I had a problem in a few areas in my yard which had Marathon II. I called Southland Sod Farms and expressed my concerns. They sent out Norm Lopez who took time to examine the site and recommend solutions. He was great!
Business response:
Richard, thanks for your feedback. Although Marathon II is ideal for Southern California lifestyle, it does require proper site conditions to keep looking great all year round. Our area reps don't sell, they help! They will assist at no cost to you. We want you to enjoy a Marathon lawn with your loved ones AND tell your friends and family about us ;) For other helpful tips, please visit us at www.sod.com or call us at 1.800.532.3489
The gentleman I worked with was John Dimenici. He was very professional and courteous. John listened as I shared my current lawn issues. He recommended a fertilizer that my current lawn professionals did not want to apply. They did follow my instructions as John shared. My lawn hasn’t looked this green and healthy for a long time. Thank you to John for his services. Sincerely, Diane Nicastri
Business response:
Dianne, thank you so much for reaching out and allowing us to help! Your Marathon lawn does need a bit of Fert every 4 to 6 weeks to keep looking great. Our specially formulated "All-Season" Marathon fertilizer is ideal for laws. The high fertilizer content is available to the lawn immediately after irrigation resulting in overnight "Grassification". Our sales reps do not sell any products, but you can find Marathon All Season at your local nursery. For a location near you, you can call us at 1.800.532.3489 or visit us a... read more
Excellent service! I had an issue where the installer didn't do things correctly so I had other grasses growing through the new grass. I reached out to Southland and was directed to speak with Nor. He reached out to my installer immediately and spoke to him about what needed to be done. It was a process for the installer to fix things but Norm was right there through the whole process and took care of things! I highly recommend this company and 10 stars for Norm! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can’t believe I had a house call with Norm! I had a question about fertilizer so I reached out to Norm he responded right away and answered my questions! I sent him a picture of my lawn he said it looked great! He texted me back saying he was going to stop by and leave me a water measuring cup and I said cool! He told me 2pm and he showed up on time ! He went above and beyond!!! He took a look at the grass he saw some problems he told me how to fix them and spotted a weed that I should remove immediately! He gave me some ... read more

We had some concerns about our new St Augustine grass and I called Southland Sod Farms, where the sod came from. The Rep, Norm Lopez, came out the same day and looked at our grass. He told us what we needed to do and kept in contact with us. He actually stopped by recently to look at our lawn. I would give Southland Sod and Norm Lopez 5 Stars!!! They have a great product and outstanding customer service. They really care.

incredible product with awesome customer service
I decided to re-seed my lawn using MarathonII and had some concerns with germination and irrigation as the lawn was not showing improvement in the time that would usually show signs of growth. I had called Southland Sod Farms and they referred me to Renato the area Marathon Representative and he setup a time to stop by and give me his suggestions to improve germination and in a short time after the lawn showed signs of growth. Two weeks later he took the time to stop by and look over the lawn to go over the next steps of car... read more
