Hired on Thumbtack

James and his crew pleasantly surprised me! The quote I was given for the job was MUCH cheaper than another one I received for the same area (the other person wanted to charge me almost 3xs as much as James did-mainly for outsourcing the work). Oh and also, unlike the other crew, James actually sent me a professional quote. The other company wanted to have a verbal agreement and only texted me a breakdown after I asked several times how the price was determined. James was here the entire time and actually working (not just standing and pointing). My front yard use to be an eye sore with brown patchy grass. Now I am so happy to go outside and see what James and his crew have done. I cannot wait to host events in the summer now and have folks see my front yard. Thank you James for your patience with me (I had a lot of questions throughout haha and he always answered right away), and for beautifying our home :)

Details: Residential • Small (less than 1,000 sq ft) • Installed onto existing lawn • Clear old grass or weeds • I need the pro to provide the sod

Southern Grounds went above and beyond my expectations. They easily understood the request and followed through quickly. I would recommend them to anyone seeking landscaping or related work. They were prompt, kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I’m a first-time homeowner and they really made me feel at ease with my concerns and we’re great listeners as well as teachers.

Seth came out and did all the heavy trimming and edging I needed at a very fair price. I will hire him next time. I even added his phone to my contact list so I won't lose his contact info.

Thumbtack would only allow me to rate James and his crew on 3/5 categories. Given the option I would have graded them top knotch on all 5. The 3 I chose were -) professionalism- from my first inquiry Up to the final piece of was laid James was right there with me. He wasn’t pushy or overbearing we figured out how much sod would be needed and James took it from there. He contacted several sod farms to weight or options. Once I decked the exact grass I wanted James called his guys and found the best prices and lead dates for my particular situation. 2) his responsiveness was next level. Doing a major overhaul/renovation in our front yard is a big deal and can be stressful. James squelched all feeling of doubt by walking me through the process. Talking how they would approach my land specifically. Due to rain my sod got pushed back a week. I never has to track down the sod farm. Never had to poke and prod about when it might be ready. James already knew and would relay the info to me as soon as he caught wind of it. He and his crew were at the house ready to rock by 7am. By the time the sod farm delivered the sod, James and his Guys already had everything prepped and ready for installation. They all cool dudes, more than willing to field requests and meet them (if possible). After sodding my entire front yard we still had a pallet of sod remaining and some fill dirt. Instead of calling it a day they came and asked if the could us those materials on my other lawn that has drainage issues and needed some helps Their work was fantastic and punctual. But the quality of service given by James was next level. His willingness to constantly keep me up to date and weigh different options along the way was invaluable. When the project was complete and paid for, I got a text from James offering some advice for caring for the sod. I joked with him that he’s already been paid… this is the part where he supposed to throw me to the wind and wish me the best of luck. He responded by saying that’s just how he operates- continuing to take care of customers even when there’s nothing left for him to get out of it. Great guy, great crew. I’ll continue to populate this review with updated photos as the lawn progresses 3)
