This company was fabulous to work with from start to finish! Erik was easy to work with and listened to our needs and concerns. He stayed on top of the project and kept us posted on any changes or updates. Fernando and his crew showed up on time every day and worked hard to get the project complete in a timely fashion. They did a great job cleaning up after completion and everything looked great! We will definitely have them back to do our front yard!

We have recently used FG Pavers to landscape our front yard. We are very happy with the service that we've received. FG Pavers were very easy to work with and provided high quality service. A crew of at least 4 landscapers was solidly working every day so the project moved very swiftly. The communication was easy with both the site manager and the project consultant. Very professional good service. Thank you

Our house was built in 89 and the backyard was in a complete mess, we wanted to clean it up and started to look for experts.

FG Pavers and Turf was one of a few contractors that looked at our backyard and sent us a quote. I have dealt with many contractors before, and when it comes to presenting a quote some are quite detail and some are just not. The quote I received from Erik (FG Pavers) is so detail, he really takes it to the next level. For a customer like me, this brings so much confidence and trust. Their price is quite reasonable. When things are completed, the price I paid feels very justified, it feels like a bargain.

Erik and Frank came from time to time to check the progress and to make sure the quality is maintained. The crew was fantastic too.

I highly recommend them for your backyard project.

Just finished our backyard project with FG Pavers and Turf, and can't say enough good things! Many thanks to Janelle, Hugo, Erik, Eduardo and the crew for making everything go smoothly. We really appreciate the crew working through the extreme heat to get the project done. The price was on point, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

These guys were the best vendors to work with. I have a small backyard and had a basic design in mind that I felt would look nice. I pitched my idea to Hugo and he immediately converted the idea into a 2D mode (others were merely crunching numbers and were talking cost). Throughout the entire process, they were extremely responsive, relentlessly working and constantly communicating the progress. They went beyond my expectation to bring my idea into life (though I went with the artificial turf - pun intended). Now, this has become a favorite hangout spot for my wife, my kid and myself.

Eric and Hugo, keep up the good work!

P.S to the readers - try to lock them soon or you won't be able to get the job started as they're extremely over booked.

After interviewing a number of companies, I selected FG Pavers and Turf to remodel my backyard, and I'm SO glad I did. First, Daniel came out to answer my gazillion questions and drew a landscape blueprint for me to accompany his reasonable quote. When I accepted, Ryan, the project manager, answered a gazillion more of my questions, helped me with ideas, and then constantly monitored the paver, turf, and rock installations to make sure everything was perfect, even re-doing a step a number of times to make sure I was happy with it. Fernando and his crew did perfect work from start to finish installing my artificial turf. If you hire FG Pavers and Turf (and you should!), be sure to ask for their in-house team led by Fernando. From Janelle in the office to Daniel, Ryan, and Fernando and his team, everyone at FG Pavers is friendly, knowledgeable, skilled, and highly professional. The communication throughout the project was excellent, and I could always get ahold of someone if need be. I'm extremely pleased with my new backyard and definitely recommend FG Pavers.

We wholeheartedly recommend FG Pavers for anyone who needs hardscape renovations done for their property. We had approximately 6000 sq. ft. of work including 2500sq ft of pavers, about equal that in artificial turf, and a 3ft high retaining wall that ran about 120ft. We interviewed 7 different contractors with high ratings on Yelp and Google, and narrowed it down to FG and another company we would have been happy to go with.

Hiring a contractor is always a bit of a crapshoot but I feel we got very fortunate to meet Daniel and his team after a lot of hard work and due diligence in our selection process. Start to finish, we began interviewing in November of 2024 and finished up work in May 2025.

We chose FG for a number of reasons. First, Daniel was professional, knowledgeable and detailed in the initial consultation and quoting process. His quote left no question what they were, and were not, going to do, and his prices were in line with other contractors.

Equally important was that Daniel is a calm, neutral presence. Not salesy, responsive to texts and calls, and reasonable in his responses. Not over promising, but also able to execute what we wanted with minimal headaches and never any pushback. He even met us at SiteOne to go over options and pricing for pavers.

