what a fantastic small business experience! I drove from Alamo Heights area because I needed 10 pieces of sod… They loaded me up in less than five minutes took my credit card right from the forklift… Amazing efficient experience. I would drive from anywhere in San Antonio to use these guys! More small businesses need to work like this.

Absolutely top-rated. The whole buying and delivery experience exceeded expectations. Howard and team even delivered early because they knew rain was forecasted. And that is especially great considering they went out of their way to Kerrville to deliver early!

Their team is professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled, ensuring that each client's vision for their outdoor space becomes a reality. Their work not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your property but also adds significant value.

This spring i decided to try sodding my front yard which has only had mostly weeds for 30 years. I called the Grass Co. and talked to Howard. This was the second week in April and I know it was a busy time of year for him yet he took the time to explain to me why I should try Zoysia sod for my lawn which had a unique mixture of shade and direct sunlight. The order and delivery process went without any problems and the driver even placed the pallets in three separate areas of the yard exactly where I asked to be placed on a screenshot of my yard since I could not be there when the pallets were delivered. He was right about the Zoysia and I have recieved many compliments on its appearance. I have since called and asked him about lawn maintenance and he loves talking about that stuff. I highly recommend The Grass Co.

Bottom-Line: Like many others have stated, if you value communication or your patience this is not the company for you. I do not recommend this company if you need to place a delivery order. I purchased sod at their business location several times with no issues - great customer service by the way from on-site employees. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the person (who I believe is the owner) that is answering phone inquiries and that is supposed to be taking delivery orders. They responded fairly quickly via text message with short responses, but never called me so that I can place my delivery order. I got the "I'll call you" response via text message after every repeated follow up by me. Wow, I never thought it would be so difficult to spend money - still unsuccessful.

Got some palisades zoysia from here. Out of 437 pieces only 17 ended up being bad (WAY less than the typical 10% for these sorts of things). Seemed like the sod had been properly watered before being delivered so it didn’t dry out before showing up at my house (dry areas shown are because of how long it took me to install in 100 degree weather). Response time was very quick, even to questions I had after delivery. Some pieces had a little less dirt attached than others, but overall very satisfied. MUCH MUCH MUCH more affordable than anywhere else I called, which is why I chose this place (saved about $800 compared to the first company I got a quote from)

Ordered topsoil and 7 pallets of St Augustine grass. Prompt delivery over two weekends at my request. The products were great. Soil was well composted and clean, easy to spread. The grass was beautiful. Thick base and full, dormant but appeared healthy full. A few pieces at the bottom and middle were beat up a bit but I used them as filler for odd cuts. I felt prices and service were great. Owner gave me lots of advice and tips for prep work and care as I was laying ot out myself. He didn't try to oversell me and was great to work with. Will definitely come back.

I received terrible service from the Grass Company. I do not recommend at all. I sent someone to purchase quite a few pieces of sod to continue sodding my yard after the location that I originally purchased the sod from ran out. I requested the same variety of Bermuda however I received a type of Bermuda that was totally different. The owner suggested another type that he had sitting on his lot and confirmed that it was greener and would make a better match. He sent a picture and in fact at least from the distance seemed like a better match. We were allowed to exchange. What I received was garbage, in very bad shape. Half bare and discolored, some were broken pieces. Many have a very thin layer of soil underneath. Although a different color/variety, I would have been much better off with the original batch and would have used it elsewhere. Although I sent several pictures, the owner will not take responsibility. Never again. Because I didn t pick up the sod personally, I believe I was taken advantage of. Never again!

When I telephoned them to know about grass prices, the immediate response was a recording for me to leave a message. Then I received in text the answers I was looking for. Great!, I thought, I am going right now and make a purchase. I arrived to this address and no one was there. More phone calls produced the same outcome as before and the same text answer. Driving back home I found some guys selling grass at Culebra and Calaveras. They solved my needs paying the same price The (ghost) Grass Co. offered.

I called probably 7 different companies to inquire about grass. The Grass Company/Howard were by far the best priced and most professional. Howard was with a customer when I called, so I sent a text. Immediately got back an auto reply with details of cost per pallet, varieties of grasses offered, how much a pallet covered by the square foot, cost for delivery, instructions for watering grass and caring for it after installed, a homemade weed killer using safe items you already have at home, and Howards business address and license number. We coordinated everything via text, he dropped off and gave a few tips. Ive referred his business to several people already. Definitely a great company to use and refer others to use. He was aiming to deliver around the lunch hour, but because of other deliveries and the grass farm guys going on lunch, he arrived by 3pm. He communicated with me a few times to let me know his projected drop off time, which was great. Grass was quality and my yard looks amazing. I installed myself to save money, and Im very pleased with the sod I received.

