    New Patio
    Laurie C.

    We recommend Silva Contractors for your patio work. From the beginning they were very responsive to meeting with us, discussing our vision, and implementing our plans. We had an old blue stone patio that we wanted removed so we could create a new patio with areas for planting and a fire pit. We also wanted to make the new patio level with our driveway, address drainage issues, and retain access to a clean-out that was located under the step that leads from our back door. Paulo Silva, our project manager, assured us that everything would be done to code and all our requests would be met. The project would be done on time and on budget. No additional surprises. The team of workers were amazingly efficient. The existing patio was removed in one day and the old stone was stacked neatly away. Each day the crew cleaned up and left the yard neatly accessible. Our new patio is beautiful and I love the color. We love sitting in the sun having our coffee. We love looking at the plants that we put in. Paulo even added a water faucet near the flower bed to make it easy to water. The fire pit is so cozy to sit around as the evenings cool. My mother who is wheelchair bound can easily access our patio. He replaced the existing step leading out of our house and now it is more attractive and inviting. It has been raining heavily now and we have no standing water on our new paver patio just as they assured us. They finished the project within the time frame they promised and there were no unexpected increases. We are so pleased that we picked Silva Contractors for our patio project.

    We had paver installed on the side of the house. Rick and his team we're very professional. Very accommodating to my family. Our neighbors were so happy with the work. They wanted their contact information.

    We worked with Silva last month to remodel our backyard and couldn't be more happy with the process, staff and results! From the moment we met Paulo and Pablo we knew it would be a great fit. They quoted within 24 hours, great pricing, and were able to start within 10 days. The process took less then 2 weeks and we were impressed by their communication throughout the process. All of the on site workers were professional and talented! They did the removal/demo of the fence, deck and most importantly concrete around the pool. They then put in pavers, lawn/sprinklers, lighting and fence. Couldn't be happier!!! We will definitely be using Silva Contractors again in the near future!

    Worked with Silva contractors on a driveway replacement, steps and a path (all pavers). Paulo came out twice to quote the project based on changes I requested (added some sq/footage). Was very easy to work with a the most responsive of the vendors I talked to. The quote was affordable and competitively priced. Project went really smooth - brought a large crew in for demo day and couldn't believe how quickly they got the old concrete out of there. From there a smaller crew prepped the site and laid the pavers over the next few days. All looked great but there was a fence post that got damaged as it was supported by the old concrete. Fortunately Paulo sent over someone who put in a new post (stronger than the old one) at no additional cost. Overall I wish we'd done this project a while back - it looks so good. Would definitely work with them again.

    Great to work with and hard working crew. Job was some earthmoving to fill in a ditch and landscape. Rick Silva was really responsive, came out and gave me a reasonable estimate and timeframe. They scheduled it in quickly and had a short form contract to keep things professional. Junior Silva came out on the day scheduled to manage the job and had things under control with a good group. Job took two days as predicted and to keep to time Junior increased the crew on the second day. They leveled things off and did a good clean-up including any dirt on the sidewalk and road. Definitely would recommend.

    synthetic turf & white gravel
    Zel B.

    My husband & I have been wanting to redo our driveway and also add an additional RV driveway to our front yard. Silva Contractors was very responsive when we reached out to them (same day). We worked with Rodrigo as our point of contact, and he had open lines of communication throughout the whole process. They also did our front landscaping & side yard. There was a delay getting the synthetic turf from their supplier, but they still managed to finish the entire 3,000+ sq.ft. job within the promised time! The crew runs a tight ship with their entire operation. Many neighbors have stopped to admire their work, and give us compliments. I can't recommend them enough!

    a backyard with a pool and patio
    John K.

    Silva Contractors really went above and beyond my expectations. Starting from initial call, Rodrigo was very responsive, came out to discuss the project and measure everything, and provided the detailed quote within a few days. What's even more impressive was that he committed to start the project almost immediately - and did! It was a full backyard remodel and a large project. I expected it to take at least two months, but Silva completed the entire project in just three weeks - and all to our utmost satisfaction. Everything was done with great detail and care, and all of our requests were exceeded. Even Mr. Silva came by regularly to check on the progress and making sure that we were completely satisfied. These guys are true professionals and highly recommended.

    Silva contractors finished an amazing job for my backyard in less than 5 days. I'm so happy with their details orientation and professional work.

    Added paver base and ready for paver installation
    Saif H.

