I'm a year and a half in and we love our turf and tell everyone we know about this spot. It looks…read moreso real, it doesn't feel real, but it's for sure gentle on the feet. I requested a quote and the biz came back quickly giving us directions to the warehouse for more info or a # to call. No fancy office here, just a warehouse. The guy was so helpful and very clear and transparent which is always appreciated. We had our landscaper put it in vs going with their crew for price purposes. You can purchase from them with or without install although their guarantee doesn't accommodate you (or very limited) without their install services. We legit went to 5-6 different turf spots for samples and this was one of the more expensive options, but it blew the competition outta the water. It's by far the most realistic looking/luxurious turf. Thanks to Yelp for helping us find this gem!

We love our SYNLawn Synblue 745 lawn…read more Billy and Lou went going above and beyond in answering all my questions, coordinating with other warehouses so I could see samples in person while traveling (since they don't have local offices in the Bay Area, only Sacramento), and really diving in deep as I was analyzing every single detail + pros/cons of all the different turf lines as I was making my decision. Everyone was so patient and great. I probably called and talked to them at least 10+ times, Lou even answered my call while on vacation in Mexico! We only bought the turf and infill and used our own contractor to install in Oakland. However, I did about 6-12 months of research and sample gathering across many different turf companies and suppliers (WaterSavers, TigerTurf, SGS in LA, Heavenly Greens, BeeGreen, etc.) and SYNLawn's quality was consistently superior while also providing the most natural look. We also were considering the previous SynBlue 949 (which is no longer being manufactured) as it doesn't seem to require infill and many past customers in our area are extremely happy with it. It's super lush and felt very nice but has more of a yellowish hue when side-by-side with SynBlue 745. We also wanted to compare but weren't able to get a sample of the 545, but ultimately felt good about going with the higher density and face weight of the 745. Unfortunately, Yelp posted my pics in random order but you can see the general before and after. We're so thankful to have a wonderful place space for our kids, and to have found SYNLawn when we did (it was the last turf company I researched after someone recommended them from a neighborhood FB group). OTHER FINALISTS My other finalists were either Dune/Sage from SGS or an unidentified sample from Heavenly Greens. SGS to their credit was honest that those lines were meant for landscaping and may get matted down or have breakage over time with heavy play usage. We didn't enjoy the sales reps from Heavenly Greens and were unfortunately never able to narrow down the name of the sample we liked from them (there were no tags attached). Our neighbors installed Willow from WaterSavers, but it was not as plush or thick underfoot as the SynBlue 745, and not as natural in appearance. Overall, we're thrilled with our decision and hope this long overdue review helps someone else! (Our kids now use the other turf samples as "plates" on the turf when they play "restaurant." :))

Marco truly brought my backyard dreams to life and made the absolute most of my space. From the…read morebeginning, he offered thoughtful, creative suggestions that elevated the entire design beyond what I had imagined. He was also extremely professional and communicative throughout the entire process, which made everything smooth and stress free. His crew was incredibly hardworking, detail-oriented, and efficient throughout the entire process. It was clear they took pride in their work, and the results speak for themselves. I couldn't recommend Signature Landscapes more highly and am already looking forward to working with Marco again for any future landscaping projects.

Marco, Arturo and their team at Signature Landscape are fantastic. They did a major hardscape…read morebackyard project for me in early 2025. It involved a lot of earth and rock-moving, terracing, new Trex decks and balconies, stairs, stone pavers, stone walls, other retaining walls, replacing a rotted side fence, etc, etc. I still feel extremely fortunate to have found Marco to do this job! He has the rare combination (in my experience) of both excellent expertise in his field, a creative-artistic thinker, while also being a genuinely humble, kind and honest person. And he is an excellent communicator -- although obviously a very busy guy. His team was extremely hard-working, very pleasant and they cleaned up at the end of each day. Needless to say, I would hire Marco and his team again if/when I have another construction project. And I strongly recommend him to others interested in any type of hardscape project, no matter how small or big!

Just amazed at how great a job Eduardo and his crew did for us... couldn't ask for anything more!…read more Right from the beginning, he set himself apart by quickly responding to my inquiry for an estimate - he was friendly, arrived when he said he would, provided ample information and made sure I didn't have any more questions about the process or his very reasonable and fair bid before he left. When work commenced, he was communicative and let me know what to expect along the way, and was true to his word that things would be cleaned up daily (my side yard, through which equipment and product were brought to the back, actually looked far better than it did before work started). As to the final product, my wife and I are thrilled. It looks great, and we (dogs and daughter included) couldn't be happier with it. If you're looking for a turf install, you simply can't go wrong with Eduardo - a stand-up guy who does quality work at a great price. So glad we did this...

I contacted Eduardo last year, but was intimidated by the cost and enormity of the project…read more After considering other options and artificial turf providers, we decided to go with Mr Green Turf. I spoke with Eduardo about what we wanted done (updated some of the things we wanted done from last year), and came to an agreement on price pretty easily. He began work the following week, even though I was flexible with timing. Eduardo was a great and personable guy even before making the agreement. His workers were also diligent and the kids like hanging out with them too. Every day was a huge change and all of us are very happy with the end result. A simple, beautiful, no maintenance backyard is just what we wanted, and thanks to Eduardo and his guys, is here. After seeing my father in a wheelchair, he offered to build a ramp for us to for easier accessibility. This is also something we have been considering for a while. Seems like he and his guys can do just about any job!

