    Had a tree removed from the backyard because it was too large. So what to do in the empty spot? Replace the poor tree with a putting green naturally! This company was the only one that responded to my estimate request. Tim was super nice. My son was impressed with how hard the install team worked. Everyone was so nice to my family and the guys cleaned up too. They really respected my property and I sincerely appreciate that! I highly recommend this company. Even Tamara was friendly and helpful! See for yourself how nice the putting green came out!

    We couldn't be happier with our new turf! I was having a party for my husband on Saturday - I set up a consultation with the owner, Chris on the Monday before the party and we had the turf completely installed by Wednesday! Chris was extremely knowledgable and upfront regarding the installation and even suggested we add a goalie box of different turf in front of our giant soccer net (as we are not golfers). Although my request to have it done before Saturday was big, he made it happen. The turf is gorgeous and has made our backyard seem larger and the best part is no more mud/dirt being tracked in by the kids! Highly recommend this company!

    I had old artificial turf that was turning 20 and when searching for companies to replace the old stuff, I was a bit overwhelmed to say the least. A neighbor recommended Chris at Backyard Golf so I added him to the list of contractors. Once Chris and I met, I knew he was the guy for the job. Chris was honest, upfront and super fair on his pricing. I was a bit skeptical with the promises made considering we needed some roots removed and had some drainage issues. Long story short, wow! was I impressed with his crew and how amazing everything turned out. His crew was on time, hard working, and had an extreme attention to detail. I'm so thankful we found Chris at Backyard Golf and truly can't say enough of how happy we are!

    Putting green with nice breaks. Brick painted white for installation of a color graphic of a long fairway to give the space flair.

    I took up golf about 7 months ago and at the range all I practice is driving. My game is coming along, but my putting really stinks! So I decided to have a putting green installed to complement my newly constructed custom outdoor kitchen. Backyard Golf wasn't the first place I called, but after talking to Tim on the phone I was convinced that he knew what he was talking about. Tim came out to access my space and was extremely informative. I was impressed that he was a pro golf instructor and knew his way around the greens. My space isn't large, approx. 13'x26' but he drew out the layout and I feel in love. Although I hadn't started the construction, and it was 5 months after Tim was here, he never bugged me about beginning. And, as a sales executive, that can be very hard not to do! Backyard Golf's installation team was quick, efficient and friendly. They knew their stuff and worked together like an orchestra! If you need a putting green or turf make sure to give them a call!

    Approx 13 X 20 side yard install. Longer rough chipping area in the front, fringe and greens. Love it!

    Chris and the Backyard Golf crew are THE BEST! I obtained 4 bids from local OC turf/putting green installers. Backyard golf got the bid for the following reasons: Chris golfs. He understands what a golfer would want in a putting area. They've installed all the putting greens at Roger Dunn shops and the First Tee program OC. Their bid wasn't the highest nor was it the cheapest but the quality of the materials and workmanship exceeded expectations, all referrals I reached out to were quite confident in their services. If you're a golfer and really want a putting quality that rolls close to a true putting surface, go with this company. Be weary of other companies and the type of materials... Do your research! I have a 13X25 side yard that went from unused dead grass to a chipping and putting practice area that's no maintenance!

    My husband and I had talked about a backyard putting green for years. When gophers attacked our grass, we decided to make it a reality. We contacted several companies and decided to use Backyard Golf and Games because they specialize in putting greens. We are so glad that we did! From the consultation on, Trent discussed a green that was exactly how we pictured it! We have a small side yard as well, and Trent and his crew even delivered the gravel for our pathway! Installation only took two days. I have a backyard orchard, so I was worried that some of the branches of my trees would be damaged. My worries were for nothing. The crew worked my trees into the design and none of my trees were damaged during installation. The crew cleaned up after themselves each day which doesn't happen with every landscape/construction company. At the last minute, my husband and I decided to add another hole and change the hole placements. No problem. I talked to Trent over the phone, and he made sure the hole placements met our specifications. The only downside was a new flag had to be ordered. I picked the flag up a few days later from their store which is a small sacrifice to have exactly what you want. My husband and I now have exactly the backyard we envisioned, down to each flag having it's own color. I highly recommend the company. Now to plan the front yard...

    Trent provided us the best service: Always on time (even arrives earlier), very responsible, professional, and friendly! The turf is in no doubt great quality, and fair price too~ We love it! Thank you!

    They did an amazing job!!

    I just put in a pool in my backyard and decided to pull up all of our grass and put in artificial grass. I hired Chris and Tim from Backyard Golf and I couldn't be happier. They did a fantastic job!!! The guys that did the install did were super detailed and made it look amazing. I would highly recommend them.

Right from the start, working with Jeremy was a breath of fresh air. He came out for our consultation, walked us through everything with total clarity, and was remarkably honest. Instead of trying to upsell us, he focused strictly on what was necessary for our space. Since we needed a pet-friendly setup, he made sure the turf was properly treated with a specialized pet solution to keep everything clean and fresh, and he gave us a very fair quote. The scheduling process was seamless, and they accommodated a Saturday installation. I was home to watch the crew work, and their dedication was incredible to see. They didn't just lay the turf--they crafted custom edging around the whole 800 sq ft area and even installed a drip line along our privacy trees to keep our landscaping thriving. Looking at and walking on the finished turf, we were truly blown away by the craftsmanship and attention to detail. If you're planning an outdoor project, do yourself a favor and give Grizzly Outdoor a call. You will not be disappointed!

