Very happy overall. We used them to purchase and install the sod. I thought the process was pretty seemless. Happy with the price of both the sod and the install service. A couple of things to know that you need to have sorted beforehand, as they provide grass and will then put it down on your yard (if you purchase the installation): 1) you need to have your irrigation marked -- they likely will do that for you but you should have that set 2) if you need any grading of your yard, you'll likely need to either discuss that ahead of time or get someone else to do it -- they scraped the yard clean very quickly, but their pricing doesn't factor in changes to the slope, etc. Crew worked hard and were very polite -- good guys. read more

TGO Installations (the part of The Grass Outlet that installs the grass for you) was great... I asked them to quote moving some landscaping rock out of the way so the new sod could replace it, and Mike was happy to add that to the quote at what I considered a fair price. The installers were awesome. Dejon (I hope I am spelling your name right) was very customer-service oriented and seems to enjoy his job. Both the men that worked on the lawn did so quickly and to our exact requests... We had 4 pallets installed in about 1/2 day's time. This included the above noted rocks being moved, tearing up the old dead grass, laying new soil and then the sod on top. No problems at all. Would use them again if I wasn't moving out of state soon! read more

Very very pleased, excellent growth in one month time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Grass Outlet for all of your sod needs. read more

Thank god for the grass Outlet! After a major backyard remodel including pool where the grass is the focus they made sure it was perfect! Delivered quality grass on time with great instructions how how to keep it looking beautiful. All of my concerns were addressed in a timely manner and I could not be more happy with the end results. Friendly people who get the job done! read more

This was the best experience I've ever had ordering sod, hands down. Half of our back yard was damaged due to take-all root rot and we needed two pallets after tilling up the damage. Ordering on the website was straightforward like you'd expect from online ordering. The grass was delivered exactly in the window promised. The best part of all: Every single piece of sod was pretty much perfect - I don't think I've ever had two pallets where every piece was usable. I had only one - ONE! - piece of sod that was bad, which is amazing. In comparison, the last time we had sod delivered from another place, about 20% was in poor shape. read more

Grass is of poor quality if purchased in the hotter months. Do not believe what they say regardless of their reassurance. I received my pallet of Bermuda last summer and the soil was like dried crumbs. The grass which they claim is resilient grew into mostly weeds and bare spots no matter how much weeding seeding and watering you do. I have videos but yelp does not support videos. I don't know about their product in The cooler months but they have no business selling what they know to be garbage grass in August. read more

Owner reached out to me via email. I explained that my delivery was delayed (on their side) from August to October due to last year's rains. 7 months after install, I was waiting for it to green up again... fertilized and watered as directed, it never did. I gave the owner a chance to make things right, long story-short, he didn't. Won't be working with them to replace my lawn, although if the follow-up were better, I may have. read more

Unfortunately, this company is extremely hard to do business with. Would strongly recommend using competition. Mike the manager there, and Angela the person who answers emails are extremely rude. Their service is about as bad as it gets. Would give 0 stars if I could. read more

It was my first time using the grass outlet, I ordered two pallets of Palmetto St.Augustine online last Wednesday. I had it delivered by 11am on Saturday. This was well within the promised window.I began laying the grass and about half way through the first pallet I had 17-20 squares that had clover weed in them. I was able to pull some of it out, but I had several that the entire square was clover, so I couldn't use them. Luckily I was able to get away with what I did have and those squares ended up being extra. It was just disappointing to pay for a full pallet of Palmetto and it have 20 or so unusable clover ridden squares. Other than that the ordering process was simple, and the delivery was on time as expected. The price is reasonable for the type of grass, and the remainder of the grass seemed fairly healthy. read more

