Believe the bad reviews! James Watt is insane. We had the misfortune of using him in June 2024 to remove a large tree from our front yard. I am writing the review now because my husband and I agreed we would wait until we moved because he's so unhinged, and we were scared that he would retaliate if he knew where we lived. We had to call the police just to put this on record in case anything happened to our property because he kept texting me and calling/texting my husband. He even started calling and texting my husband at 12 am. He then went on to tell my husband he doesn't wear any pants in the relationship and shouldn't allow me to make any decisions. Read on... James had one of his workers take down the tree. The deal was to include grinding the stump down. The guy didn't do that, and the issue remained unresolved for quite some time. Finally, the guy came back and grinded the stump (not completely, but we didn't complain). The problem is, he left the grinded portions all over the yard in a giant mound. I spent time bagging it all up myself. Our regular lawn guy came around and charged us $80 to bag the rest. We informed James we would deduct the $80 from the total or he could complete other work to receive the remainder. He didn't like that. Crazy thing is, we have several mutual friends from high school somehow. My friends are quite normal, so I'm not sure who would hang out with someone like him. Check out these insane text messages where he wants to bring me on his boat, insults my character and my husband. These are only the ones he sent me. He also sent my husband insane texts. Oh, and he responds to the negative reviews with such venom. Make sure to check out his Google reviews. They are WILD! read more

Great place to buy firewood, $ 200 plus tax equals a lot of wood. He loaded it within 2 minutes of arriving. It was stacked on a pallet into my bed. Took about an hour to unload at home. Good wood for a good price. read more

Offered healthy grass at a reasonable price. In the second year of growing, my front yard is beginning to look lush.

This is a great business. Quick responses, quality sod, friendly staff, and knowledgable advise and installation. They installed a pallet and a half of zoysia palisades, and several yards of gravel for me and I'd highly recommend them! read more

Great grass and great crew. I ordered 10 pallets of St. Augustine and had it delivered. It arrived on time and in good condition. The crew prepped the ground to get rid of any old grass and brought dirt to get the ground level so that the sod would lay properly. They then rolled the sod to ensure a good bond with the soil/dirt. At the end of the job, they cleaned up after themselves and left no indication that they had been there. A++ read more

We had our yard leveled and slopped to control the rain water, then new sod put down. James and his team thought of it all, made several great design suggestions while we walked the project to estimate it. They covered everything, the drainage, the install, stump grinding and the sprinklers. It was really helpful ..I just wanted to get rid of mud with some grass. They communicated well and did exactly what they said they would, when they said they would do it. A++ we will definitely be using them again and refer them to our family and friends! read more

Grass died in less than 30 days. They have an excuse for everything, except their low-quality grass and installation. "ALL SALES ARE FINAL - NO RETURNS, NO EXCHANGES" read more

I purchased a pallet of grass from this company a couple of years ago and was satisfied with what I received, so they were the first place I contacted when I needed more grass. I went to their website, and then called the number. You get a recording that says not to leave a message because no one will check them, but to leave a text. So I texted him that I needed 2 pallets of grass. I then went out and measured the area and realized that I needed much more than I thought. I soon got a text from him saying he had grass and to call him. I did call him, but told him I now needed 4 pallets of grass. He asked me when I needed it, so I told him within 4-5 days so it could be laid this weekend. He told me he wasn't sure if he could do that because it was raining (I guess where the grass is harvested), but I needed to order and pay for it, and if he could, he'd deliver it. I told him that I wasn't going to pay for grass only to be told that later that he couldn't deliver it when I needed it. He then began to talk down to me asking if I know how the grass business goes, then he said it was obvious I didn't understand the grass business. I told him I didn't need to know about the grass business and thanked him for all his help and disconnected. I thought: What a rude, arrogant guy talking down to a prospective client. But he wasn't through yet. I then received a text calling me a "jackass" and further insulting me. I have attached screen prints of the conversation. I can easily say I would NEVER do business this guy and with fill the yard with concrete if he were the only source for grass. You can read our exchange and make the decision for yourself. Its sad to say that my experience isn't a one off, as I read the other reviews, this is just the way the guy is. What a piece of work. read more

