    Putting Green
    Brad M.

    Exceeded all expectations! Chris, Tim and the guys were awesome. No need to get more than one quote these guys are the real deal!!

    We couldn't be happier with our new turf! I was having a party for my husband on Saturday - I set up a consultation with the owner, Chris on the Monday before the party and we had the turf completely installed by Wednesday! Chris was extremely knowledgable and upfront regarding the installation and even suggested we add a goalie box of different turf in front of our giant soccer net (as we are not golfers). Although my request to have it done before Saturday was big, he made it happen. The turf is gorgeous and has made our backyard seem larger and the best part is no more mud/dirt being tracked in by the kids! Highly recommend this company!

    I had old artificial turf that was turning 20 and when searching for companies to replace the old stuff, I was a bit overwhelmed to say the least. A neighbor recommended Chris at Backyard Golf so I added him to the list of contractors. Once Chris and I met, I knew he was the guy for the job. Chris was honest, upfront and super fair on his pricing. I was a bit skeptical with the promises made considering we needed some roots removed and had some drainage issues. Long story short, wow! was I impressed with his crew and how amazing everything turned out. His crew was on time, hard working, and had an extreme attention to detail. I'm so thankful we found Chris at Backyard Golf and truly can't say enough of how happy we are!

    Putting green with nice breaks. Brick painted white for installation of a color graphic of a long fairway to give the space flair.

    I took up golf about 7 months ago and at the range all I practice is driving. My game is coming along, but my putting really stinks! So I decided to have a putting green installed to complement my newly constructed custom outdoor kitchen. Backyard Golf wasn't the first place I called, but after talking to Tim on the phone I was convinced that he knew what he was talking about. Tim came out to access my space and was extremely informative. I was impressed that he was a pro golf instructor and knew his way around the greens. My space isn't large, approx. 13'x26' but he drew out the layout and I feel in love. Although I hadn't started the construction, and it was 5 months after Tim was here, he never bugged me about beginning. And, as a sales executive, that can be very hard not to do! Backyard Golf's installation team was quick, efficient and friendly. They knew their stuff and worked together like an orchestra! If you need a putting green or turf make sure to give them a call!

    Approx 13 X 20 side yard install. Longer rough chipping area in the front, fringe and greens. Love it!

    Chris and the Backyard Golf crew are THE BEST! I obtained 4 bids from local OC turf/putting green installers. Backyard golf got the bid for the following reasons: Chris golfs. He understands what a golfer would want in a putting area. They've installed all the putting greens at Roger Dunn shops and the First Tee program OC. Their bid wasn't the highest nor was it the cheapest but the quality of the materials and workmanship exceeded expectations, all referrals I reached out to were quite confident in their services. If you're a golfer and really want a putting quality that rolls close to a true putting surface, go with this company. Be weary of other companies and the type of materials... Do your research! I have a 13X25 side yard that went from unused dead grass to a chipping and putting practice area that's no maintenance!

    My husband and I had talked about a backyard putting green for years. When gophers attacked our grass, we decided to make it a reality. We contacted several companies and decided to use Backyard Golf and Games because they specialize in putting greens. We are so glad that we did! From the consultation on, Trent discussed a green that was exactly how we pictured it! We have a small side yard as well, and Trent and his crew even delivered the gravel for our pathway! Installation only took two days. I have a backyard orchard, so I was worried that some of the branches of my trees would be damaged. My worries were for nothing. The crew worked my trees into the design and none of my trees were damaged during installation. The crew cleaned up after themselves each day which doesn't happen with every landscape/construction company. At the last minute, my husband and I decided to add another hole and change the hole placements. No problem. I talked to Trent over the phone, and he made sure the hole placements met our specifications. The only downside was a new flag had to be ordered. I picked the flag up a few days later from their store which is a small sacrifice to have exactly what you want. My husband and I now have exactly the backyard we envisioned, down to each flag having it's own color. I highly recommend the company. Now to plan the front yard...

    Trent provided us the best service: Always on time (even arrives earlier), very responsible, professional, and friendly! The turf is in no doubt great quality, and fair price too~ We love it! Thank you!

    They did an amazing job!!

    I just put in a pool in my backyard and decided to pull up all of our grass and put in artificial grass. I hired Chris and Tim from Backyard Golf and I couldn't be happier. They did a fantastic job!!! The guys that did the install did were super detailed and made it look amazing. I would highly recommend them.

