They set us on a continual contract to do work so it's on-going. It's basically for a full year of which the work of course is more intense in the summer.

I have an annual contract with them. They have done all the landscaping on this yard. I love them. They are expensive but they are worth it. The White House has used them. They have totally terraced our back yard. They have done swales for us. They always call me before they come because I have dogs. They are really good. I have used them for 20 years. One time a guy left the gate open and I was very upset, so that's why they make sure they call.
Description of Work: This last time they were just getting rid of weeds back in our dog run area.

Went well. Not perfect (some gaps in the lawn), but acceptable. The plantings were done well -- I appreciated they put in an 20 foot tree with no problems!
Description of Work: Replant grass (after lawn was dug up). Also planted some bushes and trees on side of house. (Was in spring of 2013)

We were recommended to Southern States at Home Depot because we were buying an enormous amount of dirt for a very large raised vegetable bed/planter and it was getting very expensive. They had much better prices at Southern States. I only wish that a) we owned a truck instead of a sedan, and b) we had gone there first!
Description of Work: Thye have the best prices on topsoil, mulch, and fill dirt around, but bring a truck! Our sedan definitely wasn't up to the task.

They did a great job. The crew was very hardworking and friendly. I did have a concern about one area where I thought the pipes didn't fit together properly, as I would have done the job slightly differently. But they addressed all my concerns and were very amenable to running a test to ensure that the pipes were fitted correctly. All was good, there was no water leaking out.
Description of Work: Turf Center Lawns basically gave me a new yard. They re-landscaped my yard so that I would have water draining away from my house. The job involved regrading the back, left side, and right side of my house, so that there would be a positive slope away from my house. In the process of doing this, they created two barely noticeable (but much needed) swales to funnel the water away from my house. They also buried all 4 downspouts, connecting them to drainage pipes that led water out to the sidewalk.

Description of Work: Called to get an estimate to bring in topsoil and sod yard. They gave me an estimate of $27,000.00. I ended up renting a small bobcat and bringing in topsoil myself. I seeded the yard and it looks terrific. Total spent $3000.00.

They came out and gave us an estimate when we called. They were very good and very professional about giving it to us in writing. They knew what they were doing, and they have done it before for sure. There were very fairly priced and very knowledgeable about what they were doing. It's a family business that they have been doing forever. They were very understanding of the fact that people had budgets that they had to stay within. I would absolutely consider them to do additional work in our home.
Description of Work: I used Turf Center Lawns Inc. for a sod installation.

The backyard of our home sloped towards the house, creating a negative grade. We called Turf Center on the recommendation of a family member to give us an estimate. Mary Ellen came out to assess our situation. The job ended up being much more extensive than we had anticipated due to a few factors that our home inspector and even our contractor (who we like very much) had overlooked, but Mary Ellen caught. Grading couldn't be performed under the deck without removing part of it, so we opted to remove the entire thing. Additionally there was a hidden basement window under the deck that we hadn't even noticed ourselves. Turf Center took care of this for us, including removing and bricking-in the basement window to allow for proper placement of a vent there. We also had them remove a huge section of asphalt to allow for proper grading. One of the bigger expenses was having them dig out the entire foundation and water-proof it, but we felt this was well worth the peace of mind. The home had mold growth inside the basement which we believed was the result of water settling around the foundation. The grading they did came out wonderfully and the sod they laid looked beautiful. It totally transformed our backyard. We want to have them back in a few years to work their magic on some other areas of the yard that need attention. Though Turf Center is expensive, their work was wonderful and completely very quickly. And it was great to have such a wide range of problems solved by one contractor.
Description of Work: Grading of backyard to correct drainage problem, installation of window wells, deck removal, waterproofing of house foundation, asphalt removal, bricking-in of one window.

Great. It was a disgrace on Wednesday. I went to Vegas. Came home on Monday and I had green grass around the house and a painted blue lawn. It grew in nicely.
Description of Work: A complete renovation of the entire lawn. Removing old lawn's lifeless husk and bringing in new topsoil, regrading, tilling, applying lime and fertilizer and hydro seeding. Even threw in some free sod around the house.

Putting down grass seed seems like an easy project. The staff at Turf Center can make you appreciate that, there is an art to watching grass grow. Provided detailed consultation on choosing the best seed mix based upon soil conditions, topography, and sun/shade conditions in my yard. Feel happy getting a good price on a quality product from a knowledgeable staff. Also went out of their way to make my two young daughters feel welcome in the store, which was nice. In the past, I've also bought, several rolls of sod and been very happy with the quality of the product.
Description of Work: Purchased 20 pounds of grass seed + straw. Discussed in remarkable detail the pros and cons of various commercial mixes, as well as their own blends of seed.
