I am happy with the LM that was planted and the overall service was good, the overall process was just a bit lacking in the communication department. Good service nonetheless.

Good communication. Grass and compost delivered and installed well. Workers were friendly.

Poor communication

Work was scheduled from 10:00 - 11:45. The team arrived almost an hour after the deadline time. Even when I followed up by phone, they did not arrive at the revised time. Neither did the driver phoned me as promised by Jack.
I was not informed about any treatment/aftercare post installation of the grass.
1.Improve by being on time as agreed
2. Let the customer know in advance if you run late. Communicate.
3. Give advice regarding aftercare like:
a. How often to water the grass after planting.
b. When can the grass be cut for the first time.
c. How short to cut the grass
d. Must I apply fertilizer and which fertilizer

Overall awesome service

Order process fantastic. Payment process fantastic especially as you only pay on completion of the job.
Communication process not the best, could do better. The labourers were dropped off at around 09h30 but delivery of grass and compost only arrived after 17h00

Friendly team, but some delays and rushed finish

The team that came to install grass in my garden was very friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, they arrived with the wrong type of grass at first and had to fetch the correct one, which delayed the job until around 4 in the afternoon. Because of the late start, the work felt a little rushed, and some areas weren’t rolled down as evenly as they could have been. That said, the overall job wasn’t bad, and I’m hopeful that the grass will settle and grow well.

Reply from Jacks Instant Lawn

Hi Antony,
Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience.

As we explained in our follow-up emails, our firewood is sold based on bag size (Volumetric weight) rather than exact weight, since weight can vary depending on the moisture content and wood density. For example, if the firewood is wet, a bag may weigh up to 13kg, while extremely dry wood can weigh as little as 5kg even though the volume per bag remains the same.

We also reached out and offered to collect the firewood and provide a refund, but did not receive a response.

Our goal is always to ensure customers are happy with both our service and products, and we remain available should you wish to arrange a collection or discuss this further.