Mike and his staff at the Grass Outlet were great to deal with. I previously bought sod from King Ranch and it was browned out and FILLED with nutsedge weeds (Had I known how bad the weed issue was going to be, I would have just burned their sod instead of installing it... seriously). I contacted Grass Outlet to get 14 pallets of Zoysia mini-rolls. Mini rolls aren't something they cut themselves so they sourced another supplier for me and acted as the middle man. When the pallets of sod arrived from the other supplier, they were regular squares and not mini rolls and the Zoysia that arrived was in bad condition. I went ahead with my sodding because the ground was already prepped and I had my crew ready to go. Needless to say I was not happy. The reason I give Grass Outlet 5 stars is because they made the situation right. They comped 2 pallets of their own zoysia (which by the way was much much thicker and greener than the other outfit) and also refunded some money. The best "test" for a business is how they handle a situation when things go wrong, and in this situation, I was completely satisfied with Mike's response. I would not hesitate to recommend The Grass Outlet. read more

The Grass Outlet is awesome. I highly recommend this company! I had no idea where to start. The staff there guided me in every way. They helped me pick the best grass for my yard and even sent me very detailed instructions on how to keep it alive. My delivery was on time and the delivery guy was very helpful. If you need grass you should use them! My yard is amazing. read more

Very painless. You order/pay for the grass, they deliver it, you install it and water it. Every single piece either took root or was easily grown over by the piece next to it. Even in this drought the grass is growing very fast and healthy. I am very happy with my purchase and I will be using them again in the future. read more

I was very impressed with both the quality of their sod and their customer service. I give them a great recommendation.

This review is for those thinking about ordering grass for a do-it-yourself project. We dug up our front walkway and needed some replacement St. Augustine. I looked at several companies online, and the Grass Outlet's website was definitely most user friendly and informative -- on top of that, they had the best prices! If I didn't already have a healthy lawn of mostly St. Augustine, I would have had other more drought-tolerant Zoysia and Bermuda varieties that were reasonably priced. The minimum order was one pallet, and thanks to their handy sod calculator I knew I only needed .28 of a pallet. I couldn't find anyone else online who would also deliver less than a pallet, so we just placed the order for Raleigh St. Augustine. I got an email confirmation of sale immediately; delivery guy called at 8:30 am on the scheduled delivery date to say he was outside with my order. The last time I installed sod I ordered a pallet from a big box. What was delivered was yellow and kind of slimy, but it eventually greened up with daily watering for about a week. What arrived from Grass Outlet was obviously freshly cut because it was not dried out and it was GREEN. It happened to be raining when we installed the sod and rained later that night, but barely 6 days later the lines between old and new turf are filling in and we're feeling pretty good about ourselves for making our lawn look 1000% better. read more

Great price and amazing people! We needed quarter pallet to fix our lawn and everyone we talked to was really nice both over the phone and in person! They also helped us with loading the sod in our car. Although we were just a small customer, they still were great and treated us very well. We will definitely return! read more

