Mixed Results with Rambo's Sod Delivery and Installation
My experience with Rambo's Sod for sod delivery and installation was a bit of a roller coaster. On the one hand, the convenience of having fresh sod delivered right to my doorstep was fantastic. On the other hand, there were some aspects of the service that left me less than satisfied.
The Positives:
Delivery: The delivery was, for the most part, on time and as scheduled. The truck driver was professional and careful maneuvering the pallet of sod onto my property. I appreciated the communication beforehand, confirming the delivery window and answering my questions about preparation.
Fresh Sod: The sod itself appeared to be healthy and recently harvested. The grass was a vibrant green, and the root systems seemed well-established. I was definitely pleased with the quality of the product.
Initial Installation: If you opted for their installation service, the initial laying of the sod was quick and efficient. The crew worked diligently and seemed knowledgeable in the basic steps of sod installation. They made quick work of covering my bare patch.
The Negatives:
Communication Issues: While delivery communication was good, scheduling the installation was a bit of a headache. It took several calls and emails to finally nail down a date, which felt unnecessarily complex.
Installation Quality: While quick, the quality of the installation was a bit uneven in places. Some areas had gaps between the sod pieces, and there were a few spots that weren't properly leveled, leading to minor bumps. It seems like a bit more attention to detail could have been given.
Lack of Follow-Up: After the installation, I didn't receive any follow-up emails or calls to check on the progress of the sod. I would have appreciated some guidance on aftercare or to see if there were any issues.
Overall:
Rambo's Sod offers a convenient service for sod delivery and, if you choose, installation. The quality of the sod itself is high, and the
delivery process was relatively smooth. However, the communication glitches, inconsistent installation quality, lack of follow-up, and higher
pricing need to be factored in before making a decision.
Would I Recommend?
If you are comfortable with laying the sod yourself, the delivery service is a solid option. However, if you opt for their installation service, be prepared to potentially oversee the process and follow up with any concerns. I would encourage you to get multiple quotes and carefully research other options before making a final decision.
Recommendations for the Company:
Improve Communication: Streamline the scheduling process and provide clear and timely updates to customers.
Enhance Installation Quality: Provide better training to their installation crews to ensure a more even and meticulous finish.
Offer Follow-Up: Reach out to customers after the installation to ensure satisfaction and provide guidance on post-installation care. read more
