We hired him to lay some new grass. Was supposed to lay down a new dirt-bed before laying the grass. Didn't lay down the dirt and tried to pretend that he did. After a few days of laying the grass we made him tell his people to take up the grass, add some dirt so the grass could have some foundation and then relay the grass. The grass he laid wasn't very good quality. After a few weeks of trying to rehab the grass it started looking better. We also hired him to do some landscaping. Didn't finish the landscaping work. Acted like he understood what was supposed to be a simple job but didn't finish the job. Had to stay on him to get his work to look halfway decent.

The topsoil appears to be sand and the sod is those small patching squares and is uneven, lumpy, broken, gaping. I know sod is dormant right now for winter but this garbage will...read full review
