I had a great experience with Owen and Earth Design Turf. Owen was very prompt and responsive, and he made some good recommendations throughout the installation process. The crew was very professional and finished everything on schedule. We are really happy with the end result of the turf and concrete border/garden bed installed by Earth Design. The estimate process was fair and detailed. I'd definitely recommend checking out Earth Design for your low maintenance landscape needs. read more

I had a great experience with Earth Design. After wasting time with another local turf company (uninspired design, not full service and took days chasing a quote), I messaged Earth Design on Yelp. They responded quickly and set up and appointment for Jim to visit. When Jim arrived, I explained what I wanted and he got it - no monkeying around. Within an hour, I had a quote which I promptly approved and we were off to the races. Jim gave me an install date about a week out - he had to order pavers or it may have been even faster. A week was fine though. On install day, Jim and the crew showed up and got right to work. Two days later, my vision realized, the work was complete. My backyard looks awesome! Here's what I liked about the my dealings with Earth Design: Jim was on time, great communicator, listened to what I wanted and executed the plan flawlessly. Crew was great. Hard working, respectful of my property, performed high quality work and cleaned up after they were done. Quality of turf is excellent (I purchased a very realistic looking, high quality turf.) Nice design. I showed Jim a photo of what I was thinking and he knew what I was looking for and it turned out GREAT! It's been almost a year and the turf has held up extremely well, no matting or turf coming up. *Of note, I have three small dogs that use the yard, but I spray with Simple Green Outdoor Odor eliminator weekly in warmer weather, bi-weekly in cooler weather - no smelly yard. I'm pretty sure he used pet appropriate infill/base. Great experience - 5 stars! read more

These guys are pros. I heard of them while I was waiting for a city inspector for a job we did for one of our clients. As soon as the city inspector got there to inspect our HVAC job, he immediately started complementing the synthetic grass that my client had. The city inspector said that earth design did a nice job and he has been shopping around for synthetic turf. The city inspector and I got Earth Design's info from our client. I called Earth Design and Owen came out for an estimate. Owen is professional, knowledgeable, punctual and answered all of the questions I had. The work crew is really good and these guys are experienced. They all seem happy working and minding their own business. They knocked out the work in the amount of time they say they will. They handled my sprinklers system like pros and I'm happy with their decisions. I highly recommend this place. Thank you Owen, Joel and the rest of the install crew. read more

Great experience with Seth and the Earth Design install team. I've been looking into synthetic turf for about a year now and finally started getting bids about a month ago and had 3 companies come out for estimates. Seth from Earth Design showed up on time (very much appreciated) and walked me through the technical and financial details of the project. He was very honest about the scope, timeframe and the product (turf) qualities and how they would vary (or not vary) from company to company. He spent ample time answering my questions from grading, drainage, turf differences and any pet issues that may arise. The other 2 companies were ok (one lower bid and one higher) however I decided to go with Seth and his team and I'm very glad I did. His crew showed up right on time with an army of trucks, equipment and materials and they started working soon after arrival. You can tell this wasn't their first time doing this as each one of the workers pretty much knew what their role was from digging, turf cutting and product placement. For the area (putting green design) they needed my input, we were able to work out a great shape and they assisted with hole placements and grading suggestions as well. As seen on the pictures, they were extremely dedicated to installing everything in a very quality manner. Not only were they efficient but just watching their detailing on the seams, edging and wrap-up procedures just made it very justifying that I went with Earth Design. read more

Whether it's no maintenance or low maintenance, I now have more maintenance. Pre-artificial turf, the gardener jut cut the grass, now he has to kill the weeds and the additional grass growing out of the artificial turf and then when they're dead, he has to pull the dead weeds out of the turf. read more

Seth at Earth Design Turf is really great at his job. Very well in his presentation! Great on communication throughout. He is a nice guy to boot. Beautiful job. One day. Brought his guys in early and did our whole front yard. Looks beautiful. Nice edging. Quite good on price and we priced out many others. An A+++ job. We are happy to be referrals. Especially for any others near Westchester. read more

If I could give more stars I would! Earth Design was incredibly easy to work with and kept their word all along the way. Jim was who I met with and he showed up on time, left me with a sample and followed through all the way until the project was completed. When we decided to go with Earth Design as our vendor, Jim promised me that his crew was the best and that they stand behind their product. I am always cautious, but him and his guys really made it happen! His team showed up also on time and completed our (500 sq foot backyard) in 2 days. They worked very clean and never left anything behind. They have given us an absolutely perfect and beautiful back yard for our three dogs and new baby to play! Perfect time just before summer! read more

