Default Sod replacement

I have a corner lot. When Quantum put the fiber optic cable the dug up about 18 pieces of sod and replaced them with almost nothing. Supervisor came and agreed and said will be replaced. Crew came and replaced 3 pieces and left. What I want to know does anyone know of someone who would come and dig out the bad stuff and replace . Most places you must get a minimum pallet to get work done. I need about 18 pieces.

IMHO, I would go and complain again to Quantum, and then keep going higher up the corporate ladder until you get suitable results, and there are local TV stations that like to do these kind of things.

Keyword search it and you'll find several sod dealers in these parts.

Contact Lumen Technologies the parent company of Quantum Fiber. They are required to return your grass to the same way it was or better. Don’t let them get away with it. Also you better hurry because they are being swallowed up by AT&T

My guess this is a subcontractor. Keep going to the top of the ladder.

There's no excuse for this, stick to your complaint until it's repair correctly.

If you need sod, drive around a new section. Someone is always putting new landscape in and ripping sod out. You can get it from them in most cases.

I would call the district property management. They will send someone to look at it and can probably get it fixed with the appropriate vendor. This isn't your property, so you really shouldn't have to pay to have the sod fixed.