Positives: Good Price Knowledgeable Quick Installation Negatives: Infested with weeds Unsatisfactory customer service response TLDR: If you have problems call within a week of installation. Take copious notes and evidence of how you prepared the yard for installation. If they aren't responsible for the dirt, grass, installation, and you don't have an irrigation system then they most likely will not resolve any quality issues. WEEDS. The Story: We just bought a new home where the builder provided a sodded Zoysia Grass front lawn. Thinking that we would get better quality at a better price elsewhere, I began to shop around. I looked on Yelp and the reviews for The Grass Outlet were positive. I called them and a few other places and by far got the best initial response and information from The Grass Outlet. Feeling very good about this company I went ahead and schedule for sod to be delivered and installed in the backyard. The delivered grass was not in great shape, but also didn't look like it was at the edge of death either. All-in-all I would give the initial quality of grass a 3/5. The installation was very quick and the install crew was very pleasant. They worked hard and got the grass installed fairly rapidly. My only gripe was that they actually asked me to give them a positive review on Yelp. However, I had been happy enough to this point and was planning on it anyway. 4/5 on delivery and install time. The grass was installed on 07/01/2013. Two weeks later, after watering as well as possible under city water restrictions (plus a little more), we noticed that there were a significant amount, and variety, of weeds in the grass. This is where I made my mistake. Instead of contacting them immediately and complaining I decided to try and fix it on my own. Confession: We were in the middle of moving and probably should have noticed the infested grass sooner. There was just so many other things to do. I purchased about $100 worth of weed-killer which all instructed that it could take up to three treatments to see results. After three weeks of treatment the problem wasn't going away, the weeds were winning. Note: My front yard from the builder was weed-free and looking gorgeous! I contacted Mike Piwonka via a phone call on 08/15/2013. He told me to send him a picture of the yard along with invoice number and he would send someone out to spray. Good start! That day I got an email back informing me that "any garden store such as Lowe's, Home Depot, or Wal-Mart will have weed applications," and that my yard needs to be "chemically treated asap." He also suggested that they could have done more if they heard something from me sooner. I told him I doubt it was the dirt, as it had been delivered within 2 days of installing their sod. In addition the front yard was having zero problems (the builder's sod). We had an email exchange that ended on 08/25/2013. He basically said that it was my fault for not contacting them sooner. He also blamed the builder's soil, lack of irrigation, basically anything aside from the farm that he bought the grass from. I asked for the installation money back ($250) as my wife and I had to spend about 15-20 hours pulling weeds. It was not granted. If there had been any effort to resolve the issue or satisfy their customer they would have gotten a 4 star review. Caveat emptor! read more

The Grass Outlet is an outstanding place to buy your sod and grass. They have great service and an excellent selection of grasses. The facility is very nice and is a pleasure to visit. Meagan was very helpful and courteous and Danny was very knowledgeable and professional. Thanks again! read more

Don't know you yelp list me in San Francisco, CA. I'm not. I'm in Austin Texas After lot of research and reading review I designed to go with The Grass Outlet base on their review. The order process is good but there was a problems after the order. 1. I order 7 pallets when the truck show up, the driver somehow dropped 1 of the pallet to the middle of the road. I got to get my ass out to help him pulled every SOD and put them back to the pallet. Many SOD were damaged because of the dropped. But I think I still have enough SOD because I order extra. This is the first problem I got. 2. Many bad SOD in the remain 6 pallets and end up I'm missing grass to finished my yard. 3. Called them up later (on Monday) and explained the situation and they promised get back to me after talking to the boss or the owner. Didn't call me back. I call again and this time they said I have to contact the truck driver or the truck company to confirm and will let me know. 4. After a few days, I called them back on Thus and they said they still waiting for the driver, the trucking to contact them before they can do anything about it. They said they hand were tied and can't do anything till the hear back from the driver or the truck company. They are just a middle man and don't have the grass for you. Save your money and your time with someone else who is in the real business and not let the customer hanging. read more

Really slick website but they don't follow up! I had someone come out over 2 months ago, then no estimate was sent for weeks. I called and emailed multiple times, finally got an estimate and it wasn't for the grass or yardage that we discussed. I've since emailed 3 more times and left a message and haven't heard back! What is the deal with companies that just don't want your business? It's like, here I am, trying to them you money, and they make it so hard. read more

These people know grass inside out and every which way. I was blown away by their knowledge and passion about grass.

I love working with Danny at the Grass Outlet. He always jumps on the task at hand and gets me what I need, large or small orders, and gets me in and out. Prices are always fair and reasonable. Thanks Danny....... 5 STARS !!! read more

The online ordering was very easy. They scheduled the delivery, called us early that morning and had the pallets at the end of our driveway before we even knew it. We bought two pallets of Zoysia grass and it was comparable price to anywhere else we looked. One pallet was a little crispy, the other one was better quality. Both pallets were covered in cock-a-burrs which have now started sprouting all over our lawn. We lucked out with a month of rain right after we put down the new grass, so it looks pretty good now. Nice emerald green color. Overall, we're pleased with the grass and the service. Wish there hadn't been cock-a-burrs, but it's a natural product and that happens. Would probably use The Grass Outlet again. read more

