"Trust the reviews, these guys are great! I had a few estimates for artificial grass but I went with Install Artificial because of their price and the good reviews. John was very responsive during the proposal process, answering my questions and making adjustments. He came to my house to scope out the work and estimated 3 days. Sergei and his team showed up on Day 1 right on time and did the work in 3 days, even accommodating a last-minute request. The guys were very professional and courteous and I am very impressed with the quality of the final product. It's only been a few days but our backyard is so much more inviting now and my kids are loving the putting green. Very happy with my decision to use Install Artificial!" - David R.

"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.

"I have had a thoroughly wonderful experience with OC Turf and Putting Greens for my backyard project.

We live in Yorba Linda and have a 600sq foot rectangular patch of lawn in our backyard that I wanted to convert to turf and putting green. We have a dog, and her urine was causing the grass to turn yellow in patches. We were also spending a lot of money on watering the lawn to keep it green, mowing it, etc. Overall, the lawn was not used much because of the poor condition from the combination of our dog and the dry weather/little rain.

So we decided to convert it to a more usable space, and put in a putting green for the whole family to enjoy. I shopped around with most of the more reputable OC area turf companies, including Grizzly Turf, Cal Art Turf, and Synthetic Grass Warehouse. I got quotes from these other places, and OC Turf had by far the most professional consultation, and a very competitive price. I had originally found OC Turf from a recommendation by a friend who had his whole backyard done with them, and I verified that they were well-reviewed online. I am glad I went with them!" - Bob Y.

"Install good, Emily not good.

Our turf was excellently installed, done on time, looks beautiful. Pricey, but we thought we were getting a good product. Turns out the turf can burn based on its proximity to window and nobody told us that until after it was installed. 17 years in the business Emily said she forgot to mention this caveat to us. Does not meet expectations for a highly rated company.

Had we known this detail in advance, our decision-making would have been different. We would have been OK if OC compensated us for this mistake, but they didn't budge.

My wife was so pissed. Me too because it was a big spend & we had many other options. Now we have grass that burns. I wish the check we gave them would burn." - Andy F.

Recent Positive Review:

"Grizzly Turf met and consistently exceeded our expectations. From the office staff, the turf specialists, and the owner himself. I was lucky to have Conner come out and quote our backyard project. He was on time, polite, and well-informed on turf features and the process they use to install them. We also wanted pavers to replace old brick and create a nice walkway in our backyard. This was no problem and was done perfectly by the Grizzly team. The staff was always responsive and the owner, Lucas, stopped by often to make sure all was well and that any questions were answered. They were competitive in price when you factor in what they offer and the quality. They were also more flexible than others and every phase was completed sooner than I thought. My wife and I are absolutely thrilled with our new backyard and could not be more impressed by the folks at Grizzly. I would/will recommend them to all friends/family interested." - Tyler C.

"The quality is not good no UV protection, the turf burnt after 3 weeks of installation. After long negotiations 3 months they came to fix the issues they installed a defected leftover piece with different color and different tone. They replaced the burnt piece which was 5”X12” by 4 pieces, they connected them and nailed them, the pieces are not even they look ugly as shown in the photos. Not recommended at all." - Magdy B.

Background Check (License, Insurance): 

All the necessary licensing information for Grizzly Turf is located on the bottom of their website, giving customers peace of mind that their provider is fully compliant. This information has been presented in an easy-to-read format to ensure everyone can access it with ease.

Appearance in Local Search:

Grizzly Turf has capitalized on both Yelp and Google's ad-services to draw attention to their business. Although most companies that rely heavily on paid advertisements tend not to elicit trust, the highly positive customer reviews of their services and the lack of smaller competitors in the vicinity have enabled them to hold a prominent place in this list.

Client Ratings:

  • Yelp: 5 Stars
  • Google: 4.9 Stars

Recent Positive Review:

"I couldn't be more satisfied with how our NoMow Turf turned out. The crew were polite and more importantly paid extreme attention to detail. I needed some extra work done in order to make the area to our liking and they took care of it right away. The putting green area is top notch and they even put a slight slope in it to make it more realistic. The crew double checked with me on the layout and where I wanted the holes etc.

My wife and kids have actually took a liking to the putting green which I must say is quite simply awesome. My friends and family were blown away on how quickly the yard was transformed.

Goodbye gophers, rabbits and large water bill

I will recommend NoMow every time!" - Chris H.

