"You never know what to expect when you have a huge job at your new house with a team you’ve never worked with before. Well, if your plans include installing artificial turf that looks better than real grass, STOP RIGHT NOW AND HIRE INSTALLARTIFICIAL! Not only were they the most responsive installer I’ve worked with in years, but they went truly above and beyond. My yard is challenging with trees, planters, irrigation, speaker wires, and electrical wires and they protected everything (and often improved on its previous appearance) seamlessly. The finished job is far better than I could have ever imagined, and I actually miss having the crew here in my backyard. Yes, they are that nice, respectful, dedicated, hard-working, and skilled. Literally, if I could give them 100 stars, I would!
And as you can see below, my new dog is a truly happy boy with his new yard!" - Gale H.

"Set up the appointment and they didn't show. I had to take time away from work to be home which was a complete waste of time. I called and spoke to John who was extremely apologetic and polite. His service guy was stuck somewhere else, which happens, but you call the customer to let them know. You don't wait for them to call you. John you're a nice guy, which is why you got 2 stars instead of 1, but you lost a customer." - Tyler B.

This is my second project with Grizzly Turf and once again, they did a phenomenal job!Recent Negative Review:
"Quoted 350 to fix seam and level after plumbing work with 30 ft pipe run. Brittni said didn't need to come out first to estimate. Came out said 900 exhausted dealing with them so said fine
Other side SmartTurf did new astroturf for 2000 so expected perfect. Wound up here less 3 hours still seams. Last year said keep getting clovers Brittni blamed neighbor and refused to ever send anyone. So now we pick clovers" - Rich M.

'We have nothing but great things to say about SmartGrass. We were serviced by Inga Iverson, she is AMAZING. Inga made the process seamless. She came out to us for the initial consultation, followed up via email with extensive information regarding the company, product and warranty, was responsive via text even thru the holidays. You cannot go wrong with this company, just look at the yelp photos, the proof is in the pudding!!!" - Johnny L.Recent Negative Review:
"Horrible response time. Combative when questioned about their ads and its detail or lack of. Good news is - There is plenty of others out there that do this work." - Ryan T.
Background Check (License, Insurance):
Smart Grass does not make its licensing and insurance information easily accessible to potential clients. This could make it difficult for customers to confirm that the company is up to date with certification. We also struggled to find this information on the California Contractors State License Board website, which means Smart Grass may be operating under a DBA.

"Amazing !! Can't tell you enough about how amazing this company is ! We met with Vic to get a quote on artificial turf and driveway stripes . He was able to schedule us in within a week . The team was prompt and worked very efficiently. They were extremely professional and worked continuously and has great attention to detail .Recent Negative Review:
"We were trying to decide between Waterless Turf and another company to install our grass and chose to go with Waterless Turf because of their great reviews. We are now sorry we did because we are are very dissatisfied with the quality of their work. We have a long visible line across our lawn. We asked Vic to have the issued fixed and he said he would but 4 months later he still has not resolved the issue." - R. P.

"I recently used Artificial Grass Solutions and I couldn't be happier with my installation! The team was professional, efficient, and the end result was a beautiful, lush fake grass lawn that requires very little maintenance. I highly recommend Artificial Grass Solutions for anyone looking for a low-maintenance and eco-friendly lawn. I wish I could add 10 stars! Loved the outcome !" - Joe U.Recent Negative Review:
"DIDN'T SHOW FOR APPOINTMENT
I received a phone call from the company and setup an appointment for Saturday Nov 4 2022 at 0845. Originally it was for 9am, I advised the gentleman that I had 3 more companies coming so he stated he could have Chase at my home at 0845. Saturday morning at 0845, 0900, 0930 no Chase. I went back to our messages through yelp and questioned whether we had an appointment and I have yet to receive a response. I did find a great company and the work will be starting soon." - Lisa W.

"The entire BuildCal Turf team were top notch! After doing online research and reading reviews, we gave them a call to gather more information and schedule a consultation. Olivier confirmed what we had learned during our online research. Additionally, he was so very engaged, thorough and forthcoming with information we needed in making our final selection. Once the job began, the crew were so very professional, polite, timely and clean. Now that the job is complete, we are beyond pleased with our choice! Thank you BuildCal Turf!" - Kimberly C.
Recent Negative Review:
"They had to reinstall the turf a few times because it kept wrinkling. Was not a fan of that. However, they did reach out to the manufacturer and got it done finally (after I believe 2 months). I gave them a 4/5 mostly because they solved the problem and actually did what they said they were going to do." - Tro J.

"I couldn't be happier with my new backyard! Ross and his crew at Synthetic Dream Lawns helped me design a beautiful and functional space. The price was reasonable and his team was punctual, hardworking and patient with all my questions!! I highly recommend SDL for all your turf needs. My backyard looks amazing." - Mary J.Recent Negative Review:
"We hired Ross to do our backyard with turf and also the fountain for our pool with the pipes needed. It was very important that we always let him do everything and he would say "trust me and let me do everything". Well we have now waited over 2 months for him to finish this job and we have the fountain just sitting in our backyard. He said he needed a few more days to come back and finish, but now he does not take our calls and I have paid him since we trusted he would finish. I will let you all know if he finishes the job, but I would find another company and stay away." - David W.

"Greenview Turf replaced gravel on our front yard with artificial turf. Albert was easy to work with and understood our concerns. He had great ideas for the project. There were grading issues, but Greenview Turf came through to make our front yard safe for our kids to play on.Recent Negative Review:
"We had scheduled this company to come out. The day of Albert texts to say he was on the way, we waited 2 hours, my husband even rescheduled a meeting for work so that he would be available. Albert never showed up and when we contacted him he said something came up. I get things can happen but I found it very unprofessional that he wouldn't even give us a courtesy call/text to let us know he wouldn't be showing up AFTER he said he was on the way." - Amy S.
