WOW....need I say more

Few companies compare to the outstanding customer service that Eric and his team showed me. One statement sums it up " Top Notch". I had an issue where a small bathroom window had melted a small spot in my gorgeous turf. Needless to say I was devastated but Eric and his team came out and fixed it as well as remedied to window issue so I will never have that issue again. I am beyond excited and am one happy client. JG excels in Customer Service!!!!! They are the best

I had to re-sod my yard twice in two years but it just wouldn't take. Finally decided to get artificial turf and received 8 bids. Craig was the last to give me an estimate and it was the lowest one with a contractor's license. We signed the contract last Friday and Eric and his crew came Tuesday and got it done! I'm so pleased - my yard finally looks great. I've already scheduled them for maintenance.

This is the retaining wall that was built in just a few days!

Punctual and respectful workers with integrity. I'm really pleased with my 61FT retaining wall that was constructed within a matter of days! This is an excellent start to my backyard and I would definitely recommend JG! I will be contacting this company again when I figure out the design of where my turf will go. I've gained about 180 SQFTin my backyard! Thanks so much!

Such a happy pup now!

I just completed another terrific project with JG Lawns at my Grandma's house. Her yard had been torn up from sewer line repairs and looked horrendous. I contacted Craig at JG, and he came out promptly and we designed a plan for the yard. Grandma happily picked out the turf herself but was a little bit sticker shocked with the estimate price. She's loved my yard since I got it done, and I told her JG uses quality materials and has terrific install. But she still was concerned over the price, so I contacted another quality competitor my friend had used for her yard get another quote. That quote came in over $5000 higher for nearly the same scope of work and same quality turf! Grandma and I happily decided to go with JG. The project included the demo of 3 large planters with huge dead bushes, using the leftover brick to tidy up the front planter boxes, as well as hauling away a lot of dirt and rocks that had been left over from the excavation. I also opted to get the backyard done as well as it needed to be spruced up. JG does things right, they dig 4 inches below, use decomposed granite, and finalize with zeolite to keep the yard fresh from pet waste smells. Jesus was our project lead and my grandma was so impressed with him and his team. At over 90 years old, she seen a lot in her life, but she said that Jesus and his team were the hardest workers that she has ever seen. The project took three days and Jesus came back that Saturday to finalize some brickwork, and he even went above and beyond fixing a broken irrigation line that was not in the scope and was in a completely different planter outside of the project! Everyone on the JG team was courteous and respectful. We are thrilled with the results! It adds a lot of value to the house and we have the best looking lawn on the block.

Detail work around existing boulders

This is the third project we've worked with JG Turf on, and we truly couldn't be happier with the quality of work, timeliness, awesome customer service, all-around hard work, and results. Wow. Absolutely top-notch work by Eric & Craig and their team. Our showstopper, low-maintenance yard is now a reality, thanks to them. They took so much care and attention to detail throughout the installation. We especially appreciate the undulations around the boulders and on the edges. An amazing group of guys. Highly recommend!

New patio and turf

I cannot say enough good things about JG. They created a beautiful backyard for us in a timely fashion. If any hiccups arose, they handled them for us professionally and promptly. We will definitely be using JG for our future yard needs.

They did a wonderful job! Fast, clean and affordable! Highly recommend them! Second time using JG Lawns. They also installed pavers!

After
Tammie W.

I would highly recommend contacting JG Lawns for your landscaping needs. We received several different quotes to tear out, level, apply a weed barrier, turf, and lay down gravel in our front yard. JG was extremely responsive, reasonably priced, and completed the job in two full days. They were on time, clean, gave updates throughout the project, and were respectful. In the end, they not only gave us hours back in our weekend of not having to pull weeds, but a sense of pride by not having the gnarliest lawn on the block. Thanks JG and we'll be in touch for the backyard!

Finished job (ours is on the right side) rocks, turf and pavers.

See all

Ask the Community - JG Lawns Turf

Would they deliver and install rocks for a 34'x8' planter? I'm looking to put bark rock, about 2 yards.

Probably! Depends on location and how heavy it is. Otherwise you can just order from the site and choose a delivery option. They also have discounts with certain landscaping sites so ask them about that

Do they fix the problems with existing turf? Specifically problems with gophers burrowing under and tree root growth?

Same question.

Do you repair/service drip sprinkler systems?

Sorry don’t offer irrigation work unless it’s in conjunction with a turf installation project.

How much to remove 5000 square feet of grass?

Send us your number and will have someone contact you.

Are you also serving Chula Vista area?

