We just put in some Marathon II sod at the beginning of July. All was going well, then we started getting some brown spots. John came out to inspect the situation. He was very knowledgeable and gave some sound advice. Looking forward to the outcome after applying his helpful tips.

I called Marathon Sod about a 7 days ago and they gave me some advice for a watering schedule since the new grass started changing in appearance. Today I called and expressed concern that the grass was starting the to turn yellow in patches. I was transferred over the phone to Renato who is a regional supervisor and he quickly showed concern and offered reassurance. He was in San Diego but stated that he would be able to stop by and visit my property the same day in Downey, Ca . I was very pleased with the swiftness of their... read more

Two guys, Renato and (forgot his name) from Marathon came out the day they scheduled and on time. They were very knowledgeable. They said the brown spots was from lack of water. I told them the contractor who installed the sprinkler system and the grass (4000 sq ft) said it was a fungus and to let it dry out and cut back the water. Renato placed testing cups in a dozen different locations half in brown areas and half in green areas and then ran the sprinkler system through it’s scheduled times. They then showed me the cups a... read more

Southland Sod Farms provided great service from the delivery of the sod to replacement of sod after we were hit with an extreme heat wave. Norm was most helpful with his prompt diagnosis of the problems all the way through the replacement of the sod.
I am so impressed with the Customer Service at Southland Sod. I called with concerns about our newly installed Saint Augustine lawn which was browning out in areas. I was connected with Renado who came out the next morning to assess the problem. Renado was prompt, professional, and so helpful. He assessed the situation and gave me clear instructions on how to proceed to rectify the problem. Renado and Jorge were excellent!!!

They offered a too good to be true up-front story to re-seed our lawn that turned out to be fraudulent and ended up in a terrible financial and landscaping d... read more

Southland Sod Farm rep, John Domenici, was incredibly helpful. He came to my residence and reviewed the problems my lawn was having and came up with a great solution for me. I really appreciated his expertise and guidance he gave me going forward so I won’t have issues maintaining my lawn. I will recommend Southland to anyone thinking of getting new sod. Jim
