So we decided to finally put the finishing touches to our front yard. We debated on whether to put…read morenatural grass or artificial turf, and we decided to go with artificial turf for a couple of reasons: First, we live in CA, and the mismanagement of water resources has caused the price of water to skyrocket. Secondly, a lot of the current turf looks very realistic and resembles natural grass. Third, I wouldn't have to mow the lawn anymore!! We put out the feelers on Sunday night at 8:30 pm, not expecting to get a reply until Monday morning, but Jacob from Verdigrass responded within 10 minutes! I, along with the wife was impressed by the quick response so we scheduled an estimate with Jacob for Wednesday. Jacob was very accommodating with my work schedule and actually came to my house by 8:00 am. Since Jacob was coming from Vallejo, I knew it was a long distance and he would have to leave very early in the morning, so again, we were impressed. My meeting with Jacob went very well. Since this was my first experience with artificial turf, I had a bunch of questions, which Jacob answered fully. It was also very helpful that he had several samples that I could see and feel. After getting my quote, which came in much lower than another company. We decided to go with Verdigrass due to the experience we had thus far with Jacob. Communication with Jacob was stellar, and he was able to schedule the job for Saturday morning. The material was dropped off on Friday, and Jacob's crew, headed by Juan, arrived at 0730 am, a half hour earlier than the 0800 am start Jacob had mentioned. The crew was efficient and highly knowledgeable and had the job done in approximately 5.5 hours! We could not be happier with our experience with Jacob, Juan and Verdigrass. Now we just have to save up enough money to do the backyard!

Exceptional service, knowledge, and support from start to finish!…read more I highly recommend VerdiGrass in Sunnyvale. I reached out to several well-known turf companies with local offices while trying to figure out what turf would be the best fit for our project, and VerdiGrass stood out from the very beginning. When I first walked into their showroom, I had a lot of questions and honestly wasn't sure what type of turf I needed or everything that would go into installing it. The team at VerdiGrass was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. They took the time to understand what I was looking for and walked me through everything--from choosing the right turf and infill to installation, drainage, base preparation, and all the details that can make a difference in the long-term performance of your turf. Jordan was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us get the project right. He took the time to answer all of my questions, explain our options, and help us think through the details rather than simply trying to sell us a product. He is truly a great guy and made the entire process so much easier and less overwhelming. Since I have dogs, I was especially concerned about urine, odors, drainage, and making sure we approached the project correctly from the beginning. Jordan took the time to explain what we needed to do to address those concerns upfront and help us do it right the first time, rather than constantly worrying about odor and maintenance later. It was also great working with Edwin, who was helpful and supportive throughout the process. I really appreciated the entire team's willingness to answer questions and continue providing guidance even after the initial purchase. I also contacted several other well-known turf companies, and VerdiGrass was by far the most helpful, and their pricing was much more competitive. It's rare to find a company that combines this level of knowledge, customer service, responsiveness, and fair pricing. I'm so glad I found VerdiGrass and would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering artificial turf--especially if you have dogs and want to make sure the project is done correctly from the start.

I recently hired FG Pavers for a major project involving a complete storm drainage system, a new…read moreretaining wall, and paver installation. Overall, I am very satisfied with the transformation of my outdoor space. From the start, Hugo was fantastic. He helped me navigate the design phase, offering creative solutions and solid ideas that I hadn't even considered. During construction, Nick was incredibly accommodating. Even though it was clear he had a very busy schedule, he made a point to visit the site daily and was always available to answer my calls, which I really appreciated. The crew themselves were hard workers and clearly skilled in their trade. That said, with a project of this scale, I found that being a highly involved homeowner was necessary. There were a couple of instances where I had to step in to point out issues that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. To their credit, FG Pavers corrected these items immediately once they were raised. I'd recommend them for their craftsmanship and their willingness to make things right.

