    New Patio
    Laurie C.

    We recommend Silva Contractors for your patio work. From the beginning they were very responsive to meeting with us, discussing our vision, and implementing our plans. We had an old blue stone patio that we wanted removed so we could create a new patio with areas for planting and a fire pit. We also wanted to make the new patio level with our driveway, address drainage issues, and retain access to a clean-out that was located under the step that leads from our back door. Paulo Silva, our project manager, assured us that everything would be done to code and all our requests would be met. The project would be done on time and on budget. No additional surprises. The team of workers were amazingly efficient. The existing patio was removed in one day and the old stone was stacked neatly away. Each day the crew cleaned up and left the yard neatly accessible. Our new patio is beautiful and I love the color. We love sitting in the sun having our coffee. We love looking at the plants that we put in. Paulo even added a water faucet near the flower bed to make it easy to water. The fire pit is so cozy to sit around as the evenings cool. My mother who is wheelchair bound can easily access our patio. He replaced the existing step leading out of our house and now it is more attractive and inviting. It has been raining heavily now and we have no standing water on our new paver patio just as they assured us. They finished the project within the time frame they promised and there were no unexpected increases. We are so pleased that we picked Silva Contractors for our patio project.

    We had paver installed on the side of the house. Rick and his team we're very professional. Very accommodating to my family. Our neighbors were so happy with the work. They wanted their contact information.

    We worked with Silva last month to remodel our backyard and couldn't be more happy with the process, staff and results! From the moment we met Paulo and Pablo we knew it would be a great fit. They quoted within 24 hours, great pricing, and were able to start within 10 days. The process took less then 2 weeks and we were impressed by their communication throughout the process. All of the on site workers were professional and talented! They did the removal/demo of the fence, deck and most importantly concrete around the pool. They then put in pavers, lawn/sprinklers, lighting and fence. Couldn't be happier!!! We will definitely be using Silva Contractors again in the near future!

    Worked with Silva contractors on a driveway replacement, steps and a path (all pavers). Paulo came out twice to quote the project based on changes I requested (added some sq/footage). Was very easy to work with a the most responsive of the vendors I talked to. The quote was affordable and competitively priced. Project went really smooth - brought a large crew in for demo day and couldn't believe how quickly they got the old concrete out of there. From there a smaller crew prepped the site and laid the pavers over the next few days. All looked great but there was a fence post that got damaged as it was supported by the old concrete. Fortunately Paulo sent over someone who put in a new post (stronger than the old one) at no additional cost. Overall I wish we'd done this project a while back - it looks so good. Would definitely work with them again.

    Great to work with and hard working crew. Job was some earthmoving to fill in a ditch and landscape. Rick Silva was really responsive, came out and gave me a reasonable estimate and timeframe. They scheduled it in quickly and had a short form contract to keep things professional. Junior Silva came out on the day scheduled to manage the job and had things under control with a good group. Job took two days as predicted and to keep to time Junior increased the crew on the second day. They leveled things off and did a good clean-up including any dirt on the sidewalk and road. Definitely would recommend.

    My husband & I have been wanting to redo our driveway and also add an additional RV driveway to our front yard. Silva Contractors was very responsive when we reached out to them (same day). We worked with Rodrigo as our point of contact, and he had open lines of communication throughout the whole process. They also did our front landscaping & side yard. There was a delay getting the synthetic turf from their supplier, but they still managed to finish the entire 3,000+ sq.ft. job within the promised time! The crew runs a tight ship with their entire operation. Many neighbors have stopped to admire their work, and give us compliments. I can't recommend them enough!

    John K.

    Silva Contractors really went above and beyond my expectations. Starting from initial call, Rodrigo was very responsive, came out to discuss the project and measure everything, and provided the detailed quote within a few days. What's even more impressive was that he committed to start the project almost immediately - and did! It was a full backyard remodel and a large project. I expected it to take at least two months, but Silva completed the entire project in just three weeks - and all to our utmost satisfaction. Everything was done with great detail and care, and all of our requests were exceeded. Even Mr. Silva came by regularly to check on the progress and making sure that we were completely satisfied. These guys are true professionals and highly recommended.

    Silva contractors finished an amazing job for my backyard in less than 5 days. I'm so happy with their details orientation and professional work.

    Added paver base and ready for paver installation

    Creating a garden waking path was our dream. After getting quotes from multiple contractors, we find Silva Contractors to be the best in terms of deals. They defined project to be 4 days in length, which actually took 4 days spanning over 10 day period. Guys were professional, easy to deal with and their work was perfect. They made sure to deliver quality they promised. They delivered the exact same pavers in look and feel as we initially pointed out in their catalogue. I asked them some favors along the way for paver extension around water tap which they happily did at no extra cost. I would definitely recommend to take a look at deal they offer and I will rehire them for my future projects.

