Recent Positive Review:
"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.

"David and the team were amazing. Helped us understand the process, map out our design, and got a quote quickly. The team was able to do the install a week later and complete the whole project in a day. Couldn't be happier that we chose to work with Always Green. Very competitive on price too!" - Greg A.
Recent Negative Review:
"I've spoken to this company two times now. I was so disappointed with the personal questions they asked me. Completely made me feel unsafe and I started thinking twice about having them come to my home. I only realized it's the same company because they started asking the same personal questions. Example: who lives at the home with you?, are you married?
I would NOT recommend this company at all. Big waste of time and there employees are very rude when you don't give them personal information and the conversation just changes. Makes me think if they really are a real company ... humm" - Najmay W.

Jerry came within a hour of calling them and gave us a quote for roughly 3000 sqft of turf, they started work literally next day and finished the whole job in 2 days. We highly recommend them for all your turf needs, they are fast, have great quality and as mentioned before their service is outstanding!" - Talent M.

'Long overdue review for these guys! Had major work done a couple years ago from them, which I was really happy with. Needed some small touch up work this time around, and they were very responsive and reasonable to accommodate my needs. Michael, the project lead who I worked with last time was also the one helping me out this time. Both times extremely professional and knowledgeable. His team was timely, detailed and did good job cleaning afterwards as well. Would recommend!" - Michael C.
Recent Negative Review:
"These guys suck. I had an appointment for a quote on Aug 18 and their rep called just before the time to say they were running late and would I be OK if they came later. I said sure I would be around all day. The rep would let me know. Never Heard from him again! I called the office about a week later to ask what happened as I never heard from this rep again, they were very concerned and would have some one call me. As of today, I have not heard back from anyone. This level of customer service is beyond awful and how they have any stars is beyond me. This product is not cheap to install or buy and this non existent customer service tells me to warn others, buy elsewhere! This place is not worthy of your business, they do not value customers and we customers vote with our pocketbook. BEWARE!" - Leo A.

Recent Positive Review:
"Grizzly Turf did a great job replacing our old putting green in our backyard. The little tweaks here and there were great overall improvements and we’re happy with the end result. The date originally scheduled for the installation (Monday) had to be postponed due to inclement weather; however, we had invited some friends over on the weekend for the green “inauguration” and we were worried that it would not be done on time. But, Grizzly moved things around and they got the work done on Thursday, so the inauguration turned out all right!" - A. M.Recent Negative Review:
"We spent 11 thousand dollars on turf and had an experience of a much cheaper company. I picked Grizzly because they have amazing reviews and were super super professional to start. I had never seen anything like it! II was a little put off that they don’t do permitting for you (my town is ridiculous with permit requirements but fortunately I figured it out). Unfortunately, things went downhill on install day. The crew was late, instructions were not relayed to the install crew, and a huge trailer was left outside of my home overnight without anyone telling me (blocking my access to the garage and my neighbors easy access into their driveway). Supplies were left all over my driveway that I was stuck picking up at night. This was a two day install and day 1 started off badly..." - Tonya C.

Without a doubt one of the best home improvements I have made. Jesse and Fernando's crew were amazing. They removed all of the old grass and leveled off the dirt. Installed the SmartGrass and it looks amazing. I have had it since last year and it's still looking great. My dogs love it. It never smells and makes the dog pick up a snap! Highly recommend!!!" - Judy E.Recent Negative Review:
"They did my backyard 3 years ago and when I had a question about weeds growing around the perimeter of my yard. I called the project manager who did my job and did not get a return call. I waited and then we decided to do our front yard so I called back. Wouldn't you know it he sure did call me back fast. He told me he didn't work this area however he'd pass my information onto the office. Needless to say I didn't hear back from them so I called and the receptionist was completely rude. This was a clear sign but I was willing to overlook it but then when I got my estimate I had to wait on that too. This company is ridiculously unprofessional and doesn't really feel like they want your business. No wonder why Grizzly Turf is getting my business, they earned it." - Lori B.
Background Check (License, Insurance):

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.

They do excellent work for a great price and go above and beyond to not only do a great job but even extra at no cost ! I'm so happy with Ross & the job he and his crew did for us!" - Teresa G.Recent Negative Review:
"Terrible work. Added expenses in hand writing not eligible. Charged me $250 to move a gate and didn't even secure the lower hinge (text me for pics) At $50/hr that's 5 hours. I could have done myself in 2 hours. I could go on. Overcharged. Do your research and get quotes or this business with surprise you with additional cost. Please get quotes!!!!! Also Ross (owner) kept hitting me up for payment before I inspected. Pushed me for payment. I paid him in full. Then after I complained he failed to correct the problem to my liking and never responded back. That's his work. Good luck." - Lawrence P.

Albert and his crew did a great job with our backyard that had a giant pine tree stump and was 1000 sq ft of river rocks with big boulders. They did it all in one day — I couldn’t believe it — perfect because we had just moved in with our 2yo. It was also one of the most reasonably priced." - Nina L.Recent Negative Review:
"Beware. They up-charge on materials and labor quite a bit and then found out they didn't even put gopher wire throughout. Management is nice, but the labor they hire are not professional and did a poor job. When you complain they will just demand more $$ or threaten to tear it up. Turf is coming up in some locations and sunken-in in others. Very poor compaction job, would not recommend." - Melissa R.

Recent Positive Review:
"I work for Peninsula Heritage School and was part of the team who hired South Bay Turf. We received quotes from two companies, and from the start received better customer service and prices with South Bay Turf. The owner is friendly, hands-on, and committed to providing the best quality at a reasonable price. Throughout the project, it was always easy to contact him. He is also extremely knowledgeable about what he does which was helpful because we had some tricky landscaping spots. Now our campus is beautiful and the children love the new spaces to eat, learn, and play!" - Danielle F.Recent Negative Review:
"I was very interested in getting a putting green in my side yard. I have asked this "company" through messaging if they are Licensed and insured. NO response. I looked them up on the CA State License Board and can't find a Company of this name. I finally drove by their location and saw that it was a Auto Body Shop. I don't know what's going on here but I wouldn't trust them. Non responsive and fake address. Too bad because I liked the photos of their putting greens." - Robbert J.
Background Check (License, Insurance):
We are unable to confirm any background information stemming from California licensing. As far as we can tell, South Bay Turf and Putting Greens must be operating under a DBA.
Appearance in Local Search:
South Bay Turf and Putting Greens shows up in local search results on both Yelp, however they do not have a website as far as we can see. This is a big disadvantage. According to their Yelp page this is a fairly new company to the area, but the lack of website doesn't allow us and potential clients to get a feel for who they are. They are put on this list solely for their close proximity and positive Yelp Reviews.
Closing Remarks:
In our opinion, the following companies are not worth including:
- Those with highly paid and aggressive advertising campaigns
- National franchise networks
- Non-specialized general contractors
- Companies that we've heard multiple negative client reviews from personally
Each company featured in this article is listing in a non-numbered fair way to give you the ultimate choice. Review both positive and negative reviews as well as appearance assessments before you make the right decision.
