily I was near the house, so could come home to meet them.
Installation was expensive because I had to have some dead sod removed. They really only raked the dead sod (instead of removing it completely) and laid the new sod on top of it, so we have some uneven areas. Told them if they had any leftover sod they could put it in another area, but they really should have used it on the areas of the grass that were not doing well. I wasn't home to supervise, so couldn't catch it when they did it.
