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 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

I contacted FG Pavers to build a concrete deck in my backyard. Erik did thorough analysis, he even provided options between concrete and pavers. Finally we decided to go with Pavers. Erik continued to work closely with me to review different options to help me decide the best as well as the most affordable option. I had read on Yelp reviews that FG Pavers pricing is on the higher side, but their quote was actually better than one of the other contractors. After the plan was finalized, Danny and team completed the work in a quick time time. Ryan provided daily updates and stayed involved whenever there was any change in the plan. I felt very comfortable working with them if I were to undertake any other deck/pergola project in the backyard, I'll hire them again. I highly recommend them.

We had an excellent experience with F.G Pavers, particularly working with Ryan. Our project was a small paving job in the front yard, and from the initial inspection and estimate to the completion of the work, Ryan stayed in touch and ensured everything went smoothly. I also want to give a special shout out to the construction team, led by Saul, for their meticulous attention to detail. We're very pleased with the outcome!

We had a chance to work with Frank’s team on phase 1 of our backyard remodel. The process from start to finish was extremely smooth with clear communication and great collaboration. The workers and staff did a great job, maintaining clear communication and involving us in decisions. We are thrilled with the work and it lets us fully enjoy our outdoor space for our kids and dog! Can’t wait for phase 2. Thanks to Frank and the team!

We had a wonderful experience with FG Pavers and Turf. They remodeled our entire front and back yard - adding a lot of hardscaping, driveway expansion, low water & low maintenance plants. Pricing was reasonable and everyone we worked with really went above and beyond to make sure everything turned out perfectly. Daniel was able to make a great design and estimate, slightly tweaking what we got from Yardzen to make it work in our space. Antonio our foreman was here everyday making continuous progress; he was easy to communicate with and had a lot of good ideas that he implemented on his own. Ryan the Project manager had timely communication, provided proposed solutions to various questions and was present as much as possible to track progress. I highly recommend their services!

I recently had the pleasure of working with FG Pavers and Turf for my landscaping project, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with their work. From start to finish, they exceeded all my expectations. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and passion for their craft truly set them apart.

Not only was the quality of their work exceptional, but their communication and customer service were also outstanding. Our project was quite unique since our backyard didn't have proper drainage. Adding a sump pump has truly paid off during the winter and fall season.

During the summer my artificial turf would wrinkle and FG Pavers and Turf and team were always willing to cover the repairs.

If you're looking for a landscaping contractor who delivers top-notch results with professionalism and integrity, look no further then . I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking to enhance their outdoor space. Thank you, Frank, for an amazing experience!

We were referred to FG Pavers via the Yardzen service. Not only were FG Pavers the only ones that responded to our backyard project request, but they were professional, courteous and got the job done right. Tony (the designer and project manager) was extremely patient as we worked through the decision process and helpful in clarifying pros/cons with the material choices. From project start to completion the team was prompt and responsive to changes. In the final walkthrough, they accommodated all of our concerns quickly (some minor fixes needed). We're very happy with our new backyard -- it's so much cleaner, exactly what we wanted! And Tony's lighting design was just icing on the cake.
