We met with Paul from Out-Back Turf because of his high reviews from Yelp. We also received pricing from other contractors, but none held a candle to Paul. He must have shown us 20 different grass samples compared to the others who showed us 3 at most. Paul gave us locations in our area where he had worked so we could see his product. We decided to hire Out-Back because of Paul and his low pressure approach, honest answering of questions and the down to earth impression that we got of him. He wasn't out to sell us, he was out to help us decide on the best path for us. The crew began our back yard on a Wednesday morning. I did not meet the crew until that afternoon as I work early. Each one of the men came up to me and introduced themselves to me. They had obviously worked hard that entire day, but were polite and excited about the job at hand. These same guys continued the work on Thursday also. Each afternoon they cleaned up after themselves and left the area free of debris. On Friday afternoon I arrived to about 7 workers finishing our project and Paul working along with them. I was so very impressed at the amount of work they got done in such a small period of time. Even after a very long day of work, the crew was joking with each other and chatting. They obviously enjoy what they do and working together. The install is PERFECT! Even better than I had imagined. They did everything they said they would do and more. They blew off our entire property, even areas where they didn't do an work. They took all the debris and left the area clean and beautiful. After dealing with many different contractors over the last few years, Paul and his team are a breath of fresh air! Honest and quality! If you are considering adding artificial turf or other landscaping items, we would recommend Out-Back Turf hands down!!! read more

From the moment I met with Paul to talk about our project to the moment he and his team completed the work - they were exceptional. The entire Out-Back team were completely down to earth, and did the job with excellence. They landscaped my backyard by adding a retention wall, pouring a slab of concrete to extend my patio, and turfing the rest of the backyard. The finished project looks excellent, and we couldn't be more pleased. If you are considering doing any type of landscaping work or turf installation - look no further than Out-Back Turf Company. Plus, the warranties and assurances they provided me gives me confidence that they're committed even past the completion of the project! read more

I was extremely pleased with the turf removal that was done by Outback Turf. Paul, his son Gage and their crew were very professional and proficient. Paul had a lot of ideas for my front yard and I plan on using him for more projects in the future. Their pricing and service is second to none. Call these guys TODAY! read more

Paul & his crew do excellent work. Very efficient & 1/2 the price of anyone else. Alpine locals get the serious hook-up. Highly recommended. read more

Paul came out gave us a quote, we were floored when we saw the price. I think it took two weeks to rework the quote and add much more than we had planned Paul's crew did a good job prepping the area for Paul to create a beautiful layout that was again more than we could have imagined. I wake up every morning and wonder what resort I am at, then the coffee kicks in and I'm like this is my backyard,awesome. We are saving up for Paul to come do the front yard next year. read more

I took several bids from the best rated on Yelp and then had Paul from Outback here in Alpine give me a quote. I felt comfortable and assured after speaking with him that they had a superior product,price and warranty. The crew showed up on time and did an excellent job. The neighbors have all complimented us on our new yard. Each step in the process was carefully done from the removal of the old grass , leveling of the dirt to the carefully laid pavers. Before you choose to do your turf, I recommend you contact these guys. This is not cheap artificial grass I see in several yards in the community and definitely adds to our home value. read more

Hey so Paul finally called me back. I'm guessing after he saw my review here. He said he'd send me a refund. Gave me lots of excuses as to why he failed to perform per our agreement but side he'd make it right. I'm still waiting.... So again, don't waste your time and efforts with these clowns. They have no idea how to operate a business!!! read more

We are super happy with the job Paul and his crew completed. Looks great and now we really can enjoy our outside space! read more

I scheduled a date and time with Paul to come out and provide me an estimate for my yard. When I ended the call we both confirmed that they will be at my residence Thursday, 5/14 at 5:00PM. After leaving work early and dealing with rush hour traffic just to be at my house before 5:00PM, guess what... no one showed, no phone call to cancel, no email, smoke signal, carrier pigeon, nothing. Definately not what I would have expected from a business that received 5 stars from 9 different reviewers. read more

Our backyard now looks exactly how I had always envisioned it could look, thanks to Outback Turf and Paul's team! I interviewed several companies in San Diego when I decided I wanted artificial turf installed in our backyard. It was not until Paul (owner) came to the house, and sketched out the landscape design, that I realized I had finally found just the "right" company to complete my vision! Paul was very much "hands-on" throughout the process, making sure every detail was attended to. The end result was a "picture-perfect" backyard, with a stunning feel and layout. I highly recommend Outback Turf and thank Paul for his creativity and professionalism! read more

