Came first thing in the morning, which was great because I have never laid sod before and if it had come in the afternoon I would have been working into the night. I laughed a bit at the 6 hour time limit to get it off the pallet but I needed it even with my lawn fully prepped and someone helping me. I ordered extra based on others comments but I went overboard so I just quickly prepped some other patchy areas and laid it there. It's all taking pretty well from what I can tell (day 7 now). The only problems I have had are with raccoons peeling back two pieces looking for snackos. I suggest looking

Sod was delivered early in the day so we could get started putting it down. Sod was left right where we wanted it with no problems! Very happy with our service. I would 100% use this company again

Fast service. Ordered approx. 31 rolls. Was delivered earily afternoon with sod being very dried out. Did not come on skid, so rolls were placed right on driveway. The picture below is the delivery guy unloading it from the skids, so you can see exactly how they came that day. Note, this day was extremely hot, so not surprised it was a bit dry. Two rolls were broken, but the delivery guy gave me a few extra rolls which was nice of him. I ordered again a month later, for ten rolls, and it arrived early in morning and was moist. All grass is doing well now. Grass did not have an weeds, so grass is

Several issues here. I was given 53 rolls of sod that were dead, the company's excuse was that I should've watered the sod within 15 minutes of laying it, which is completly wrong, then the company said they would only replace half of them at there own cost and I would have to pay for the other half. Also the sod was infested with ticks, which I had to pay a pest control company to kill them, the company would not own up to this either. Horrible products and customer service here, order your sod from anywhere else.

I had two sod projects at our property. We ordered sod from Greenhorizons and had the sod delivered. Both times the sod came as scheduled with the driver offering advice on laying the sod as this was our first fime doing so in large sections.
Followup emails from the company offered pointed tips on watering schedules and a one year sod guarantee. The bags of free sod starter fertilizer was appreciated as well. All in all a great experience and no disappointments. These folks have their business running like a well oiled machine.
