Ben did two separate jobs for us. We were happy with the result initially but we had some issues months later and he promised to return but never did (after 4 reminders) . 1 yr warranty worthless read more

Advance Drainage & Turf Solutions - This was Ben's idea of what drainage should do :( DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! A waste of good money. - Landscaping Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Didn't really communicate during the project (there were some things we said "hey let us know when you get to this part so we can confirm" and he never did) and the results are not really good, honestly. I've been trying to reach him to fix some issues, but I'm pretty sure he blocked me. He initially responded to my first text then I never heard from him again, and my calls go straight to VM. I honestly don't recommend, which sucks because a lot of people I know want/wanted turf. read more

Worst job ever, in 2 months with the wind is getting so loose and no response as to when or if they are going to fix it.Quality is awful. Spoke to several other turf agents, they said the same not tight enough and hardly any nails. Something needs to be done about them. read more

My experience with this vendor was alright until the final product was received. My 1st walk in our brand new yard for $11,000 and we realize that there was no compaction done for the irrigation lines installed and as such they are all sinking causing serious tripping hazards (pictures attached). After reaching out to Ben to resolve, he is asking for more money to fix, since they claim the existing debris in the yard prevented them from installing the pipes correctly. They were given full access to the yard prior to and no language was included in the quote/ contract to this effect. At best, this shows very poor communication and workmanship, and at worst, this shows a deliberate effort to cut corners and upcharge for fixing the issues. Will be seeking remedies legally and would not recommend anyone use their services. read more

Advance Drainage & Turf Solutions - a person's foot in the grass - Landscaping Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

While I got an immediate response to my initial call, I did not get the estimate when promised. When I called to find out if someone had been by, I was told they didn't get to it. I expressed my disappointment and my concern that I wanted a reliable company to install my sprinkler system. I was told I would get the estimate the next morning. I did not. There was no further contact. Guess they don't have time for new business. read more

Quick to provide quote, quick turnaround on service scheduled date, went above and beyond when things needed fixed that weren't related to the originally quoted project. Communicative and friendly. Job well done! Would definitely recommend! read more

We paid $840 for a French drain that never worked correctly. After many months of promises, stalling and now Outright refusal to make it right as he previously state he would, we are done. He was so rude, unprofessional and disrespectful. To say that you're working in another state is not a valid excuse. We literally paid money to go down the drain. And now he has the gall to ask for thousands more dollars to fix the problem. read more

I contacted Sunshine Sod to get a quote on re-doing my gravel driveway. Mine was a total mess with weeds growing every which way so I wanted to completely start over. I found Sunshine sod through google/yelp and decided to give them a call. A guy named Ben answered (turned out to be the owner), and was helpful from the start. He told me he would come by the next morning to assess the current state of my driveway and then could quote me. He came on time as promised, was very knowledgeable, straightforward, and gave me a quote which was right in line with what I researched the project costing. I decided to give him a shot and I'm really glad I did. He and his crew came the next day and did an awesome job. It was exactly what I was looking for and they did it all in one day. I would highly recommend Ben and his team! read more

After agreeing to a price, scope and schedule from Benny.. this company was a no show for install. It's now been weeks since and Benny has yet to answer a call or response to any text. dont waste your time with this company, find someone reliable!! read more

I am so pleased with Ben! He is truly a gentleman & very honest. I am a careful consumer & usually get many estimates before I hire any company. This time I just had one estimate from Ben & hired him on the spot. He was quick to come out & do the job in the most efficient way. So glad I hired you! TY Ben for fixing a big problem for us & working with my budget. He fixed a drainage problem around my pool deck with a french drain and laid sod for me. The drainage problem is now fixed for good. You simply need to call Ben for an estimate. I bet you would hire him too. read more

I hate having to write a bad review, especially for this company, because initially I really liked them. I spent over $7,400 for new sod and landscape rocks, making the mistake of paying for the job before it was completed. Despite numerous promises that they were returning to finish, it never happened. It's now been 5 months. At this point, in addition to the fact that two areas of rock and several areas of bad sod were never finished/replaced, a large volume of noxious weeds are growing right thru the protective weed barrier throughout the rock beds, requiring weekly expensive treatments of Roundup. They asked that I hire a monthly lawn spraying company, which I did, and despite monthly treatments and a lot of watering, much of the sod is looking bad. Very disappointed overall, now feeling like I wasted a lot of money. read more

RUN as fast as you can! Ben seemed nice but it has been issues from the beginning. I was looking for turf for a dog run but was concerned about odor. Ben promised that he would use this top of the line deodorizer and smell would NEVER be an issue. He said that all I would need to do is water the turf once a month or so. Well, not only did Bens team steal tools from my yard after I caught them and clarified the tools were mine, he did not apply the deodorizer as promised. He dropped of one bag for me to install myself, but it only cover 20 sq ft and the space installed was 265 sq ft. I kindly asked Ben to drop off enough deodorizer and he declined indicating that it is my responsibility to find the deodorizer and install. Even AFTER he confirmed in text that he would drop off the remaining bags. He also said he offered a 1 year guarantee on the work. So I requested to have the turf removed since the work that was promised was to not have an odor, which in fact its a foul odor. He is now NOT STANDING BY HIS WORK. I am now out of pocket, $1350 due to Bens lack of ethical character. read more