I've been putting off this update because it is so unpleasant to relive my experience. So, I will keep it as brief as I can. It took me one year to get the owner, Chris, to come to my house to look at the turf. Previously, without looking at the turf, he had instructed his guys to power mow it and to add two different kinds of infill which had no effect. When he finally came to look, he made several comments: "This looks like a truck drove over it." I weigh 120 lbs. He told me that infill isn't the only factor (that's an entire story in itself). He commented that another customer was having an issue with the turf "curling." Said that he would never use this turf again. He suggested installing pavers. I had never wanted pavers but the only other solution would be to replace the entire yard. However, I agreed to try it. As before, the installers were great. The location of the pavers, for esthetic reasons, doesn't cover the flattened turf but runs parallel to it. Now, the only way I can prevent the rest of the turf from flattening is to not step on it. I have a large yard that I can't walk on. We discussed manufacturer warranty possibilities and he said he would speak with them. It had been a year by now so it was iffy that they would agree to replace the turf. I even told Chris that I would help pay for the labor. The primary reason that Chris made any effort at all to fix anything was because he wanted me to change my Yelp review. I said I would when he fixed the problem. Well, I wrote an update saying that I was optimistic now that he was going to call the manufacturer -- planning to update further when the problem was resolved. Then, a women made comments to my original update accusing me of blackmailing them (to get a good review). I deleted the update and called her. It was ugly. She said "It's just you and me now." It was like she wanted to take me out in the alley and fight. Finally, I did what I think most shabby companies do - I gave up. Just gave up because I wouldn't deal with them any more. I think that, maybe, if Chris had come to look at the turf after I first tried to contact him, we might have been able to resolve things. My grade for this company is: F for sales integrity, A for installation, F for quality control, and F for customer service. read more

After moving into our dream house, the grass in our yard was perpetually fluctuating between patches of green, brown and dead. It's hard to keep a lawn beautiful in SoCal, especially in the summer. When we were ready to put in our landscaping, we decided it would be best to go with a live grass alternative (okay, synthetic turf or fake grass). We shopped around, comparing prices and prospective service quality. We were smart when we chose Earth Design. Seth came over with many samples, explaining the differences. He worked with us on the price and we are so happy we went with them. Our yard turned out beautifully. He made a very slight mound so it doesn't look like a putting green. We are asked all the time if it's real, only because it's impossible to keep a lawn looking that uniformally good. We receive unlimited compliments. How delightful! We highly recommend Seth and Earth Design. You can't go wrong. Just look at the photos! (Sorry, I couldn't change the order of the photos after posting.) read more

What a wonderful experience! Seth made it so. Terrific crew. On time. Careful installation. So professional. Left our yard clean. Our backyard looks like a new property. Our front yard was done a few years back by Smart Grass, who never bothered to call back when we requested an estimate.( pretty poor response to a former customer) But we feel fortunate that Seth and Earth Design was who we selected to do the backyard because it looks better than the front yard done by Smart Grass . The installation around edges and walkways is far superior in appearance and there are no visible seams as in our front yard. We're enjoying our Earth Design lawn! read more

I found Earth Design by searching through recommendations on Nextdoor - we made a free consultation appointment and got such a great vibe from Seth, the project manager, that we scheduled the installation almost immediately. Seth walked through just about every design detail and helped with recommendations on the garden spaces as well. The team was prompt, clean, professional and fast! In two days we had transformed our dried up and dusty 1,700 sq ft lawn into a beautiful green space that we can really use - plus they laid flagstone pathways that perfectly matched our plans and helped plant our gardens too. It was all a big investment, but according to my own research on the quality of the materials and the workmanship, I think the price was more than fair. It's not a job you want to cut corners on and we're thrilled with the results! read more

I wanted to start off by saying that Earth Designs did a good job on my job. They are good up until the point where the job is completed. After that, customer follow up is frankly poor. I was contemplating another job on my front but now there are so many more companies in this space now that I'll look else where. read more

Simply the BEST. I work in real estate and see a lot of turf on a weekly basis and this is the best I've even seen. Not only is the owner Seth very knowledgeable but he's a great guy who guided us with our decision. We can't believe how good everything turned out. His crew were really nice and professional as well. They had done a friends place and he highly recommended them and we are really glad we listened. It looks so real. Really competitively priced as well. If you are considering getting turf then look no further and go with this company. You won't regret it! read more

