Grassroots Davis

Very Disappointing! Do not hire this company to remove your Bermuda grass!
We hired Grassroots Davis to remove our front lawn, which was Bermuda grass, as well as some plants in the yard which were infested with the grass. They said they’d dig it all out with shovels, it would take two days, and they’d cart away all the grass and plants to the dump. We agreed to pay the $ 1000 they were asking.
They arrived on time and got to work. Unfortunately, they seemed to be unfamiliar with Bermuda grass and its deep roots. After about a half day of shoveling, they realized it was going to take them way longer than they anticipated to remove the grass, so they rented a sod cutter to finish the job. They struggled to work the machine, but finally got it going and scraped off about 2″ of grass, rolled it up, raked the remaining debris and took it all to the dump. The ground looked like bare dirt for a few days and we thought it was fine. Then, the grass starting sprouting up. Now, two weeks later, the ground is covered with grass shoots again. To their credit, Bo and his partner agreed to stop by to survey the situation when we told them of our disappointment in the work they had performed. Unfortunately, they did not offer to finish the job because they felt they had done what they had agreed to do. We had no written contract, just an oral agreement, and clearly there was a misunderstanding of what we were paying them to do. (Word to the wise: get in writing exactly what you are paying the contractor to do!)
Now we are going to have to hire another person to come through with the sod cutter again to finish the job. We feel ripped off by Grassroots Davis for doing such an inadequate job and charging so much. If they didn’t know how hard it was to get rid of bermuda grass, they should have told us that up front and we would have found someone else.
They may be fine with other kinds of grass, but I would never recommend Grassroots Davis to anyone for the removal of bermuda grass.