We interviewed three companies and ultimately chose Villanuevas Landscape for two main reasons. First, the owner, Andres, personally came to our home to assess the scope of the project and address our questions about adding gopher wire under the sod to mitigate the gopher issue. Second, his pricing was very reasonable compared to the other estimates we received. The entire project was completed in just two days. Andres actively managed the project from start to finish, and his crew worked efficiently while paying close attention to detail. They were respectful of our property throughout the process and made sure the work area was clean at the end of each day. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Villanuevas Landscape to anyone looking for quality landscaping work. We'll definitely be using them again for future projects!

CAPTAIN 619 & THE GENERAL "THIS ARTIFICIAL GRASS?…read moreFUGGEDABOUTIT - THEY RUN THE TURF GAME." Me and The General paid a little visit to SD Turf Center this week, and let's just say... if artificial grass was a racket, these folks would be the Godfathers. Family-run? You bet. The young lady at the front office? Sharp as a switchblade. She walked us through every blade, every texture, like she was teaching a masterclass in "How to Make Your Yard Look Like a Million Bucks Without the Drama." The Breakdown: - Samples for Days: They sent us home with a box of turf swatches - real grass who? The General's already planning a backyard that'll make the neighbors' lawns look like last week's garbage. - No Nonsense, All Love: You can smell the family pride in the air. The pops was out back trimming samples himself - that's loyalty. - Turf 101: They schooled us on drainage, UV resistance, and pile height like they were reciting the family creed. The General muttered, "These folks know turf like I know revenge," and she ain't wrong. Why They're Top Dogs: - Customer Service Smooth as Silk: No pressure, just respect. They treated us like famiglia, not marks. - Labor of Love: You don't fake this kinda passion. They're not selling grass - they're selling a legacy. Final Word: If you want a yard that'll make Tony Soprano tip his hat, SD Turf Center's your final stop. The General's already earmarked their "Plush Premium" turf for our bocce court. Me? I'm just here to say: this family's got the turf game on lock. - Captain 619 (& The General, who's now taking "lawn enforcement" VERY literally). P.S. Tell 'em we sent you.

Aaron was our sales contact, and he answered all my questions before I signed which made us feel good about using them and had some good suggestions. Their model of doing whatever we need and mixing with what other contractors we use is great; we for example purchased a quartzite slab for the kitchen and Rock N Block did the rest. The prices were very reasonable as well, and looking at the end product I think it was a great deal. The rest of the team, Alexis and Jose, did a great job keeping us updated and keeping our property clean. I'm not sure who the guys were that did the counter build, I think it was someone and his two adult kids, but they did an incredible job and it seemed like they took the time to do quality work. The rest of the project ran into some difficulty with the electrical hookup and gas move, but Jose still got the work done on time and worked well with our countertop fabricator to coordinate what they needed and when to install Overall went really well and would recommend them for any sort of hardscape project.

The entire process was organized and professional. Scheduling was proactive, communication was clear, and the timeline and cost estimate were accurate. The crew consistently arrived on time and worked hard every day. Our project manager was responsive, helpful, and easy to work with throughout the project.

We are very happy with the result and would absolutely recommend Rock N Block to anyone looking for quality hardscape work.

BUYER BEWARE. This company is not what it appears to be. I…read moream quite certain that it is actually a company that publicly ONLY advertises and markets services. It actually does NONE of the work. The work is done, as far as I can tell, COMPLETELY by subcontractors. My initial experience was with Rich, a very friendly and smooth talking sales person who represented himself as an owner of Eco Turf/ Pavers - Hardscape. He referred to his crews and foremen. Only later did I learn that they were actually crews from companies that were subcontracted out. I never received a formal written estimate from the Eco Turf/ Pavers - Hardscape, or even a final written receipt upon payment. OK, that's for the highly deceptive side of the business. The job I hired them for was hardscape and concrete stain and sealing. It took three months to complete about four days of actual work. Every time Rich gave me a start time for "his men", something ultimately pushed it back another week or so. It's obvious now why, it wasn't even his company doing the work. In fact, I think I physically saw Rich a total of two or three times including the initial meeting. Material orders were not placed timely, when items were back ordered from one supplier, there was no attempt to locate the materials elsewhere. Coordination was haphazard and details were constantly slipping through the cracks. Thinking that Rich from Eco Turf/ Pavers - Hardscape- was the company actually doing the work, all I kept getting were excuses and more bullshit. After three months of total frustration, I was told that I could make my actual payment to the company that was finishing the work that day, as a convenience to me! Beyond my dissatisfaction with the job was the fact that I had been experiencing such highly misleading and deceptive communication xfrom the beginning. Not only does this company NOT deserve a solid review, it doesn't deserve the public trust. Look elsewhere.