Our original plan included the front yard, backyard, and curbside. After discussing our budget, we decided to complete only the front and backyard for now and save the curbside for later. What really impressed us was that Phillip told us he would honor the same quoted price whenever we're ready to finish the curbside. I've honestly never had a business make that kind of commitment, and it speaks volumes about his integrity and customer-first approach. The installation crew of three was outstanding. They were professional, hardworking, and incredibly friendly throughout the project. We have a young son who was fascinated watching them work every day. The crew was so kind and patient with him that he ended up becoming their biggest fan--he kept bringing them water, snacks, and even ice cream each day because he enjoyed having them around so much! The finished turf looks amazing, and we're very happy with the quality of the work. If you're looking for a company that's honest, fairly priced, does excellent work, and genuinely cares about its customers, I highly recommend Phillip and his team. We'll definitely be calling him back when we're ready to complete the curbside.

Phillip even went way above and beyond- we have old turf in our front yard that was installed 10 to 15 years ago, and he cleaned/brushed it when I didn't even ask him to do that and now our front yard looks amazing too!

    I paid $5,000 in 2014 for fake grass in my backyard. Even though I had a dog, that turf never…read moresmelled and never suffered damage from hot spots. Fast forward to 2026. I paid more money to Ruff n Tuff for new turf than I did for all new interior paint throughout my entire house, all new windows, and an all new roof. This was by far the most expensive home improvement project I've invested in to date. About 60% of the way through the multi day install, they told me the neighbor's low e window was melting the new turf in streaks in one portion of my yard. They didn't offer a solution other than advising me to ask the neighbor to put a film on his window or to keep the turf covered to prevent the damage. At that point I had no choice but to proceed with the rest of the install; they had already ripped up the old turf and were more than half way done installing the new turf, but I was very disappointed because I obviously would not have chosen that product if I had known there would be an issue. I felt like I was being gaslit too, because Bob basically told me the reason the old turf didn't melt was because it was poorer quality. (What!?) I have samples of the old turf from its day 1 install. It was fluffy and beautiful 12 years ago, just like the Ruff N Tuff turf, but it never melted! They replaced the grass in the area where it had melted, finished the job, and I paid them the full amount thinking I could manage the situation by keeping the area covered. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts (I placed several lawn chairs over the area in question to ensure it remained covered), there are now several spots in that area where the turf has completely melted. I'm beyond disappointed because I know from experience now that not all turf products are the same and this could have been prevented. We could have designed around that area, or I could have researched and purchased a superior product, but I expected the experts to know what to look for and guide me through the process. They didn't, and now I have very expensive melted grass in a section of my yard. Also, the area behind my house where my dog pees now smells. I hose it daily, but it doesn't help. I didn't have that problem with the prior turf. All I can say is I'm not sure you get what you pay for with this product. The installers were fantastic, but I'd recommend a different product. Good luck!!!!

    I see a lot of people post reviews right after install; however, I purposefully waited to post my…read morereview to see how the product/installation held up with the test of time, as this is a big investment... I purchased my home in Escondido, CA in early 2022 and started exploring backyard renovation options shortly after. By September 2022, I chose to move forward with Ruff N Tuff Turf after being told that my backyard would be featured in their marketing materials and that I'd receive a discounted rate because of this. Unfortunately, I now believe this was just a sales tactic. From the beginning, there were red flags. The salesperson, Anthony, provided a very rough, unprofessional mockup (see attached image), and the design did not accurately reflect my backyard's measurements or layout. The layout boxes didn't align with the space, which likely led to incorrect ordering... too much paver material (I still have a significant surplus far beyond the 10% overage I was told to expect) and not enough turf. The shortfall in turf meant they had to install it in multiple sections with seams, despite me being promised a seamless look during the sales pitch. Fast forward to now, nearly three years later, and I've been dealing with an ongoing issue of weeds growing through the turf, not just around the edges, but directly through the middle (see attached photos). I contacted Ruff N Tuff Turf and was told this was not their responsibility and was purely a maintenance issue on my end and to use Roundup 365. However, several other landscaping professionals I've since consulted confirmed that properly installed artificial turf should not allow weeds to grow through like this. Surface weeds can happen, but penetration through the turf indicates a deeper problem with installation or materials. For transparency, I paid $31,343 for: 860 sq ft of Soft Touch Pro-Natural Series 1000 turf (envirofill, zeolite, and 15 LF premium poly board) 449 sq ft of courtyard pavers (including polymeric sand) 286 sq ft of 3/8 rock 3 stump removals On a positive note, the turf has held its color, doesn't retain pet odors, stays cooler than other turf I've experienced, and does look fairly realistic (though now, the weeds probably make it look too realistic). Overall, my experience with Ruff N Tuff Turf was disappointing, from the misleading sales approach, to poor planning, to subpar installation, and the lack of professionalism/accountability after the fact. I would recommend doing thorough research and getting multiple professional opinions before moving forward with this company.