He heard my specific vision for our yard and then took it steps further with suggestions, ideas, and possibilities that could work for our budget while realizing our aesthetic goals. Jeremy will be patient handling all of your questions and thorough with your options until you find the sweet spot for the job you'd like to see in your yard. Thank you. Luis & the crew that handled the installation on our property were All-Stars that left no aspect of the job overlooked. They spoke with me about a few alterations that would benefit our yard if we wanted to go in that direction. These guys showed up early, on time, and handled their business by 4:00-4:30pm. They also made sure if I had any concerns or questions on-site as the job was in progress to address them & find a solution. Thanks so much to this organized and expert team of installers! Kamryn in the front office was kind, professional, and made sure the paperwork, contracts, or any documents needed were an easy process to take care of. She'll walk you through anything you need when it comes to handling the clerical side of things. Thanks again, Kamryn. The yard turned out even better than I had anticipated & it's always a good feeling working with a company that understands quality over quantity. Grizzly Outdoor will make sure you are more than satisfied with the outcome of your job. Wishing them all continued prosperity.

Down the road we had a minor issue come up (completely unrelated to their workmanship). I reached out not knowing what to expect. Their responsiveness was immediate! They sent a full crew who spent hours out here making sure everything was perfect. The finished product looks brand new. This is a company that genuinely stands behind their work. Not in the "we'll get back to you eventually" way, but in the "we're sending a team out to make this right" way. The craftsmanship is excellent and the customer service is even better. When you're shopping for turf it's tempting to just go with the lowest quote. I'd encourage anyone to think bigger than that. Support a local small business that actually cares about the finished product and the relationship with their customers long after the install is done. These guys are the real deal.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Thank you OC Turf & Putting Greens!!

He meets with clients himself, is reasonable in all of his dealings, and he tells it as it is. No fancy business store front and multiple staff you have to go through. It's just him and his installation team. I like that kind of business man. Anil came by our home and brought a vanload of samples and presented them transparently and perfectly. He even has a description of all his recommended turf in the back of the estimate; I love this because you can compare all of the turf specifications and I love that he leaves the samples for you to compare at your own pace and your own time. We had over 5 different quotes, but in the end, we went with Anil because his price could not be beat, he is LOCAL to the South County Area, and honestly I just really appreciated his no frills style. He's not coming in like a used care sales man but pretty much tells you how it is with his product. We have 3 other neighbors that have gone with him, so that shows you his track record. The installation went perfectly smooth, and I've done a lot of work on our house. I hate having to "be available" for contractors and their team. With Anil, we didn't worry about anything. We gave him our needs and special requests before installation and that was the end of it. His team was quick and efficient and definitely accommodating. In the end, we were glad we went with him and would recommend him to all of our friends, family and neighbor.

I purchased my home in Escondido, CA in early 2022 and started exploring backyard renovation options shortly after. By September 2022, I chose to move forward with Ruff N Tuff Turf after being told that my backyard would be featured in their marketing materials and that I'd receive a discounted rate because of this. Unfortunately, I now believe this was just a sales tactic. From the beginning, there were red flags. The salesperson, Anthony, provided a very rough, unprofessional mockup (see attached image), and the design did not accurately reflect my backyard's measurements or layout. The layout boxes didn't align with the space, which likely led to incorrect ordering... too much paver material (I still have a significant surplus far beyond the 10% overage I was told to expect) and not enough turf. The shortfall in turf meant they had to install it in multiple sections with seams, despite me being promised a seamless look during the sales pitch. Fast forward to now, nearly three years later, and I've been dealing with an ongoing issue of weeds growing through the turf, not just around the edges, but directly through the middle (see attached photos). I contacted Ruff N Tuff Turf and was told this was not their responsibility and was purely a maintenance issue on my end and to use Roundup 365. However, several other landscaping professionals I've since consulted confirmed that properly installed artificial turf should not allow weeds to grow through like this. Surface weeds can happen, but penetration through the turf indicates a deeper problem with installation or materials. For transparency, I paid $31,343 for: 860 sq ft of Soft Touch Pro-Natural Series 1000 turf (envirofill, zeolite, and 15 LF premium poly board) 449 sq ft of courtyard pavers (including polymeric sand) 286 sq ft of 3/8 rock 3 stump removals On a positive note, the turf has held its color, doesn't retain pet odors, stays cooler than other turf I've experienced, and does look fairly realistic (though now, the weeds probably make it look too realistic). Overall, my experience with Ruff N Tuff Turf was disappointing, from the misleading sales approach, to poor planning, to subpar installation, and the lack of professionalism/accountability after the fact. I would recommend doing thorough research and getting multiple professional opinions before moving forward with this company.