    After consulting many contractors, we finally decided SCI to do the huge project on our backyard. Jorge Betincort,the operation manager and sale representative of this project did an amazing job overseeing his crew on site every day ,making sure everything goes well as planned.He didn't disappoint. The three brothers who were installers were very professional and easy to deal with regards to some changes and corrections/ suggestions I wanted. We are very happy and satisfied with the outcome!... they finished the job on time! Highly recommended!

He gave some great advice, and, frankly, he is the main reason we went with Synlawn. Installation was quick and done efficiently. Then it all went south! Mario said that it was great for pets, citing drainage and durability. It is not good if you have a puppy, which he knew we had, as puppies love to chew on things and the turf pulls out quite easily. Too, shortly after installation, we thought we had a ripple in the turf possibly due to installation. I contacted Mario and he said he would come by and take a look. We never heard from him again. To be honest, it turned out to be nothing, but, nonetheless, he never reached out again. After a couple of months was saw some discoloration around the fountain. I contacted Billy Bright, and he said it was due to the water from the fountain. He said to try CLR cleaner, which didn't change anything, and then he said to try GooGone, which also didn't work. He said Synlawn was not going to do anything about it, since it was due to the fountain. My point is, since it seems to be a known issue, why wasn't this mentioned at the time of the sale by our salesperson, Mario, with 17 years experience! The fountain has been in place long before the turf sale took place. Seemingly it is always what the salesperson doesn't tell you that comes back to bite you. Needless to say, that in no way can I recommend Synlawn to anyone. I am giving them one star as there is no zero.

    We love our SYNLawn Synblue 745 lawn…read more Billy and Lou went going above and beyond in answering all my questions, coordinating with other warehouses so I could see samples in person while traveling (since they don't have local offices in the Bay Area, only Sacramento), and really diving in deep as I was analyzing every single detail + pros/cons of all the different turf lines as I was making my decision. Everyone was so patient and great. I probably called and talked to them at least 10+ times, Lou even answered my call while on vacation in Mexico! We only bought the turf and infill and used our own contractor to install in Oakland. However, I did about 6-12 months of research and sample gathering across many different turf companies and suppliers (WaterSavers, TigerTurf, SGS in LA, Heavenly Greens, BeeGreen, etc.) and SYNLawn's quality was consistently superior while also providing the most natural look. We also were considering the previous SynBlue 949 (which is no longer being manufactured) as it doesn't seem to require infill and many past customers in our area are extremely happy with it. It's super lush and felt very nice but has more of a yellowish hue when side-by-side with SynBlue 745. We also wanted to compare but weren't able to get a sample of the 545, but ultimately felt good about going with the higher density and face weight of the 745. Unfortunately, Yelp posted my pics in random order but you can see the general before and after. We're so thankful to have a wonderful place space for our kids, and to have found SYNLawn when we did (it was the last turf company I researched after someone recommended them from a neighborhood FB group). OTHER FINALISTS My other finalists were either Dune/Sage from SGS or an unidentified sample from Heavenly Greens. SGS to their credit was honest that those lines were meant for landscaping and may get matted down or have breakage over time with heavy play usage. We didn't enjoy the sales reps from Heavenly Greens and were unfortunately never able to narrow down the name of the sample we liked from them (there were no tags attached). Our neighbors installed Willow from WaterSavers, but it was not as plush or thick underfoot as the SynBlue 745, and not as natural in appearance. Overall, we're thrilled with our decision and hope this long overdue review helps someone else! (Our kids now use the other turf samples as "plates" on the turf when they play "restaurant." :))

What won me over with Turf World was: 1. Jason's transparency about the process with sending me his You Tube videos (the job went exactly as promised); 2.

After researching this for 2 months, I went with Turf World and I am thrilled with the result. My advice? Go around and look at installations. Watch videos. I did and after a ton of consideration I went with Turf Word and I am a 100% happy and satisfied customer, And I'm not an easy target. PS remember as you are comparing the turf samples that soft turf flops easier. So it might feel nice, but when it falls flat and looks like a mini golf course after a month you are not going to be happy If you are wanting it to look like an actual lawn, like I did!)

A neighbor had recommended Fenix. About a year ago a representative came to our house to give an estimate. He brought samples and measured the area and was quite thorough in his explanation and recommendations. We decided on one of the products but had to hold off installation because we were having other work done in the backyard that could have damaged a new turf. Finally the yard was done almost a year later and we contacted Fenix. Their prices had gone up only 10 cents a square foot but they honored our original bid. Installation was scheduled a couple of weeks later. A week before the install we received an email with the site prep, warranty, care instructions, and other useful information. They offer a discount if you pay by cash or check. On installation day they arrived close to 8 a.m. and apologized for being late as it was foggy in Sacramento and dangerous driving. The crew immediately got to work, first capping off the irrigation that watered the former grass lawn and then digging out the dirt and roots. They uncovered a couple of drainage pipes that we weren't aware of and cleaned them out and reset them to be operational under the turf. They accidentally cut some irrigation pipes and quickly repaired them. Once the job was finished they cleaned up our backyard, even on the side of the yard they weren't working in. The new artificial turf looks wonderful. We highly recommend Fenix if you are considering artificial turf for your yard.