Recent Negative Review:

"I would not waste my time with this company. The manager Sierra, gives a good presentation until you decide to move forward. Her team doesn't show up the date scheduled and they do not even call to apologize, instead she makes up stories to cover for her lack of care for customer.

When I spoke on the phone with Sierra after the workers didn't show up, she kept saying if you want to cancel, I understand!! meaning I really do not want to do the job. Like she was doing me a favor. Very unprofessional! I waisted my morning waiting for her team, instead of hiring other company to do the work. My recommendation, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY AT ALL!!!. There are a lot of wonderful and professional companies that will like your business AND MINE." - Lorena W.

Background Check (License, Insurance): 

When it comes to deciding whether or not to work with NoMow Turf, customers can easily find Licensing information on the business's website. This allows them to feel secure in knowing they are backed by insurance or bond, without having to search anywhere else. By having this valuable data all in one place, customers save time and have greater peace of mind.

Appearance in Local Search:

NoMow Turf uses advertising on Yelp to boost their listing locally. Because they don't heavily advertise on Google, they've been deemed trustworthy enough to make this list. We tend to shy away from those with aggressive advertising because often they're larger companies that are not as reliable. However,  NoMow Turf has an organic presence on Google.

"By far the most professional company we had the pleasure of working with! After a few quotes and sit downs Lucas came in and spent the time with our family going over options and financing. We were able to turn our dirt yard into a literal paradise! Thank you guys so much for bringing us happiness and a beautiful space to entertain and enjoy family time outdoors!" - J. W.

Recent Negative Review:

"We spent almost $70,000 on our yard about 6 months ago. Had multiple quotes. This company was nearly $20,000 more than others, but we were promised we were paying for the quality. Upsold on the specific type of turf, the rocks, as well as the weed barrier to be promised we would never have to do yard maintenance for the duration of owning our home. When the installers came out, we noticed right away they were not actual employees of this company, but were contracted out to do the job. Over the days of install, the guys were drinking beers on the job, cans were all over, and I witnessed one guy peeing on our back fence/wall. I didn't make a fuss about it, it was hot out so I was trying to be understanding. At the end of the job, there were two rolls of turf left over I asked if I could keep, he claimed they were for another job. Didn't make sense... now, 6 months later, we have weeds everywhere. Clearly, this was not worth the "quality" we were told we were paying for. I've reached out multiple times to our "sales rep" to be asked "did you see the guys installing the weed barrier." Well, I paid for it! So it isn't my job to project manage. For being such a large job, not once has someone come out to even see the completed product. I live in a new build community and will tell everyone to go elsewhere!" - Ashley S.

Background Check (License, Insurance): 

To put customers' minds to ease, Ruff n Tuff Turf  provides all the details needed to confirm they are fully insured and bonded on the bottom of their website. This allows buyers to quickly verify this information and feel secure in their purchase decisions.

Appearance in Local Search:

Ruff n Tuff uses both Yelp and Google to sponsor their listings. It appears most of their directed traffic is generated by paid ads. Typically this would be cause to be removed from this last, as those who rely on ads rather organic traffic tend to be less trustworthy. However, due to their high client reviews and the lack of smaller local presence in the area they've been included in this list.

Recent Negative Review:

"Very disappointed..  We have a putting green but after 9 years wanted to spruce it up.  I went on Yelp and contacted 3 companies to give me quotes.  Backyard did contact me in 3 days, however they didn't even seem interested in coming to give an estimate, maybe since it is a small putting area (206 sq ft).  I texted a picture but heard nothing.  I texted again after the 2 other companies came and gave very professional quotes.  He texted me a ballpark and it was twice the amount of the 2 other companies that took the time to come out..  BTW all are from the OC area.  

I guess they only want to take the time for the jobs that are convenient for them.." - Mary R. 

Link to Client Review

Background Check (License, Insurance): 

Though Backyard Golf doesn't post its CSLB insurance number on the website, we were able to confirm that they have valid licensing and coverage active as of 3/6/23 by conducting a business name search. This makes it difficult for anyone considering hiring them to quickly verify their standing.

Appearance in Local Search:

To further expand the reach of their Irvine putting green installation business, Backyard Golf has opted to use Yelp advertising. They are yet to pursue any Google ad campaigns and have instead chosen to rely primarily on local search results and maps listings for greater visibility.

