    Original delivery
    Sara P.

    TL;DR: Don't hire The Sod Lot. Company reps tell me my situation is an outlier. Read my review and decide for yourself. Can charge a credit card lightning fast: We're new to the area (military transplants). I had a rep come by our house to measure, and leave a quote. I called them July 2022 to book an install. Within minutes of hanging up, my credit card was charged, receipt in my inbox. This level of efficiency would never be seen again. Can't communicate: On Thursday, we had 11 pallets of sod delivered, blocking our garage door. I was told installation would only take a day. On Friday, I called at 08:50am (spoke with Renee, always very nice) and asked about arrival time. Told it's normal to start around 10. Called again at 11:20am, Renee says they're behind, but will arrive at lunch. At 12:53pm I got a call from a man who said a dumpster couldn't be delivered, so they'd need to try again tomorrow. I asked about the sod sitting in the heat; company states you need to install the sod within 24 hours of delivery, but this guy swears you have up to three days. Same day 1:45pm there are two men in my yard tearing up grass. About 4:30pm, I was working and I lost connection. I went outside, confirmed they hit the line, maybe ten minutes later they had left without an explanation and sod still sitting in the driveway not installed like promised. Can't explain why their subcontractor steals: That afternoon, I checked on the guys periodically. I noticed some sod in the back of their truck that wasn't there earlier. When I checked on the internet line, I saw an obvious missing pile of sod from the pallet closest to the street (see photos). The next morning, I confronted the same guy driving the truck, asking why he took our sod? He awkwardly replied he was told to take 20 pieces by "Dustin," and return 20 pieces "later." Despite talking to Dustin, Renee, and Steven, no one stated that was ever directed or explained what happened. Can't manage customer service issues: I got to spend the afternoon and evening trapped in the house (pallets blocking garage), with no ability to work my job or turn in school assignments. The next morning (Saturday) a crew showed up around 7:30am. I spoke with Renee again, requesting to speak with a manager and with some persuasion was directed to the Regional Manager, Dustin. Told him about everything, and even though he personally had nothing to do with it, this was the first person to offer a sincere apology for the way I was treated. After he confirmed he spoke with the installer, he promised the job would be completed that day (it wasn't), and I would be "compensated" for all the issues that had transpired so far. Spoiler, that doesn't happen. Can't measure: They left that day after installing 11 pallets of sod, and I still had 1K sqft of our front yard that was bare (see photo). It was clear whoever came to the house, measured, and gave us a quote measured incorrectly. Can't right a wrong: Steven (manager), showed up Monday to measure the bare spot and confirm the pallet count (3). He apologized for the chaos, and stated sod would be delivered and installed Wednesday (all at no cost to me). Tuesday, Steven called back, they couldn't do the job tomorrow, but could do it next Monday. On Monday 3 pallets of sod were delivered, but not installed. Can't follow their own directions: At 3:30pm Tuesday they finally showed up to finish the job. The best part was watching them roll heavy wheelbarrows over the grass that was just installed a week ago to get it to the bare spots instead of going around (see photo). After the job was done, I asked about the compensation mentioned previously. What I was told was our "compensation" was the sod and installation at no cost (their own mistake). I brought up all the other wrongs done, and they didn't care. If the only wrong done was not measuring correctly, and they fixed it by bringing more sod and installing it at no cost, we'd be fine. But that's not the case. Because they've witnessed our struggle over multiple weeks, our neighbors haven't asked for The Sod Lot's info to get work done, they've (unprompted) asked for their name to ensure they never use them. I truly hope this doesn't happen to you, too.

    Excellent quality!

(even Datil peppers which is hard to find!) They have all the supplies including pots and soil. The biggest praise I can give this business is their customer service.

Going into a garden store can be intimidating when you don't know where to start, but the staff made everything very easy and even helped me load up my car with all of my goodies.

My wife came by this store a couple weeks back and bought some pots for our cute new family members, but she forgot the saucers for them. I came in today with the intent of buying the saucers and maybe getting a new plant. This place looks great. They have tons of good looking plants, herbs, and shrubs. But with all the feel good green vibes and pretty scenery it was strange how the customer service was so eh. Now, no one was a straight up jerk, but there was something missing. I thought maybe it was just me so I asked my wife after I got home and she had the same experience. She didn't say anything to me about it before. Anyhow, they have an assortment of plants, pots, saucers and supplies. Prices are not cheap compared to other locations I've visited around town. There are people there to ask questions to and check you out, but I found staff at competitors a bit more willing to talk and answer in sentences rather than one word replies.

    About 3 years ago, I bought four beautiful trees from Southern Tree Farm and had them planted by…read morethe company. Two trees were in small containers and they have done wonderfully well after planting! However, the two larger trees have struggled for three years and one of the trees is slowly falling to pieces. The one that is clearly going to die had a cut main root when it was planted. I was told by the staff that it would live if it survived the year. It survived but is not going to be here by next year. The other large tree is struggling but might make it. I've recently read that when planting trees from containers you must unroll the root ball. I know this wasn't done and I suspect it is the main problem. The dying tree can easily be rocked back and forth and could probably be pushed over. The roots have not spread out. I've used other Shaw service with good results but I don't think I will in the future.