***Poor quality sod and rude*** When I arrived, I pointed out to the attendant that there were several torn pieces that would fall apart upon grabbing. He just replied curtly, "that's what it is...." In the end, I had to throw away 11 of 25 pieces of sod I purchased. I will have my credit card company initiate a dispute. While prices are better than HD or Lowes the quality is very poor and I don't have to deal with someone rude. Two stars. "That's what it is!" read more

I want to give props to Mike and the install team at The Grass Outlet. Mike was very responsive, and was able to give me a quote within an hour of calling - but I think that was just lucky timing. Both the grass and installation prices are VERY reasonable. AND after 1 week in 100+ temps, the grass is looking good! The on-site install team was very professional, knowledgeable, polite, fast, and acted like installing sod in 100+ temps in the sun wasn't a big deal! Very hard workers. Thumbs up to this team! read more

This is second time we used them. Easy online ordering and quick delivery. The grass itself has been high quality and has grown nicely.

Mike was responsive, easy to work with and the price for grass and installation was less than a few other bids I received. Yard looks great! Highly recommend Mike! read more

These guys were fantastic! From the beginning, I could tell they were trustworthy. Rather than upselling me to buy more and spend more, they encouraged me to repair my grass in the back rather than a full install. Saved me a lot of money. Today, the crew showed up for the installation of the front and to repair the back. Excellent crew. Really knew what they were doing. Did a great job on the install. Extensive quality checks along the way and at the end. Turned on the sprinklers to make sure everything was working properly. Start to finish a great experience. I would give six stars if possible. read more

Probably fine for commercial jobs but dont care about the "little guy" I had some construction done in my backyard and needed only 3 pallets worth of grass to replace the damaged areas. Going off of my contractors suggestion I used the grass outlet. I ordered on a Monday(11/27/17) and was hoping for a delivery in a day or 2. That was quickly squashed when they told me it wouldn't be till Friday (12/1/17). Still only a 4 day delay so I dealt with it. Well Thursday comes and they call and tell me that "irrigation issues" caused delays and they wouldn't be able to get my grass to me until the FOLLOWING Friday (12/8/17). Well here we are on Thursday 12/7/17 and I get another call saying they are pushing me back ANOTHER WEEK (12/15/17) due to rain. I fully understand that rain is 100% out of their control and sod farms will always shut down harvesting when its raining. I can even be understanding with their vague "irrigation issues"...What I dont appreciate is the reasoning I received as to why they couldn't get the grass to me any sooner. I was literally told "We cant justify making a delivery of just 3 pallets" as to why I needed to wait for a full week each time I faced a delay. Apparently my measly 3 pallets ($500 worth) is not important enough to them to flex a bit or accommodate. If I had 30-40 pallets worth on a commercial job, bet your last dollar they would make it work. I understand that logistics and cost of deliveries are important to your business P&L but when you have a paying customer have to wait over 2 solid weeks to get grass that would usually take 2-3 days I would think its time to step up a little bit and do SOMETHING to make things right. If you're a residential customer outside the Austin area, Id suggest shopping someplace closer to home and work a little more hand and hand with "small orders". read more

Our grass ended up looking very nice. Just wish they were responsive on offering a herbicide for the dense nutsedge that covered may pieces of sod. One application of some serious stuff you can buy online did the trick. read more

As a home builder, I don't often write reviews, but The Grass Outlet and owner, Mike Piwonka, deserve to be known for outstanding effort and honesty. Long story short... On their nickle, The Grass Outlet replaced and professionally installed 15,500 SQ/FT of Sod that had a few "issues" when installed a few months ago. The home owner is very satisfied with the results, and I am proud to have done business with a man that will do what is necessary to make things right ! read more