  • Google: 4.3 Stars

Recent Positive Review:

"Extremely responsive and informative, and they really go out of their way to make their customers happy. We've used them for 3 homes now: my grandparents', my father's, and now my home. Excellent quality, great choices, fast, professional quality install. They do fantastic work and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to family or friends. This is the one upgrade that we've done to our home that was the best value when it comes to how often we use it and how happy we are with it. We got the pet/kid friendly version that stays slightly cooler (100°+ weather here) and it does seem to help. They laid down a filler to help combat odor from pets and so far, a month and a half later in the hottest months of summer, no odors. This is hands down the best upgrade we've done to our home. Low maintenance, high use, perfect for our daughter and dog to play on." - Justin M.

"2 months after the install my new lawn began to smell of dog urine. I called Albert who recommended I purchase a product from Home Depot which Was disappointing because 1. It was still brand new 2. Pet odor was my #1 concern and was assured there wouldn't be any. They did come out and reapply more Zeofill and even left us an extra bag but still at the end of the day my grass smells like dog pee. And we only have 1 small Boston Terrier." - Tanya D. 

Link to Client Review

Background Check (License, Insurance): 

Turfora Artificial Grass does not share their license number on their website or listings for convenient verification. However, upon doing a business search on CSLB we were able to verify that licensing and insurance is active as of 3/16/23. 

Appearance in Local Search:

Through advertising on Yelp, Turfora stands out from their competitors. As they do not heavily advertise on Google, we can assume that they are reliable and trustworthy. By contrast, those with aggressive advertising tactics tend to be larger companies without the same level of trustworthiness. They have a very minimal presence outside of local search results for Outdoor putting green installers in Huntington Beach.

"Looks like punctuality and time management is not their best trait, as we've scheduled an appointment, where they were late to, and then a no-show without communication.  Unprofessional and a disregard of customers time." - Lisa T. 

Link to Client Review

Background Check (License, Insurance): 

Wilson Greens Synthetic Grass & Putting Green Experts did not provide any license or insurance number on the website. However, we were able to see an active license under the same business name on CSLB. We'd highly recommend confirming this on your end before signing with this putting green company.

Appearance in Local Search:

This company has no listing on Google or Yelp, foregoing payment for the privilege. While this is reassuring in terms of trustworthiness, it also reduces their visibility in search engine results. To find them, a person will need to scroll past ads and conduct local searches for putting green installers near me.

Our backyard had many stubborn roots that came crawling from the horrible bushes on the slopes outside our yard that it had to be dealt with and cleared out. It was a job and a half to remove the roots as well as our existing Bermuda grass. Rick and his team worked tirelessly and completed the job in the timeframe they promised. Thank you, Rick!! We are very happy with your work, and you deserve 5-stars!!" - Catherine M.

Pacific Coast Turf appears to be a fairly new small local turf installation company that offers putting green services. They do not pay for ad space on Google but they do advertise on Yelp. Visibility on Google is very minimal, you'll find them in local searches and that's about it.

"I am very impressed and happy with the work Edgar & his team did with our yard. He installed turf and also did a beautiful concrete design within one part of the turf. He is very detailed and knowledgeable about turf and and you can tell he's been doing it for many years. He helped us pick the perfect type of turf (grass length, color, etc, to go with our house color, having kids, dogs, etc). He is very professional, prompt, friendly, and affordable. He went above and beyond and helped with a few other home issues aside from the turf and concrete work. I'd definitely recommend him!" - Michelle B.

Recent Negative Review:

"Edgar did a few jobs at our home. Although he does good work, unfortunately, he ghosted us for our last project. We were given a timeline and were delayed 3 times for 3 weeks. After trying to reach out to him to confirm a rescheduled date, we never heard back from him. It's truly unfortunate because we really liked Edgar's work. If you choose to hire him, be aware of the unresponsiveness." - Derek M. 

Link to Client Review

Background Check (License, Insurance): 

Without a website, it is challenging to ascertain the license number of Turf Guy OC. Even after researching CSLB, there didn't appear to be any relevant information. Potential customers should make sure they do their due diligence and verify that this company is operating under an appropriate DBA before engaging their services.

Appearance in Local Search:

When searching for local putting green installation companies in Irvine, you may have noticed that it was hard to stumble across "Turf Guy OC". This is because this company does not have an official website, meaning its visibility and reach are both very minimal.


Concluding Remarks:

In order to identify the most reliable outdoor putting green installers in the Huntington Beach area, we have a list of criteria which need to be met. As a result, those that don't make the cut include:

  • Resellers that use paid advertising campaigns
  • Franchise networks 
  • General contractors who are not experts in this field
  • Companies with history of poor previous work
  • Firms that have received several bad customer reviews in the past year.
