    Back yard

    Just referred a friend today and realized I never wrote a review. Our turf is amazing! It has been a year and a half and it is still great!

    Every detail was nicely done.

    Having dealt with our completely gopher-ruined front yard for several months, we decided to install synthetic grass, after comparing eight other turf companies, we chose HomeTurf. There are several reasons why we like them. First, we contacted the company to arrange the quote, and the operator lady responded quickly, soon after followed with text and email confirmation. Second, Mr. Rich Cubin and his partner came to our property on time, with the advanced technology to precisely measure. They were knowledgeable on turf and gave us different ideas regarding landscape, which aligned with our aesthetics. Third, Mr. Montez and his team arrived promptly, their craftsmanship was truly sophisticated and impeccable while maintaining the worksite neatly and organized. Fourth, the materials they applied are thick, and durable ensuring the turf looks like authentic grass, providing more of a natural appeal. Thank you for transforming our scariest yard around the block into the most beautiful one! Our neighbor drove past and looked astonished by our yard, several neighbors even came to our yard and gave us compliments. Ultimately, it was a pleasant and smooth experience with this company. We highly recommend them if you consider installing synthetic grass. Choose them, and you will not regret it because they went above and beyond to demonstrate professionalism and expertise in this field from the beginning of the estimation to the completion of the project!

    From the start of our project- Denise was accommodating with working around our schedule and having Rick come out on a day that worked for us. Rich was so knowledgeable about synthetic turf, drains, and pavers to make our project the best potential for our back yard. The turf we chose was affordable and softer than I expected turf to be. They out bid all of the competition. The project took 5 days total and was so impressive to see how beautiful the turf and the pavers they but in. The crew was friendly, timely and receptive to personal preferences. Very easy to work with max The attention to detail with the many paver cuts that were required was very impressive. I am going to recommend this company to all my friends/ co-workers in need of turf or landscaping

    Home Turf installed the turf in our backyard and we absolutely love it! Very professional and excellent communication during the entire project.

    From Rich providing the quote, to Denise being delightful in the office answering the phone and my questions and Eric and all the installers were great. Got the result I wanted at a fair quote, I got two other bids. Back yard looks like night and day I could not be happier. The arrived on Monday and prepped but had to wait til Thursday to continue due to rain. Liquefaction is real when compacting the base so they had to wait for dryer days. Finished up on Friday and now I can walk in my back yard in bare feet and enjoy it. Here are pics from before (only weeds would grow, no grass), during and after. Could not be happier.

    From beginning to end, the team at HomeTurf was professional, friendly, and efficient. Rich and Denise were excellent in their consultation and coordination, respectively. I literally met with Rich on a Wednesday morning (his knowledge and expertise was impressive and his pricing competitive) and the turf for my playground and rooftop were installed by Friday afternoon. Alfredo and David were on deck, steadfast and detailed in their process and work. Finally, the cleanup was immaculate which I really appreciated. My kids and I are so happy with how it looks and feels!

    We are very happy with the work that SD Home Turf did in our backyard. Rich met with us, showed us samples, and gave us good design feedback for our backyard. They had a competitive price and the experience, but we ultimately went with SD Home Turf because we felt we could truly trust Rich with our project. The team he had was able to complete the job within a week of giving us the quote. They were able to take care of any questions/concerns that we had gave us a product that we truly love. Can't say enough good things about the team at SD Home Turf!

    Rich was extremely professional, on time, and had a design in mind for my yard that I had not considered. Pricing was excellent and the work was done in one day with minor brush-ups the next day. It was completed just in time for the rain. I am thrilled with the results! Highly recommended!

    I had a great experience with HomeTurf and I'm totally in love with my new turf! Denise and Rich were awesome. They provided good customer service, and were very professional and courteous. Rich came out and gave me an estimate. He was very knowledgeable. Both Denise and Rich were always available for any questions I had during my decision making. I had gotten 3 quotes from different companies and I decided to go with HomeTurf. They had reasonable pricing and Rich's customer service topped them all. The crew were hardworking and efficient. They were kind and courteous. They always cleaned up after every workday, and even brought in my trash cans from the street after trash day! They finished my backyard and front yard in 3 days! It's a great quality product. It looks amazing and I can't stop looking at it. I had very little grass before, it was mostly dirt honestly, and now it's a beautiful green! I'm delighted with my new curb appeal and the best part is it's extremely low maintenance. I highly recommend this company, and have been telling my family, friends, and coworkers about my great experience with HomeTurf.