DO NOT BUY from DFW Sod Grass!!! We ordered 3 pallets delivered to us.  On the date of delivery, the sods that we got from the pallets were: - not fresh - cooked - dying - and torn We couldn't get a hold of the owner that day because he was out of town so we were forced to install the bad sods. 3 weeks trying to watering it, 3x a day, the sods still look: - brown - cooked - and dying (see attached photos) What we paid for was not what this company was trying to sell, hence they will try to sell you a bad or leftover grass trying to make some extra money in case you didn't know. DO NOT BUY SOD OR GRASS from this company unless you want your grass to end up like mine.   I don't mind paying for goods and services but I hate companies that cut corners and sell bad products pretending that they could get away with it. read more

Called for quote on having grass installed they said would come by to give estimate. They never showed.

In June 2023, Dallas Sod replaced existing Bermuda Sod with Zoysia Sod (thick) at my house. They did not provide a written estimate. Provided a verbal promise to repair the sprinkler system if damaged by the crew. I trusted them and did not request a written quote. After completion of work, Dallas Sod gave me a bill for premium install which I paid. Per their website, premium install provides a limited warranty which they refused to provide. Moreover, in the front lawn, close to the street, has drip piping. When the crew did the tilling, they damaged it completely. It was repaired by Sandro Becerra (recommended by Dallas Sod) which cost me $645, but Dallas sod declined to pay. I called James Watts. He did not answer but said do not leave messages. His voice mail said that messages will not be answered. Instead send a text message which I did. But neither he called back, nor he replied to my text message. They do not care for after sales service. Dallas Sod does not even answer the following questions: * After installation of the new sod when should the lawn be mowed. * When should the lawn be sprayed for weed control? * Why some of the new sod now has thin blades? * One of the stones installed wobbles. Needs fixing. * Why at some places weed like long horizontal grass is growing? This was common for Bermuda grass. I will encourage other prospective clients to get a written quote, review the terms and conditions before agreeing to any work being promised by Dallas Sod Grass. read more

When you call this number, it tells you to send a text. Please see screenshot for what to expect. We found another local company that was professional and friendly: Check out Sims Grass Co instead! read more

very bad experience, I just called James Watt for a quote, he was so impatient and unpolite, he cursed at me and hang up! Not a good person. read more

Best prices in the area, and really good quality sod. Customer service was great and treated us like family. Even threw in some free salsa in with our purchase. Would definitely recommend checking them out. read more

Company should be ashamed. I requested my wife to get 130sqft of St.Augustine. They told her that was 1/2 a pallet and charged $252 and it wasn't even 130spft to boot. The grass was old, the bottom soil was cracked and falling off and the grass was mangled. All I can say is buyer BEWARE. They will take advantage of those who are not in the know. And be sure to check the product before they load it to make sure it is healthy. They will RIP you off otherwise. read more

When I called to inquire about sod, & install, the man couldn't of been any ruder. I won't be buying from here. read more

Great, straight forward folks ! Extremely helpful, highly recommend for lawn and sod work. read more

Can you give negative stars?! James is the most unprofessional company owner I have ever dealt with. First sent a request online, no response. Followed up with a call to them, and got a voicemail that said, don't leave a voicemail. I sent a text. No response. I followed up with another text, no response. Followed up again, and he finally responded. I sent what was needed. He called me and right away was aggressive. Non stop interrupting! Kept trying to do more than what is needed. He eventually cut me off and disconnected the line. I told him how unprofessional that was, and he right away turned aggressive via text. He then called me back and continued to be vulgar and say negative and very unprofessional comments, even making comments about my family. RUN AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AND JAMES!!!! TOO EXPENSIVE AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!! This guy and his company are not worth your time and money!!! Please please please don't use this guy or company!!! I thought using a local business, to help our local small business owners was a good thing. He's not a patriot, or a family man, and gives patriot companies a bad rep. read more

This is a complete bs company. No voicemail, text only and response time is poor if you even hear back. I have probably too much patience for my own good after this "tag you're it" nonsense, but that just ran out. I have another more reliable company to which I'll give my business. Don't waste your time with this one. Actually happy now it didn't work out. After seeing some of the results others had with dead grass I've just saved a lot of money and frustration. read more

