[QUOTE="Lurkerinthewoods, post: 1497097, member: 15231"] When we built our house back in 06, we had the same problem. We looked at the model home and it had dang near a golf course lawn(thick and weed free) before we built. Sod was never mentioned as an upgrade. When spring came and the majority of the lawn was nothing but weeds, we called the company that laid the sod and they said the builder uses "builder grade" sod and that the model home had upgraded sod. We called the builder and raised hell and let him know it was not acceptable to place weed infested sod in a new build. We gave him 2 options, pay for 1 year of Tru Green full service lawn care or re-sod the yard. He basically told us that he was taking neither option. :boxing3: After a couple calls to the BBB and the Tulsa Home Builders Association, we had a Tru Green rep show up at the door. They applied their magic and then applied some pre emergent the following spring. I have used Scotts Turf Builder every year since. I still have a few pesky weeds that won't give up the fight but nothing like it was before. [/QUOTE]