I Am Amazed! We bought 5 pallets of St. Augustine for our Plano house, 2 months ago and put it in ourselves. The prep consisted of 1) making sure the sprinklers were covering 100% of the lawn 2) using 30% vinegar to kill old grass and weeds on some weedy areas and 3) tilling the entire area that was to receive the sod (some big areas we didn't use any vinegar, just tilled it up pretty well and now it looks the same as the rest of the lawn - so, in retrospect you could skip the vinegar and be fine). Laying the sod was easy but took the whole weekend. After it was down, we used a water-filled roller and set the sprinklers to 2x/day (10 mins/zone) for 2 weeks. The grass took immediately. This grass is not only beautiful, it is one the healthiest plants I've ever seen. This stuff is almost growing too much and too dense. Zero weeds in the grass. Awesome! Delivery was right when they said it would be and there were very few sod sections that we couldn't use. 5 stars. read more

Great experience with The Grass Outlet, everyone was very professional and friendly. I highly recommend!

EXCELLENT! Very high quality grass and they had the best prices in town from the price per pallet to delivery fees. I ordered 8 pallets of grass and not one piece was bad. I was extremely impressed! Paula was great, and everyone was very easy to deal with too! I only wish that you could get dirt from them too! read more

We had prepared our backyard for sodding, only to find the place we had planned to get our sod from (Don's Dirt) only had brown sod---in other words, dead sod! It was Sunday and my boyfriend called around. I wasn't expecting anything, but even though this place wasn't open, a guy was there and answered the phone. Just by chance, some contractor hadn't picked up a pallet of the exact kind of sod we wanted, and the guy offered to wait around til we could come pick it up! They were extremely nice and helpful and we're getting more from them. They were also cheaper ($95) for a pallet than Don's Dirt, and their sod was green and alive. read more

Good prices, great delivery and decent quality. Out of two pallets of palmetto, less than 5% of the sod had some kind of weeds which I was ok with. Would use these guys again. read more

I do not recommend this company to anyone!!! Unless you like to wait and wait and wait!! Ordered grass. Was told delivery would be between 8-9 and its now 10 and they're still an hour away! All my helpers have been here since 8. So maybe by after lunchtime! ?!? Totally not cool. Thank goodness I won't have to deal with this company ever again! Too bad they already took my money. Fool me once..... read more

I ordered 11 pallets of Tiff Bermuda. The ordering process was pleasant and easy; the delivery man was polite and helpful. The grass looked like it was on its last leg when it got to us. It had dead pieces and pieces of St Augustine mixed in. We watered it a ton (having to purchase water delivery services) and we managed to revive it. The most frustrating part was that palettes did not contain the 450 sq ft as expected and we were about 300 sq ft short. We had to leave for a trip immediately after installing the turf, so I had to wait a week and a half to double check my measurements and ensure that I had not mismeasured. When I confirmed that the delivery was indeed short and called to see what could be done, I was told that they were no longer responsible because I had not called in the first 48 hours. Not only that but I would have to pay 50% more to deliver one pallets than I had to get the initial 11 palettes. In short, be prepared to receive less than healthy sod, and make sure you double check how much they sent you within the 48 hours (assuming they would indeed help within that window) read more

I have tried to be patient and understanding but two subsequent underestimations of what it would take to complete a job means I will never use Grass Outlet again. Why send an invoice if after doing half the job, you charge the customer for another pallette? Instead of fixing the mistake, Grass outlet charged me for their error even though they admitted it was their error. Buyer beware: . The invoice is only 2/3 of what it will cost. Never again! read more

Grass Outlet went above and beyond my expectations. They came bus for an estimate on our rental property without me even being there and took measurements. They were prompt and communicated with me prior to and on the day of the estimate as well as the morning of installation. Mike was very professional pleasant and his crew was very fast. The St. Augustine we ordered was in great shape and the installation went quickly and post-installation instructions were very clear. I am very satisfied with the end product and highly recommend them. read more

Have to say I couldn't be more pleased with Mike and his crew. These guys are professional and fast. They went beyond the call of duty for me. I have been recommending these guys to friends and family ever since. Thanks again Mike! read more
