Shoddy Workmanship on Lawn

[sedy]

Last year we paid close to $5000 to have the entire lawn seeded. Twelve months later only about 10% of the area has grass. Now into the second spring season, can we recoup damages?

[Mr. Knowitall]

To recover damages you would have to demonstrate that the grass died because of negligence by the installer (or a breach of warranty - but if there is a warranty you should be asking the installer to honor the warranty). It doesn't automatically follow that, just because the grass died, your installer did something wrong.
