Just as I was passing…read moreGrissom Park, the smell, and my hunger, got the best of me and I decided to have an impromptu picnic here. Boy am I glad I did. It was only a moderately hot day by Bakersfield standards, 85 according to weatherbug, but still a little hot to be eating outdoors in the sun. Luckily for me, this park has abundance of picnic tables with large shady trees close at hand. I was not the only one enjoying a picnic in the park that day, but the picnic tables (there had to be at least 20 of them) were arranged far enough apart that we all had at least a modicum of privacy. There were also a number of charcoal grilling stations sprinkled throughout the picnic areas - at least 10 of them, and I could smell hamburgers and hot dogs roasting on them. There was a large grassy area where a couple was exercising their large dogs. Yes, they were off the leash but they were having a great time bounding about and didn't bother any of the picnickers. There was a large area with playground equipment for both small and large children which I believe had sand beneath it to guard against injuries from falls. There were also basketball courts and a public restroom. There were a number of families with children out enjoying the relatively moderate weather. There was a covered area with picnic tables and people had set up a number of tent/gazebo like structures to give them shade. It was a surprisingly impromptu and lovely outing in the park. I can't believe I've never stopped here before, but I'm sure I'll be back!

    I'm here every week with my dogs. Great little fenced in spot with plenty of place for my energetic…read morehuskies to run. Water bowls, garbage cans, and benches dotted around the perimeter. Usually regulars will tie extra poop bags to the fence and bring bottles of water. Because this park is a sump, garbage can sometimes wind up at the bottom of the park, but it's maintained weekly and is usually pretty clean for a dog park. The one thing this place NEEDS desperately is more signage about the rules. Last Sunday, July 11, 2021 we arrived around 8am and found a group of about 20 boys and 4 coaches having football practice. Usually I wouldn't mind this type of thing and welcome the socialization for the dogs, but the kids were not properly talked to about respecting the dog park. One of the boys opened the fence gate and let both of my dogs out, who of course then bolted out into the busy street. I feel that this could have been avoided if there were proper signs about closing the fence and being mindful of the dogs. Especially because this dog park is just the small fenced in area of a larger park, I feel like they could play anywhere and dogs really just have this one spot.

    We contacted Courts and Greens after some neighbors recommended them. We also got several quotes…read moreelsewhere for similar product. While Courts and Greens was not the lowest bid, it was not the most expensive either. I wanted to be sure that after just a few short years, our lawn would not look like some in the neighborhood, deflated, crunchy, cheap, like off the roll at your local hardware store. We felt totally comfortable after speaking to Michelle that the job was going to be handled competently and the lawn was going to look great. Michelle got us on the schedule right away and in one short work day, it was installed and done. The job was clean and done with care, no extra clean up for me or anything! If you want a worry-free experience on a turf install, you know who to call.

    We started with a large project for a quote, went a completely different way with front and back…read moreyards. Contacted Michelle with new request for a smaller patch in the front yard to be turf. Michelle came out within a day to provide a new quote for me. She delivered in the timeframe she promised and my yard looks great! I continue to receive compliments from neighbors and friends. Michelle was the most responsive person of the five companies I contacted. I has a bit hesitant about contacting her a second time because the revised job was much smaller than the first; she treated this request as she did the first one, timely and made no remarks about the smallness of the job (some company people do that because they only want the big jobs!). I recommend this company and Michelle for your lawn replacement needs.