Paul and his crew at Out-Back Turf Co. did a great job with our front and back yard. We had synthetic turf installed in the back, and a dried river in the front. Unlike other companies I've gotten qoutes from (4 in all), Paul was the only one who suggested incorporating some synthetic turf in dried river to make it look more organic (and it really does!). Paul was also the only one who didn't simply want to cap off all of the irrigation system where the synthetic turf was installed. This allowed me to rinse off the lawn with the sprinklers if my dog peeped, pooed or got dirt on it. It is no wonder why the other companies promised job completion in as little as 1 to 2 days. Out-Back, on the other hand, finished the job in a little over a week, and we are all the better for it. He was meticulous and paid great attention to what and how things were done. In fact, when it came to the turf, Paul did most of if by himself. If you are having a hard time getting a hold of him, he is probably busy doing the work... All in all, the end result exceeded our expectations. My wife and I would highly recommend Out-Back Turf Co. to anyone who is looking for water saving yard alterations. read more

Love our new yard! The putting green is a perfect addition to our yard. The owner Paul, did a great design for us. We get SO MANY compliments on our yard. Thank you Paul for the outstanding service, design and final product! read more

I am in Love with My front and back yard. They look fantastic. My kids love it too. Thanks to Paul and his staff. We are very happy! The work is perfection, and amazing quality. I highly recommend Out-Back. read more

I was excited about contacting this company, but the number has been changed. I think they have packed up shop!

(619)655-2022 is his new number if you are trying to reach him. We have been working with him off and on for about a year and it's been a real pleasure. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Out-Back Turf when they built the new turf field at the Alpine Elementary School. This was a difficult task that Paul and his crew tackled with ease. The professionalism, pride and efficiency exhibited by Out-Back are heads-and-shoulders above the competition and, quite frankly, 99/9% of the companies out there, regardless of what field they are in. My wife and I are going to bring Paul and his crew to our new home. We are excited to have them transform our yard! Okay, that was the well-deserved pitch on the quality of their work - they are true craftsmen. I also want to point out that Paul and his crew volunteered many, many hours to support the new field at AES. Companies that perform at the level of Out-Back do NOT need to do community service work - they rest on their laurels and the business comes in. Out-Back is that rare company that beats the competition but still supports the community, the schools, and the kids. I'll never forget the Grand Opening Day -- I was one of the volunteers setting up before the big ceremony and there were Paul and his crew helping set up tents, move chairs, and whatever was asked of them. I was already convinced that Out-Back was the company for me based on their spectacular field but their willingness to do whatever it took to support the kids was truly icing on the cake. YOU WANT OUT-BACK TURF COMPANY!!! read more

Although they called to confirm my appointment, they did not show. Words cannot express how annoyed I was, since I drove 1.5 hours from Orange County to East San Diego County to meet them at my rental home. After calling multiple times to endless ringing, I can only assume the have closed up shop. read more

I have had Paul and his crew of pro's out to my house 3 times now to do different turf areas for me, and they are always top notch. They recently put in a 50 foot putting green for me that looks so real, my kids keep asking if it is real grass! There are so many good things to say about Outback Turf that this review could be boring, but I will hit the major ones: Paul and his team are meticulous, and have a great attention to detail. I have had a couple other companies do turf for me, and they never pay attention to the small things that make turf look and feel great. In addition, Paul listened to what "I wanted", and made it work and all the while turned my ideas into something really first class. If you have had a mediocre or bad turf installed, you know what I'm talking about, bad seams, lumps, the black matting showing, areas of turf not tacked or nailed down properly. Paul examines every area of his work (and his guys) and makes sure there are no mistakes or anything missed. His crew actually complained Paul is "too" meticulous- hogwash!! There is no such thing, and that is what makes these guys real pros, the kind of contractor you hire more than once because you know he's going to get it right! And here is the best part: They are professional and clean up after themselves (how many contractors leave a huge mess and don't clean up? Most, if you have had any work done, you know what I'm talking about...) You'd never think this was such a big deal until you sink your life savings and hard work into your house, and then have a contractor leave a huge mess because they just don't care, it's not their house! Paul and his crew clean up everything, and they treated my house like it was their own, this is so rare in the construction world, it's almost unheard of... Kudo's Paul to another job well done, and you proved once again why you and your company are worth every penny, and so is knowing that I'll never have to worry about you doing it right, and that is priceless! Thank you to: Paul, Curtis, John, and Kip, you guys rock! (And for any of the other guys that worked at the house: THANK YOU!) I will upload photo's soon, they speak louder than words. read more