I hired Dallas Sod to sod my backyard in St. Augustine on August 2nd during a huge heatwave. (Most of the grass there had died during long, heavy rains two years ago.) We were well into 100°F+ weather when the crew cheerfully laid the sod (and now it's 108°F+ and our lawn is still so pretty!). Everyone including the crew that laid the sod has been so professional, kind and helpful in every way possible. Even now, weeks later, they help me on the phone if I have a question. The heat definitely has been a hindrance (meaning it will take a bit longer for the sod to take root) but the grass is great! We feel we got a great price for our new lawn because 1) they used a weed eater to get rid of the bits of old grass we had and 2) they tilled our backyard before 3) adding plenty of the best soil then 3) leveling our yard and then 4) the crew also made a trench in the soil for run-off so our backyard won't flood in torrential rains! I highly recommend Dallas Sod. read more

James and his crew are awesome. We got half a truck load from them one night. He had a semi truck loaded down coming into Dallas. Not only did he stay open for us, he helped me load it into the pick up. Talk about customer service. This was all after a rainy miserable day, James his crew were amazing!! Also, great prices on sod! read more

When my husband and I couldn't find St. Augustine sod at the local handyman store, he searched online and found Dallas Sod Grass. I am so grateful he did! Their product is top notch; better quality than I've purchased at other stores. And their customer service is unmatched! Dallas Sod Grass - Like a breath of fresh air. read more

I recently purchased a pallet of sod from Dallas Sod Grass and I was very happy with them. They delivered when they said they would, the quality of the grass was great and their customer service was great. I dealt with one of the owners directly. However, they charged my checking account twice for the sod. Once on April 2nd and once on April 3rd. I am surprised that they would not know this if they reconcile their books daily or weekly. I did not find out until I was faced with a problem at my bank. I contacted the company through their website and thru the owners direct cell phone twice on Sunday. He finally contacted me Sunday night asking me for my information and he would look at it first thing in the morning Monday. Monday came and went. I sent a couple of messages asking about it. When he finally contacted me, he told me that it did not make sense that this happened and told me it was my fault because I had been asked for my credit card number twice and gave it to them. I told him that I needed the refund immediately and asked about the charges I incurred. I was told he had a bad day and he did not want to deal with it at that time and he would not cover any charges. I was told to contact him again Tuesday morning to remind him. I did this and he had someone else in the office call. They would NOT refund my money unless I came to their office and signed something. I told them I could not do that and the man in the office came to my house and had me sign some document to confirm they were refunding. I was told again by the owner (who by the way did not tell me he was an owner - he just kept saying he was a manager and I needed to talk to Margaret who was the owner) they will NOT assist with charges they were responsible for and I could take them to small claims court, he did not care. This man and his customer service was horrible and not honorable. His office said they would cover it but he told them not to. I would tell you that if you want to use them, please make sure you watch the charges because they don't Update.... April 29th I just got off the phone with one of the two owners. He reviewed all the steps with me which were all accurate. He then stated that he would get back to the office and review the information. He asked for my bank statement. I told him he already had the part that reflected the two charges and the NSF items he caused. He told me that it is my responsibility to watch my account every day to make sure this doesn't happen. So I am responsible. I asked him if he had the same rules. Did he look at his account every day? He then should have noticed he charged me twice. He told me they only look at their account when they reconcile it. He offered me $70 to go away. I told him no. He told me that I could take him to court. He would sue me too. I asked him what for and he said he would contact his atty and figure out some reason he could sue me. He told me he was recording our call and it was legal, that in Texas he did not have to disclose this. I don't care because all of the call showed he was in the wrong. I did not tell him this part. But he said he was hanging up and wasn't going to do anything about it because it was my fault. read more

DO NOT USE this person/company! Unbelievably RUDE, ARROGANT and VERY unprofessional. And, this wasn't the first time. Didn't save his number as a "never call again" and not remembering his company name i have mistakenly called him more than once over the last few years when looking for sod for different projects. Well, today was no different. I tried to be as polite as possible yet his seemly disgust for humankind is unbelievable! Not sure how he is still in business. ‍ read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!! I tried getting a quote for a pallet of grass and I called twice to get more information about pricing and payand he had the audacity to tell me that he didn't have time to be answering my questions?!? How rude!! read more

Super nice people! I needed less than a pallet and James saw my Cadillac Escalade and offered to let me use his truck rather than messing up my car for no charge. Sod is high quality, price was fair and service was superior! read more

Please don't deal with this company as the guy answering phone/text messages is rude, an A-hole, a real tool bag, and not very professional... he apologized, asked for forgiveness, and tried to explain his rudeness by saying they were very busy... however... moments later he texted me to clown me by telling me he knows who I voted for and that his amusement in the industry was watching his kid play baseball and dealing with funny toolbags. I don't know about you, but this is not the customer service I would expect from a company that depends on the public for business opportunities and from a company trying to get my business. Again, if you value your time and money, stay away from this company! read more

Really great, for back to me in a timely manner and I picked it up the same day. Would definitely use them again!