    Creating a garden waking path was our dream. After getting quotes from multiple contractors, we find Silva Contractors to be the best in terms of deals. They defined project to be 4 days in length, which actually took 4 days spanning over 10 day period. Guys were professional, easy to deal with and their work was perfect. They made sure to deliver quality they promised. They delivered the exact same pavers in look and feel as we initially pointed out in their catalogue. I asked them some favors along the way for paver extension around water tap which they happily did at no extra cost. I would definitely recommend to take a look at deal they offer and I will rehire them for my future projects.

    After consulting many contractors, we finally decided SCI to do the huge project on our backyard. Jorge Betincort,the operation manager and sale representative of this project did an amazing job overseeing his crew on site every day ,making sure everything goes well as planned.He didn't disappoint. The three brothers who were installers were very professional and easy to deal with regards to some changes and corrections/ suggestions I wanted. We are very happy and satisfied with the outcome!... they finished the job on time! Highly recommended!

    Original Yard with Deck & Lawn (which died)
    Drake Bear S.

    Four companies came out to estimate the work I wanted done, which was replacing my wood deck that was beginning to rot and finding a solution for my lawn that had died. None, except Silva, even bothered to return a quote. Silva Contractors was the only company that said "We want your business" and returned a quote right away. They began work very soon after they got the materials and the crews were on site every day for 3 weeks (including a couple of Saturdays). I am so happy with the finished result. Silva Contractors is run like a family-owned and operated business. The guys were all very friendly. I am a perfectionist so I did made some requests for changes along the way. The workers were always very respectful and eager to make sure I was happy with the final results. Many of my neighbors have requested a "tour" of the back and I am happy to show them. I have been recommending Silva to others that are looking for landscape/hardscape work. My personal sales and project leaders were Paulo & Pablo Moreira. They can be reached at 510-275-3329.

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." :))

    I had been planning to get turf for a while and created a project in yelp to get quotes. I got 4…read morequotes total and Turf World was the best fit for our budget. We wanted a low cost but good installation for our dogs who would be constantly on it. They came out the next day to provide a quote. They were the only team to give a quote on the spot and correctly measure our yard. They also were the only team that wouldn't charge us extra for our weird shape/unused turf. There was an option for gopher wire, we declined but nice to know it was an option. All quotes were in the range of $12-$18 per sq ft. I signed the quote easily through their tracking system and communicated with Jason via yelp messenger. One week later, they came out and did the install from 8am-2pm and as promised, they cleaned everything and even fixed some wire plant fencing the dogs messed up. They had asked me about water lines but I wasn't sure and they ended up accidentally punching a nail into one. They very quickly patched it up and continued on. That is totally my bad for not knowing, they informed me immediately, and they were very professional about the mishap. Payment was easy through their payment portal and a text came with the link to pay just as the team finished their work. We are so happy with the finished product and couldn't be happier with the quality of the team. The efficiency was unreal. We thought this would be a much longer project but 1 week later, here we are! Bonus: some things we learned about turf - turf comes in 15ft wide rolls which determines if you'll have seams - most installers are using the same turf and they all cost the same price - larger installer companies will charge you more because they outsource to smaller and medium sized companies like Turf World so you might as well go right to the source. - whoever you get to install can recommend the best type of turf for your use case (ours was need for lasting turf for dogs) - there are layers to turf, not just the grass on top so the cost includes gravel, sand, siding, staples, weed tarp, hauling away dirt, etc. you can't just roll out turf you buy yourself and have the same result. - the reason for the layers is partly because of drainage, you don't want soggy turf! If you look at the underside of the turf, you can see the drainage holes and depending on what you want, you may want a turf with more drainage holes.

I initially reached out to get a price quote on my backyard after we removed all of our trees. I am trying to turn my back yard into a space I want to be comfortable in (like most everyone else.) Jason initially reached out to us and offered to come take a look at our yard the very next day. He arrived promptly and was so personable and offered his expert opinion and recommendations. My main concern was having turf that looked like grass to me but would also maintain well against my pets and he delivered and helped us pick the grass that would best fit our needs. I also loved that he made design recommendations that would work well for our yard. His team did a fantastic job even went above and beyond to fix a broken latch on our gate. I was not expecting that. My husband can't stop going into our backyard because he enjoys it so much. March 08, 2026: Turns out I never posted my initial review and wanted to continue the conversation now a few months later. The yard is absolutely FANTASTIC! The grass looks beautiful and Jasons team did end up coming out in January to put up plants and decorative rocks. Everything is beautiful! Honestly I wake up early just so I can sit outside and eat my breakfast in my yard and my husband has to ask me to come back in. My husband and I have already decided that when we are ready to do our front yard we will be reaching out back to Jason. 100% would recommend this company.

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.
