I don't quite understand Southern... but sure thing.... my pleasure.

Now if some hirsute guys would donate some growth from the top...
I'd appreciate some as mine is beginning to drop.

That would be great. I am getting frustrated with the lack of sod available.
Home depot received another delivery and was gone before i was able to
Get there. I will touch base with you. My email

I agree. This is The Villages. It is what people do here.

I was at Home Depot today around 1:00pm and they had 4 pallets of zoysia and 1 pallet of St Augustine.

I called The Home Depot at 2:00 today. They told me they received only 1 pallet
And were already sold out. All I want is 8 sheets. I will call again and hopefully the first person was wrong

FOUR PALLETS of Empire Zoysia were received at 9am this morning. I do the ordering and there is zoysia sod left. Delivery days are TUES and THURS. Today was a special delivery. Hope you made the trip over & got what you needed.

I called twice and in both instances I was told their was no Zoysia left. Thanks for letting me know Susan but it appears people at The Home Depot are not on the ball. My situation is a near emergency and I NEED to get Zoysia sod soon. Another nursery made the same promise and didn't come through. If I go tomorrow afternoon, would there be any sod left? If I go Tuesday will there be any left or Thursday. Very frustrated.

Call T&D Pool and Screen installation people. If they are removing some sod to expand a lanai or install a pool, you should be able to get a few pieces. They removed a lot of sod when we had our lanai expanded.

After two weeks of being given the runaround at The Home Depot I will be sending a complaint to management.

I am told they have Zoysia sod. When I get there they don't have it.
Next time Im told a shipment is coming in on a certain day. When I call them, they tell me it came and went.

Four phone calls, four different answers.

Now today, I am told The Home Depot has never sold Zoysia sod and whoever told me otherwise is wrong.

Is this the way to run a business.

Very frustrated

Interesting response since my neighbor bought his there on two separate occasions. Sounds like someone just wanted to get you off the phone. I agree. What a way to run a business.

If you still need sod, you might want to call Allen's Sod. I don't know if they have a minimum. They may just drop off some on their way to another job. They seem like a good group to deal with the times I've used them.

Boy, Tommy, I'll bet you are really frustrated after all this time finding not one place to get sod. Maybe this list will help. I'm sure there are lots of local people around here growing Zoysia by now.

Okay here we go! When you are wrong, it takes a man to admit it. Me bad. With all the phone calls I was making I discovered I was calling a different Home Depot.. I feel like an idiot. When I called the proper number I was told they did indeed have four skids. Ii went down there and picked up 24 pieces $ 1.59 each. Great price. My apologies for jumping the gun and faulting Home Depot when it was my error. Nobody is perfect. Not even Tommy.

Exactly it does take a man to say either, "I made a mistake" or "I don't know."
kudos for that! as for idiocy, I get the award this week. Trying to turn right onto 466A, I watched traffic coming toward the light at great speed, so hesitated to turn. "THE LIGHT IS RED!! I was thinking, ready to blow my horn. Here comes another car, just as fast, right through the light!
Now I'm doubting myself, and roll my eyes when I realize that actually I am the one with the red light. dangerously duhhh...

Watch out for me at Morse and 466A....