D Garcia Landscaping completed a large fence project for us and we are extremely happy with the…read moreresults! This was a technically challenging project involving a steep hill and very mature redwood roots. Standout qualities of this company are: 1. Ease of quoting process Before coming out in person, they were able to give us a ballpark price based on dimensions, fence type, and site images. This allowed me to decide whether to move forward and I thought this was really respectful of my time. Then, Dago, the owner, came for the site visit and to discuss details. 2. No bait and switch In ironing out the details, there was some miscommunication about whether staining was included. Dago was able to meet us halfway with the price increase. This honest business style continued throughout the project and no change orders or unexpected price increases happened. 3. Detail oriented Throughout the project, we discussed details such as fence posts placement relative to tree roots, post height, etc. Dago was both available in person and by email via his assistant Maria. It was also nice to have responses confirmed in writing so that things were clear and there would be no bait and switch. 4. Personality Dago is a really nice person and I enjoy speaking with his about his geriatric dogs, etc. This also helped me not feel anxious about the project, because I felt that I could trust him. For this fence, we received multiple quotes. Two companies were in the $9-10K range, another was around $12K, and an outlier was above $20K. Dago's price was the lowest quote (with minute differences in material) and we are very glad we went with him!

Recently, we had them to a full conversion/remodel of our backyard from awful weeds to nice natural grass, with an irrigation system, mulch, and tasteful plants. I was amazed with both how well it came out, and how affordable the project was! I would HIGHLY recommend using Dago Garcia's team for either regular yard maintenance, or any yard project you have in mind. Dago has decades of experience and knows exactly what he is doing- he is super friendly and helped us with great ideas. Give Dago a call!

From the very beginning, Pete and Mike took their time with us. They explained everything slowly, clearly and with so much patience. They guided us through every option and helped us figure out what would look best in our space. You can tell they truly cares about the homes they works on. Then there's Roman, the big guy with the gentlest heart. He supervised the team like a true leader, calm and steady, but always smiling. And the patience... my gosh. We changed our minds so many times and he never once made us feel bad. Instead he'd say, "No problem, we can adjust," and he meant it. His kindness really stood out to us. And their whole team? Just amazing. Respectful, hardworking, focused and so easy to talk to. They showed up almost every day ready to work and every detail they touched was done with intention and care. Our favorite part of the project is definitely the side yard. They turned it into a beautiful, peaceful walkway that honestly looks like something from a resort. The curves, the turf, the pavers, the white stones, everything blends so perfectly. We walk through it every day and still say, "Wow, this is ours!" But everything else follows closely behind: * the big, clean paver patio * the stepping stones on the other side * the round stone patio with the raised planter wall (SO beautiful!) * the roses, trees and all the plants that made the yard come alive * the way they leveled, shaped and finished every inch with so much pride What touched us the most was how much we enjoyed having them around. We joked at the end that we needed to tell them even more changes just so they would have more time here with us that's how comfortable and happy we were with them. We are truly grateful for the work they did. ConstruArt has a special team with good hearts and it shows in the results. Our yard is now one of our favorite places in our home, and it's all because of them. Highly, highly recommend. If you want people who care, who listen, who treat your home like their own and who will be patient with all your ideas and changes, look no further. ConstruArt will take care of you.

Called the office and Adam came out a couple of days later to inspect our lawn and give us a quote. After talking to a few other local vendors, we decided to go with FENIX and we are really pleased we did. Adam, Kimberley and Erica communicated really well and answered any question we had about the entire process. They provided us with a few turf samples as well as an extensive list of referral addresses we could use to inspect their craftsmanship and the quality of the installed turf product. When the day to start the project arrived, Dylan and the large crew arrived right on time as arranged and immediately got to work. They were very professional and skilled. They were able to complete the entire project in one day and cleaned up the "worksite" nicely. We are extremely happy with the entire process from start to finish and would use them again if needed and would highly recommend them if you were considering installing artificial turf for your landscaping project. Not only was the craftsmanship top notch, the value was exceptional as FENIX provided us with the lowest price of all the quotes we received.

After getting multiple quotes, Vitoria stood out immediately for their professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to come out more than once to walk the site, discuss ideas, and thoughtfully plan the project before we ever committed. Their pricing was fair and competitive, and their approach gave us confidence from day one. They have been truly exceptional to work with throughout the entire process. As our plans evolved (as they often do on a project of this scale) Vitoria was flexible and transparent, providing quick, clear pricing for adjustments and options that helped us stay comfortably within budget. Any unexpected issues or small mistakes that came up were handled immediately and corrected without hesitation, additional cost, or us needing to push. Their team worked incredibly hard and efficiently, often close to seven days a week, to stay ahead of incoming rain so we'd have safe, usable surfaces for walking and parking. The quality of workmanship is excellent, and the attention to detail really shows... especially with the hardscape and driveway lighting they installed, which makes the entire project absolutely pop. Our backyard and driveway are now stunning, and we couldn't be happier. Mike, Flavio, and the entire Vitoria team were competent, hardworking, communicative, and consistently met (and exceeded) our expectations. We loved working with them and would hire Vitoria Pavers again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend.