Be very careful if you hire this company. We talked to the super rude receptionist several different times to confirm what was included in the quoted price, then confirmed the price with the owner before writing a check for payment. He called the following Monday to let us know we would be charged extra for top soil (we were told repeatedly the whole job was covered in the quoted price). When we called to inquire about the $325 we were charged for top soil (seemed high) the owner cursed and called us names over the phone and threatened to put a lien on our house if we didn't want to pay it. He then sent a follow up text ranting and raving and called us "stupid people". The sod wasn't laid correctly and we now have to spend even more money fixing the job (including replacing sprinkler heads that now won't reach the grass due to poor sod installation, and filling in gaps where the sod pieces don't meet up). Will never work with this company again. read more

These guys very helpful. Grass was a couple days old, of course, because I came on a Monday and was Saturday grass. They made sure to price the grass right for me. Most companies will still charge you the full price. Go support these guys! read more

I bought individual rolls of Bermuda Grass. Alex was awesome and sent me a text when a shipment arrived. Alex has remarkable customer service skills and goes that extra mile to help you. Thanks you Alex for your great service!!!!!! read more

I mean I'm sure this is a great company if they would ever return phone calls or text messages. I've literally been trying to buy sod from this dude for three days now and it says they're open 24/7 365 but when I finally got him on the phone he was distracted and said he would call me back and it's been two days and I haven't got a call back and I can't even get a text message. It appears they have good quality sod but good luck on the customer service side. read more

My project required only 20 pieces of St. Augustine. Friendly information on the phone and at pick up. Good quality sod.

This place is unprofessional and can't give you straightforward information on pricing. I recommend going with another company.

Very pleased with James and Dallas sod. Came out quickly and yard looks great! Also had our sprinkler system worked on to make sure yard was getting watered properly. Very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend read more

The company was extremely quick to respond and accommodate me even though I only needed a small amount of grass. They gave me tips and instruction on how take care of the grass and helped load it into my car. I'd definitely recommend Dallas Sod Grass! Excellent customer service. read more

Greag customer service! Got us taken care of same day and price was great! Highly recommend!!!

Don't walk but RUN AWAY from this company! This company or the owner deserve negative star! I called for estimation and the owner (James) was very rude. He doesn't care for your bussiness, don't even want to answer for an estimation. Please find someone else, us customer deserves a better service! read more

Do not do business with Dallas sod grass I texted the business as requested I was given a price of $2 for a block of St Augustine sod grass when I got to the business I was then told that the price was $5 I protested and questioned the gentleman and let him know that I was given a quote of $2 by text he then pointed out to some very dried-out half-dead pieces of sod that he said we're on the bottom of the pallet that he would let me have for $2 but the price for the regular sod is $5 per block not knowing any better and learning that Saint Augustine sod was hard to get I went ahead and purchased six blocks of the sod for $30 this was on a Saturday on the Monday I texted the business again to inquire if they had more Saint Augustine sod in stock as I needed to purchase more I was told they did and as I wasn't feeling well a little later I texted back and ask the gentleman for the store hours to my surprise he takes the time to call me now and demean and berate me and tells me that he does not have time for all of my questions and that he's used to selling by the pallets and by the truckload and he really doesn't need to do business with me who's just buying some blocks of sod I meekly ask him again if he would tell me the store hours and at that time he blurts out to me forget it he doesn't want to do business with me and he won't sell me The Sod now don't come by in researching other companies I was told that the appropriate and fair price for sod would be between two dollars to $2.50 and as I am a black person I can't help but feel that this whole interaction had racist overtones but even if that is not the case I feel that I was definitely ripped off as I was charged twice as much for the sod and that he did not honor the $2 quote that was given to me by someone at his company read more
