Southland Sod Farms did very good by me and my family. John our sales rep was very willing to speak to me on multiple occasions to help me with my needs as I'm not a professional landscaper, just a homeowner with a DIY project. We ordered sod a little over 3 years ago and unfortunately had some issues in both front and back yards. I called John again and spoke to him about the issues. The plan was to order more sod to repair the areas of issue. When I spoke to John he let me know they discontinued the Zoysia variety we had purchased. He also, after explaining the issues and sharing photos, said they would credit us to get one of the different varieties they carry based on the wholesale price of our original purchase. We chose St. Augustine which was more expensive than what we previously purchased. It was a LOT of work to remove our existing sod and John talked me through the process. Once finally prepared for a new round of sod John said there would be no charge at all. It was very obvious that they were more concerned about a happy satisfied customer than another sale. I've had our new sod in since the beginning of September and it's now middle of November, and it looks great even after installing at the end of the growing season. I hope I never have to do this again because it's a lot of work but if I were to, I would definitely use Southland again. The drivers both times were friendly and prompt. Both times the sod looked very healthy. Use Southland for your next sod project you won't be disappointed. Thanks Southland and John! Sincerely, Chris in Oceanside

Southland Sod Farms and their expert, Renato, has been fabulous to work with. Renato and the Southland team are highly experienced with sod and grass. In addition, they offer hands-on knowledge and assessed all aspects of my property in order to specify the correct sod, seed species and fertilizer for my specific yard characteristic. My lawn looks amazing after working with Southland. They even worked with me on the correct maintenance and water schedule to perfect the ongoing look of my lawn while being mindful of our drought. Thank you Southland and Renato for going well above and beyond.

Thank you for having Renato visit my home. He was out over a year ago and made suggestions that really improved my yard’s appearance. Your fertilizer really made a difference. I called again because I was still struggling in a large shady area. The grass was thin and patchy. Renato noticed immediately that I was watering too much and the ground was spongy. He showed me a trick to tell when the soul is too moist. The personal service provided by Renato and Southland is amazing! Thank You!!

My landscaper ordered my Marathon 2 Sod through Whittier Fertilizer and it was delivered in excellent condition. My soil was leveled and fertilized with the starter fertilizer and was ready for the new Marathon Sod. The landscaping crew made the installation look easy and the results were awesome. The quality of the Marathon 2 Sod was so much better than the sod I saw at the big homecare centers. Four neighbors stopped to inquire where I purchased my lawn and I told them my landscaper used Southland Sod Farms Marathon 2 Sod and to talk to him. He's got two new clients that want the Marathon Sod installed on their property and now I have more inqueries about my beautiful lawn!

Southland Farms did an outstanding job installing our lawn thanks mainly to John Domenici who has many years of experience. We have worked with John on previous lawns over the years. Everything went as planned as John worked with our landscaper to insure a smooth process on the day of delivery. John also advised us on watering, fertilizer to use( we use Southland Farms Marathon All Season brand )and it is far superior to any other fertilizer. The result is the greenest best looking lawn in the neighborhood. John has occasionally checked on our lawn to make sure we are happy. His advice has been invaluable in insuring a great looking, healthy lawn. We highly recommend John and Southland if your goal is complete satisfaction.

I decided to reseed my lawn with MarathonII and had concerns with germination and irrigation and Southland Sod farm referred me to Renato the Marathon representative. He offered to visit and review what was happening with my lawn and made a few suggestions and after two weeks my lawn has grown green and healthy. Excellent customer service and would reccomend to anyone who is getting ready to reseed or sod their lawn.

Redoing front and back lawn with Marathon 2. Ordering was easy, delivery was early during the 1 hour window assigned the prior day. Great experience.