    My overall experience with HomeTurf has been TRULY EXCEPTIONAL! Our initial contact with Rich was remarkably memorable. He arrived on time for our appointment. He is very HONEST and PROFESSIONAL throughout our entire process. Being a fellow Veteran himself, he offered us a much better pricing, higher quality turf, and unbeatable warranty. He is true to his word and kept his promise of providing us a great experience with HomeTurf. As for the installation crew, led by Alonzo. Our experience with them was EXCELLENT and memorable as well. They arrived on time for each day and were relentless in accomplishing their tasks, even though the weather was taking a turn with a little rain. The entire crew were true professionals and showed complete respect for my property by being mindful of their mess and thoroughly cleaning up after themselves at the end of each day. Although we had expected the project to take 3-4 days to complete. Alonzo and his entire crew were able to complete the job in under 2 days, which is TRULY REMARKABLE! Rich, Alonzo, and entire team at HomeTurf are simply AWESOME! They are what small businesses should strive to become! We look forward to dealing with HomeTurf again when it comes time for our front yard!

    Coming from the East Coast, we didn't know anything about turf. We turned to Yelp for reviews and invited 4 companies to come out and give a quote. Not only was HomeTurf's the most competitive (they beat a competitor's quote and gave the best warranties), they spent the most time with us, explaining how the job would be done, working through multiple options, discussing pros and cons of different turfs, and even taking the time to learn about our family. When the crew showed up, we knew we were in good hands. They explained every step of the process and treated our property like it was their own. We had two patches in which we installed turf (both approximately 350 square feet). One was installed directly on a concrete slab; the other was on dirt after the crew removed about 5 tons of rocks and debris from a previous project. They finished the job in two days and left our property in pristine condition. We are completely pleased with our decision to go with HomeTurf. Our toddler has enjoyed every second of his time playing in his new yards.

    These guys crushed it! I own an ocean view home in Bay Park. Over the last year we have been plagued by gophers. Between the gophers and wanting to lower maintenance costs we started calling turf installers for turf and gopher screen. I got 6 bids and selected Home Turf. Rich was my salesman and communicated clearly and often. I have been a Commercial General Contractor for 30 years and consider myself a tough customer. Gus was the lead Forman. His crew worked from the first moment to the last like an well oiled machine. They we're conscience of dust, neighbors and impeding traffic in front of my house. They showed up ready to work at 7am on the dot and completed the job in three days which others said 5 days. They cleaned up every day before they left. The work they did around the camphor tree roots in my back yard was artful and time consuming for which they did not charge an extra. I have other properties that I will look forward to having them work on.

    After HomeTurf
    David T.

    From start to finish, HomeTurf was knowledgeable, professional, and reliable! The estimate process with Rich was a great experience. He was knowledgeable and provided me with great options and brought up other features I didn't think about. Two days later, Eric reached out to me to schedule the install. His team ready to go with the project soon after and they were always on time and worked in a timely matter. In about four days, HomeTurf turned my side yard into something I can look at with a smile. Prices were fair, but HomeTurf exceeded my experience!

We met with four different companies and received quotes from each, but we either weren't confident in their work or just didn't feel they were the right fit until we met with JG Lawns. Craig came out to provide a free estimate and was brutally honest LOL. He never tried to oversell us or promise things that weren't realistic.  His personality and knowledge earned our trust, and combined with fair pricing, made our final decision to move forward with this company. Our project was originally expected to take about a week, but due to issues with choosing pavements and the paving company shipping the wrong materials, it ended up taking about a month. Even with the unexpected delay, Eric and Jesus (his dad) were fantastic throughout the entire process. They kept us updated every step of the way, explained any changes, and always made sure we were comfortable with the plan before moving forward. Their crew worked incredibly hard every single day. They treated our home with respect, paid attention to every detail, and always cleaned up before leaving for the day. Their pride in their work definitely shows in the finished product. We couldn't be happier with how our backyard turned out. It exceeded our expectations and has completely transformed our outdoor space. We would definitely recommend this company to anybody seeking turf and redo their yard. We are so glad we chose them.

They were very patient with us as we changed our mind a couple times before the installation. Duy in particular was easy to communicate with and was awesome at answering our many questions. Their crew fully demoed, leveled and installed new plant material, sod, mulch, bender board and boulders all in a single day. It was incredible to leave for work with an uneven dirt patch and come home to a gorgeous, fully remodeled front yard. We've had many neighbors stop by already with glowing reviews.