Bid/Quote: They came, inspected the project site and gave a complete quote including the construction detail. Tiles in an outdoor patio is uncommon, so we had a lot of questions from the grading to rebar to water proofing to sealent to grout. FG answered all the questions and accommodated our requests to align with the tile vendor recommendations. Price competitiveness: We spoke with 4 paver companies. 1 didn't want to do Porcelain tiles+ Paver, 1 didn't meet our budget, job was too small for one. Project Management: regular site visits by the site lead. Eduardo is a gem. They helped us pick the right material, picked up the tiles, did the dry layout and kept us updated on the schedule Work site: Saul and his team were punctual, spotless at the end of workday and walked through every step of the process. They made sure we reviewed the progress and that we approved the changes. We had a couple of last minute changes. Eduardo/Saul accommodated that. Saul is awesome to work with Quality of work: Wife can't stop beaming. I am going to be cashing that check for a while

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.

We had a fantastic experience working with Simon Lee at Black Diamond on our backyard project over…read morethe past month, and we couldn't be happier with the level of service he provided from beginning to end. Our project was fairly extensive -- it included building retaining walls, flattening and creating more usable space in our backyard, and installing paver stones. Simon stood out to us from the very beginning, when we were still meeting with different companies and deciding who to hire. He was never pushy or overly sales-focused. Instead, he took the time to understand what we wanted, walked us through his design proposals, and offered thoughtful recommendations based on his experience. We really liked his ideas and ultimately felt comfortable trusting his expertise and recommendations for the space. That same level of attention continued throughout the entire project. Simon checked in with us every single day and always showed up with a smile and a positive attitude. Whenever he came over to discuss the project or answer questions, he never made us feel rushed. He was always willing to take his time, talk things through, and make sure we were comfortable before moving forward. He was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedules, which we really appreciated. With a project of this size happening in your backyard for several weeks, having a project manager who is accessible, patient, and communicates consistently makes such a huge difference. Simon was quick to respond whenever we had questions and made the whole process feel much easier to navigate. What impressed us most was how he handled the final stretch of the project. During the final inspection, we brought up a few questions and concerns, and there was never any defensiveness or hesitation. Simon listened, took our concerns seriously, and quickly came back with solutions to make sure we were happy with the finished project. That level of accountability and follow-through really reinforced that we had made the right choice. Simon is professional, patient, approachable, responsive, and genuinely seems to care about both his clients and the quality of the finished project. From helping us envision the backyard during the design stage to making sure everything was addressed at the very end, he was there throughout the entire process. We really enjoyed working with Simon and would absolutely recommend asking for Simon Lee if you're considering a project with Black Diamond. Thank you, Simon, for taking such great care of us and helping transform our backyard!

I hired Michael and his team for a large hardscape project. To his credit, he has at times gone…read moreabove and beyond -- for example, hauling away construction debris that wasn't his to keep the site clean. But in general, he has not been able to provide a crew that delivers work matching the quality you'd expect for the price. His crew frequently doesn't show up, and he often doesn't know where they are. When they are on site, they drink alcohol and smoke heavily. One day they appeared to have thrown a party, leaving food and beer bottles scattered across my yard for me to clean up. They've also taken items from the job site belonging to the homeowners and never replaced them. They've made decisions that put people's safety at risk, with no urgency to fix them. The main steps to my yard had to be redone because they were all different sizes and sloping down. Instead of making a plan to ensure a rapid repair, they tore up the stains and left the site a hazard. He then asked for payment for materials and tools to redo his mistakes. Michael doesn't seem to have real control over his crew and only shows up when an issue is escalated or when he needs payment. As homeowners, we shouldn't have to micromanage a contractor this closely just to know what his own crew is doing or when to expect them. On multiple occasions, his crew told him they were on site when they clearly were not. We have cameras. He also asked me to cover the cost of tools he should already have as a professional in this trade -- for instance, a wet stone-cutting tool to control concrete dust and protect his workers from inhaling it. Despite asking multiple times, his crew seemed resentful when I requested wet cuts, even for their safety. At this point, having already been paid roughly 90% of the total cost, it seems he doesn't have the funds left to finish the job and is now stuck. Like other reviewers here, I've been more than patient -- but this project is months overdue and still incomplete.

Their attention to detail was top-tier, and they were always attentive, efficient, and clean.