Prior to Seth and Earth Design, I had a couple of companies come out to give me a bid. After a couple of hours of intricately measuring every nook and cranny (complete overkill), they would then offer up a ridiculously overpriced bid, but would give a decent discount if you signed up before end of the day. Even with the discount, it was still massively overpriced. So, I decided to try one more time with Earth Design, and the experience was night and day. Seth was very communicative, set a time to come by my house in Magnolia Park (Burbank) and give me an estimate, show me samples, and eventually set a date for installation. This time, it went like clockwork. The costs were significantly less then the other competitors. The product is fantastic -- my dogs absolutely love it! And the installation was done by a professional and courteous team and finished in less then one day. Thank you to Seth and his team! read more

What a great experience working with the entire team at EarthDesign!!! Such an easy process from the consultation with Seth to the day of installment. Seth was very helpful and knowledgeable. The price was very competitive, as we received other quotes that were much higher. The installation crew arrived on time and finished the job in the same day, complete with clean-up. We are extremely happy with how the project turned out and would highly recommend EarthDesign!!! read more

About two months ago I had various turf companies come out and give us bids for installation as well as the different style of turfs. Then Seth came out and gave us a quote along with showing us a bunch of different style of turfs. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. A couple weeks ago we had the turf installed and his team did an awesome job with the installation, we are extremely happy with our new front yard. I highly recommend this company for whatever upgrades you need around your home for turf. read more

We recently decided to put turf in our backyard. We contacted Seth with Earth Design based on our neighbors recommendation and I couldn't be happier with the job they did. Seth was able to come give us a quote within a few days and we saw samples of turf. Earth Design has the best looking turf of all that we looked at and at a great price. Once we decided to go forward it was such an easy process his guys were on time, did a great job and cleaned up before they left making sure the sprinklers were adjusted and everything was right. It was such an easy project I highly recommend them. read more

I was referred by the main website Synlawn to call this company concerning DIY materials for a artificial lawn I wanted to install. Gave this company a call Seth eventually called me back during our conversation the phone disconnected. I waited for Seth to call me back he didn't so I called him back. Seth told me that he would need me to text him the details of what I needed and then in the middle of that the phone disconnected again. Seth never called me back I text him the information he requested and he never responded back seems a little weird to me. But from reading the other negative reviews about him kind of makes sense. read more

I actually first met with Seth about a year ago, but I wasn't ready to make the commitment just yet. Fast forward to this past week, and I sent him an email to let him know that I wanted to proceed. He came out to consult with me a second time, and even honored the quote and pricing from last year (which is very reasonable, by the way! Another company had lower-quality samples AND wanted to charge me thousands of dollars more!). We scheduled the Sierra Pro turf installation for my front and backyard for Friday at 7:30am, and sure enough, his team of 10-15 guys showed up right on the dot. They worked nonstop (and efficiently!) all the way until 5:15pm, when everything was complete. I couldn't believe they got it all done in one day, and it was of the highest quality! The caliber of their work is unparalleled. They hauled away bricks, dirt, weeds, installed wood barriers, and flattened out a VERY bumpy landscape--it's truly unreal. My yard has been transformed into the envy of the block. I hardly even recognize it because it was such a mess before. And I've already noticed neighbors walking their dogs past my house, bending over to touch the turf because it looks so real. This was such a good investment, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. read more

We are a Design/Build Landscape firm and haven't installed real grass in years. The turf from Earth Design is the BEST product out there yet they keep coming out with better and better product. Seth has always made our firm look great and after tens of thousands of square feet of turf installation everything has been terrific! I'm telling my clients that one day soon we may all be told we can't water lawns anymore. Earth Design turf quality and the crew's installation techniques are first rate. And of course a well designed installation can look so natural that we use them between flagstone, up against the pool coping, kids playgrounds, parkways, shady areas and expansive lawns with great success. Saving water, always looking beautiful - NOT fake grass but GENUINE artificial turf!!! Best Regards, Greg Davis read more

We have a backyard project (turf, concrete, fence, bbq buildout) that started in 8/21 and was targeted to finish 9/24/21. Not bad right. The project is still ongoing with no clear end in sight. Despite my issues with my GC (general contractor) Seth from Earth Design was super flexible with our 6 turf install delays. When it was go time, he had his crew here and they finished the job quickly and we'll. This company also offers the best guarantee/warranty among the 2 other companies I called. Thanks Seth and Earth Design Turf. read more

