Sod Disclaimer

G&G Garden and Lawn Care does not, under any circumstances, guarantee or warranty sod. G&G offers sod for a convenience and a service to those that understand the nature of grass; a living and breathing organism. Sod in this state is incredibly vulnerable. Maintaining a new lawn for best results requires education, knowledge and patience. Here is a rebuttal to some of the thoughts you may have regarding sod from G&G:

You installed sod with fungus
We may have. In Florida, the high humidity and tropical weather, guarantee millions of spores in the air at all times. The sod is treated frequently with fungicide, but that is not a guarantee that fungus will not be present. Your sod travels over 100 miles to you in 80+ percent humidity and 90+ degree temperatures. Once your sod is installed and no longer cooking on the pallet, you must water your lawn more than usual. The combination of high temperatures and excess water can cause more fungus to develop. In Florida, fungus control on your lawn is a full time investment and never a job to be taken lightly. Fungus can take over your lawn in less than 24 hours, causing brown patches or the appearance of dead grass. Your new lawn is a great incubator for fungus problems. In fact, you can bet on a 100% guarantee of having fungus in the air where you live; the spores will settle on your new lawn and devour it if not managed.

You sold us grass with webworms
It is possible. Webworms and insects in general like to attack plants that are stressed. If you have one moth in your neighborhood, it is possible that you will have an infestation within weeks, because your grass is stressed and weak. You will continuously fight insects in your Florida lawn. A young lawn is more prone to infestation than an established lawn.

You installed bad grass and now it is dead.
G&G never install bad grass. We always search for green and healthy grass with all of our suppliers, some periods of the year is hard to find good grass, if that is the case we will wait until we find good sod to schedule the job. How it is maintained and the environment in which it is installed, is not a liability we can absorb. Bahia grass is an exception, it is hard to believe that the brown, falling apart grass you get will green up and come back fast once installed.

The grass is falling apart
If your turf is bahia, that is fine and normal. Bahia is harvested in cow pastures and grown in an uncontrolled environment, which results in grass looking dead or falling apart. We do not stand behind our bahia; it is only provided as a service to those that need bahia and understand the nature of the turf.

This list is not exhaustive. There are many more reasons why your sod may die or you may fail at installing a new lawn. There are no guarantees that your new sod will survive the process of harvest from the field, installation and growth in the days or weeks to come. G&G and its suppliers have zero control of the environment, in which sod is installed and the level of maintenance expertise. Even professionals of the highest degree struggle with maintaining a “perfect lawn.” For these reasons and more, G&G  does not guarantee or warranty any sod purchase. We highly recommend after installing new sod to hire the irrigation checkup and fertilization services, you can learn more about these service clicking here.