The owner Paul Dyke and his crew are hard working, honest and genuinely focused on providing the best result. They removed about 2900 sq. ft. of old live turf that was gopher infested and dying from lack of water. What they installed looks natural, doesn't require much maintenance and best of all needs no water. My bill has already gone down about one third and will likely drop further once I receive a bill over a 30 day period without having to water any live turf. I personally recommend Paul and his great crew. Patrick Hayes read more

I got many quotes from other turf companies all of which sent out a sell's rep who knew nothing about the installation process. I had already ripped out the old soil, installed new drainage, and installed the base material myself. I just needed a turf company to come in and install the weed barrier and artificial turf. All of the other companies had their fixed per square foot price not even recognizing that I had already done more than half the work. Paul from Out-Back Turf Company was the owner and lead foreman of his crew. He recognized the work that I had already done and gave me a fair price for what was left. He guaranteed that I would not see any seams in the turf after installation and he was correct. The backyard looks beautiful and we get many compliments from family and friends. Paul and his crew did an outstanding job for a very fair price. When installing artificial turf I would highly recommend you include this company when getting estimates. read more

No project to small. This local company was great to work with. The best prices in town and fabulous work.

I wish I could give negative stars! This guy gives contractors a bad rap. Not only does my turf have sink holes the seam is jagged and totally noticeable. Paul patched in an area with turf that doesn't match the other turf he installed. He said he would come back and fix it but needed to collect a check. Guess what.... never heard of him again. He won't answer my calls so then I texted him... he said to "F off" and he would only come back if I pay him more money. After measuring his turf that they installed I found out that they also charged me for 60 more sq ft than I received. Looked him up on the CSLB and he isn't licensed anymore and someone is going after his bond. read more

So, I don't know what kind of work they do! I read a lot of positive reviews on yelp & requested a quote. I did not hear back from them. I looked up their phone # and tried calling. The message I got is that the phone # had been changed and the forwarding # was unknown. I went to their website and found another # which said to call the original # I called. I e-mailed them twice - and I have never heard a peep. They may be very busy this time of year - I imagine all the turf companies are - and I noted in the emails, request for quote, etc. that my backyard area was only 250 square feet - so maybe they only wanted big jobs - but IMHO their customer service sucks. At least for me it does!! read more

Paul is a wonderful person. He truly cares about his work! My yard turned out beautiful! I suggest OUTBACK turf for everyone! saves a bunch on water and landscapers read more

Could not be happier with the work of Paul Dyke and his crew. They were much more experienced than the competitor bids.

These guys are great! They not only offered to do the Alpine elementary school field, they volunteered many hours in making sure that it turned out great, and in time for the soccer season to start. Thanks outback turf for being a great part of the alpine community! read more

This is by far the best turf I've ever had. I've had several properties with different landscapes and turfing over the years and I am thrilled at the results of this one. Over time I've always tried to save money but I have found that not having quality turf and installation has led to nothing but problems. Paul, the owner is a visionary. He offered suggestions I went with and could not be happier. He was referred to me by multiple people, he also stands behind his work and doesn't try to "sell" you. He was ethical, efficient, and professional. I wouldn't go anywhere else..hope this helps! read more

I wish we had known about Paul and Outback Turf when we did our front yard. A good friend of mine used Outback Turf for his large front yard. It looks awesome!! You have to get within 6 inches to realize it is artficial turf. I recommend Paul and Outback Turf to everyone I know....and that's a lot of people. read more

I had artificial turf installed about seven years ago by another company. I wish I knew about Out-Back Turf Company back then, because I like to keep my business local. I had a situation the other day where I needed the turf pulled back for the electrician to work on a junction box. I called Paul and he came out the next day and pulled back the turf for me. He didn't charge me a penny! He was very nice and courteous. I would definitely recommend Paul and his company. Thank you Paul! read more

All the guys were professional, courteous, and happy to answer all of my questions and concerns. I highly recommend using Out-Back if you want the best prices and best quality! read more