And, the pictures online demonstrated an attention to detail and sophistication that other companies seemed to lack. We wanted to go with a smaller, local company rather than contract out to a larger corporation that charges more simply for name and overhead.

They were able to start within about 3 weeks. Once ground broke, things moved FAST. Incredibly fast. Massive bobcats working straight 8 hours a day fast. As the backyard got rolling and we were happy with the crew and results, we added a new driveway to complete the entire look because it made sense and the team was there and working quickly.

The paver job was excellent. Crisp cuts, sharp lines, imperfections only if you get down on your hands and knees to see. You can see some very faint seams in the artificial turf but it's hardly noticeable unless you're being super critical. One area of turf is slightly rippling near a circular landscape cutout but it's not worth worrying about.

Special shoutout to Eduardo, the foreman, and the crew who showed up every day, worked hard and professionally, without smoking or music or other distraction. All very professional and polite.

Our job was not without its hiccups, however. Any job will have some issues and ours was no different. Daniel's initial quote for dirt removal came up very short for the design we decided on. So, that was an extra charge that FG helped foot the bill for since the initial quote was so low.

Also, and this is probably a good thing, the workers (Eduardo and his crew) go VERY strictly to the plan. I think Daniel could have done a little better job specifying in the planning phase that whatever you approve on the plan WILL be followed, to the foot/inch. Once the backyard came to life it was clear we needed more lights here, the path to be wider here, etc. They are super flexible changing on the fly, but if it will require upcharge they will charge. Fair though.

We contracted them to install a yardistry gazebo as well, and they got the measurements wrong slightly so that the drainage and downspouts didn't line up as we'd intended. Unable to change the location of the massive concrete footers, gazebo, they were able to come up with a creative rerouting of the downspouts that works well.

One of the downspouts leaked all over the driveway after a few weeks on a damp dewy morning, they came by to fix it. At month two a few of the pavers separated on the edges, and they came out to fix it no problem within a week. And, there is a slight separation (like, 1/4 inch) on two of the bricks of the retaining wall but nothing worth worrying about unless it gets worse.

Overall we are very pleased with choosing FG and would recommend them without reservation.

We recently filled in our pool with the plan to completely re-do our backyard. After getting plans/renderings done by Yardzen, we interviewed several contractors and based on our interactions with our eventual project manager Ryan as well as their competetive pricing, we went with FG Pavers for our backyard transformation.

Our project included installation of pavers and rock in our entire backyard and both side yards, drip irrigation and installation of all new plants/trees, the demolition of an existing overhang/balcony and the construction of a new, larger balcony, the construction of a large enclosed walk-in planter box, and integrated lighting. This was the largest home renovation project we've tackled to date, and Ryan and his team (plus the external contractor teams recommended by FG Pavers to do the balcony deck and planter box builds, and the plant/tree installation) were all very courteous, helpful, and available for questions/feedback all along the way. Ryan was always available to provide updates, ask questions of us on our preferences, and provide feedback when we had our own questions that popped up daily.

In the end, our project went as planned, and we are very happy with the results. I am writing this review about 4 months after the work has been completed and we are still really happy with how everything turned out. We would not hesitate to bring FG Pavers back in for our future projects and would definitely recommend them to any of our friends looking to transform their front or back yards.

Eduardo and Hugo were amazing. We redid our backyard and they put in the coolest basketball court around. In addition, they worked thoroughly with us to pick amazing turf to train for soccer.

Their ability to problem solve throughout the process was excellent. We weren't sure about how to level the area and they had the creative idea to just bring the whole area up and forget about keeping the unnecessary slope to the street. We put in a step to the street instead and it was genius of them to think of it (sounds simple but all the folks that bid on the project didn't suggest it).

Last, they have been back out like 4 Times since it ended to help me add sealant and fix my sprinklers.

They go above and beyond. We won't forget them because they haven't forgotten us!!!! We're a FG family for life