We are beyond thrilled with the service (Seth is the best), the quality of the work (how many companies do you know that will warranty their work for 15 years), the product (Rhino Turf Sierra Ultra) and the professionalism of the 10+ workers who promptly descended on our property who worked non-stop until every last drop of dirt was cleaned up! I'm happy to show off our yard.... just ask Seth for our address and you can drive-by & see it for yourself. Worth every penny!!! read more

Out of all the other companies I interviewed, Seth with Earth Designs was the most prepared, had the most samples, and seemed the most confident when it came to making sure our project turned out amazing. We installed over 1200 sq feet of turf. The area was very uneven and I was very concerned, that the turf would not be level. Seth assured me that they can make everything level and that it's going to look perfect. They also were the only company that said they could do the job in one day, which they did. They brought in 10 guys and it was amazing to watch them conquer the job. I'm over satisfied with the way everything looks and highly recommend them. Thanks Seth!! read more

I'll keep it short and sweet- Seth was very helpful and straightforward on our initial meeting, and I found the Rhinoturf he uses to be the most realistic looking artificial grass I could find. Two days after our initial meeting, he sent me an email quote with the prices we had discussed ( I.e. no surprises). 2-3 weeks later (could've been earlier, but I wanted to do it on a weekend) his crew came in and did an amazing job. 800 sq ft job took about 6 hrs. It was professionally done and the clean up was impeccable. Seth delivered exactly what he said he would, on schedule, on budget, and with no surprises. Great experience! read more

Really great representation made the process pretty easy to choose to go with Earth Design. We shopped around to make sure we were getting what we wanted as we have two big dogs that must be able to run around the new turf yard. Seth our sales rep was very thorough and explained all the types of turf they offer and what was most recommended for the pets and high durability. The selection and showroom was really great. Pricing was very competitive and the installation wait time was exactly what we needed, right away! Many others were 4-6 weeks wait and that simply wasn't going to work for us. The installers were also super great. They knocked out the whole yard in 1 day! They were super professional, clean and did such a good job! I'd recommend Earth Design to anyone looking for a great value, amazing overall process and reputable turf company. read more

I used Earth Design to remove the grass in my parkway with decomposed granite and replace the grass in my backyard with synthetic turf. The entire experience was reliable and professional. Seth spent time reviewing our property and needs before giving us a fair proposal. The large crew that came was prompt, quick and professional. They got the whole thing done in two days. It happened to rain the next day for a few days straight and the team just came back to refresh the decomposed granite and turf without me having to ask. I highly recommend this business. read more

I chose Earth Design because Seth seemed honest and we agreed on the price and scheduled an installation time. The day that crew arrived and started working there was no supervision nor was easy to communicate with the crew, because I asked them to be mindful of the swimming pool but our pool was dirty and muddy. I asked Seth if he would send a pool person to clean our pool and he said they are not responsible. After a month of installation natural grass was Growing out from all over and again Seth was not happy when I brought to his attention. It is amazing that after all the problem I had with this installation the company didn't bother to send a responsible person to check the turf. I am afraid their installation and turf guarantees must be resolved in court of law because I doubt they honor their words or their writing. Good luck if you choose them read more

Seth and his crew did a great job on my backyard. Seth was very prompt showing up. He also was fast on sending the quote. His crew was very professional and polite.

I hardly ever write reviews (maybe 2 others ever in my life), but I had to do it for Seth at Earth Design. He is an absolute dream to work with and his crews are fast, efficient, clean, and take great pride in their work. Seth showed me about 10-12 different samples and had great design advice as well.

We found Earth Design on Angie's List, and we contacted Seth to schedule a consultation. He arrived onetime and with plenty of samples and ideas. I was so impressed by his approach to a difficult and rather small area - smaller than they usually install. This was not a problem - we agreed on a fair price and Seth was able to have the install done that very Friday! The install crew arrived promptly and I couldn't believe how quickly the multi-step process of transforming our yard was underway. My questions were addressed each step of the way and the whole job took under 5 hours to complete. We love our new lawn (as do our dogs) and couldn't be happier with our decision to "go synthetic" and to go with Earth Design. read more

I couldn't be happier with the service I got from Earth Design. They gave me the lowest estimate, had the nicest grass, and were a pleasure to work with from start to finish.

Just look at my photos!! I finally have a yard I love and that my kid and dogs can enjoy. read more