I could not be more pleased. They stayed til after dark doing the install. The guys even swept up the street where the truck was and some dirt had fallen. They went above and beyond on the install. They made sure the sprinklers were all clear also.. i will gladly recommend them to everyone I know..

I would give this company no stars if that was an option. IF he communicates with you, its only one word responses or very short. Our 3 pallets of grass that we wanted was set to be delivered be delivered on a Saturday lunchtime. They were very late. No one called us to say driver having problems with brakes. Then we agreed on the next Friday between 9-10...no grass. I finally get text message saying they harvested wrong grass and delivery would be Saturday. Still no grass! Now its too wet outside....thats fine...but TELL US!!! NO COMMUNICATION UNLESS I PUSHED FOR AN ANSWER! So many of our days wasted. We work full time. We cannot afford wasted days! Do not call this company if you value your time.

If there was a negative rating, I would give it. Where do I start? The grass was not delivered on time, lost the whole weekend. Never answered the phone to say what the problem was or bother to call. When I finally got a hold of them, they came up with a bunch of excuses. He said he could drop of fresh grass on Monday, not the one sitting on the pallet all weekend. When they dropped it off(late again) the grass had obviously been sitting on pallet for a while and he could not even spot the grass as promised. Horrible service and terrible grass, I would avoid this place at all costs.

January 23, 2019

Ordered grass 10 days in advance for Monday morning. We did have storms over the weekend, I did not know this would affect grass delivery. As I waited to the end of the delivery window I inquired to Howard about it with a response of my customers know the delays when we have rain like this. Well he didnt teach me that til now , Im a new customer, and would have been a regular one, not many pallets, just many orders. Then he advised me it will be Wednesday afternoon. Im a understanding customer, no prob. With no answer to my vms Wed and Thurs. He responded to a text Thurs evening say delivery will be Fri. Another inquiry at 430 Fridag informs me his truck drivers wife went into labor and has his truck and no delivery available til Monday............Well CONGRATULATIONS delivery guy, can someone give Howard a ride or Uber to the hospital to deliver grass thats a week late?

Don t hire The Grass Company if you value communication or your patience. While I will admit Howard was pleasant to talk to initially, more often than not I was greeted to unanswered calls, a full voicemail box, or excuse after excuse. Most of my frustration could have been avoided had I just walked away from the deal at the first sign of this horrible communication. I initially asked a question through the website Thumbtack; after a few days went by with it unanswered I decided to call Howard. I had a great conversation and I needed time to think about some of the stuff he mentioned on the call. Later I hired him via Thumbtack and asked another question on the website (2 notifications would have been sent to him). After several days of not hearing back I decided to email him directly with my questions and the fact that I wanted to hire him. Another several days went by and I eventually called him only to be greeted by a message saying his voicemail box was full. By this point I should have been smart and realized I was in for a headache if it was so hard to give someone money to do a job. But he did return my call later that day and we set a date to have the grass installed. Instead of him keeping me up to date on what was going on, I had to constantly text him to ask. My install was pushed back a day due to no fault of his (weather) but once again I had to ask what the new timeline was. Eventually I was greeted with great news that they were 20-30 minutes out from my house. After 2+ hours went by without them showing up or hearing anything, I decided to let him know I was cancelling the job due to lack of communication. I got a half ass apology and more excuses. Howard could have salvaged things even at that point but with his lack of empathy and no sense of urgency, he lost my business

He was awesome and very helpful and informative. Plus his prices were much less expensive than Milbergers and more affordable. He delivered on time and the grass looked great. Howard gave me good advice on how to lay the grass etc. Overall Im very satisfied with this place and recommend it. We used Zozia JaMur by the way, and its a very nice looking grass.

I used this company to buy 2 pallets of St. Augustine sod. The grass was in excellent shape and it was less expensive than most others I called. I paid $140 per pallet with delivery included! Howard was very nice and he said it is his familys business. I like to work with small local companies like this. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars was because he was supposed to deliver the sod on Friday afternoon but a rain storm came and he had to deliver it the next day. I understand delays due to weather are uncontrollable but he didnt call until the next morning to let me know. I tried to call him twice Friday evening to ask what was going on but got no answer and his voice mail box was full.
