Landscape Design and Installation Services

Looking at the backyard now, it's difficult to imagine how big of a mess it was prior to FG's hard work. The crew worked hard almost every weekday (when the break in rain permitted) for two weeks to transform a rocky, barren landscape into a green oasis. Our furry companions now happily frolick through the yard every chance they get (and wait at the patio doors to go outside when indoors).

From day one, the entire team has been very responsive in all aspects and communication was one of the elements I was most appreciative of. It was an easy decision to work with FG given that and their attention to detail -- from the initial design, to every brick laid for the border.

Although it was not a cheap yard project, it was most definitely worth the costs. We would highly recommend reaching out to FG Pavers & Turf for any lawn transformations!

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.

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!

FG Pavers & Turf did an incredible job on my small backyard and side yard landscaping. Hugo, the main point of contact, guided me through the entire process with exceptional professionalism. We began the booking process in early April, and from signing the contract to starting the project, it took about a month.

Hugo flawlessly brought my vision to life by adding a small putting green and stepping stones. The project's overall cost was competitive for the high quality delivered. Fernando, the on-site leader, was transparent and respectful, managing his team efficiently. He always consulted me for any detail-related questions, ensuring everything was done to my preference.

Hugo promised the project would take 8 consecutive days, and true to his word, it was completed right on schedule. As a bonus, he gifted me three mini putters and golf balls for the putting green. From the outset, I was confident in FG Pavers & Turf's quality, and they exceeded my expectations. Every detail was meticulously handled, with no visible errors.

I'm extremely satisfied with both the experience and the quality of work. I can confidently say that FG Pavers & Turf is the go-to company for all landscaping needs. Hugo was a consummate professional, providing competitive pricing, addressing my concerns, and reassuring me that my vision was achievable in a small space. He maintained clear communication throughout, with regular check-ins both in person and via text to ensure everything was progressing perfectly.

FG Pavers re-landscaped our front yard and most of our backyard in August 2023. I've waited to write a review to make sure the installation stood the test of time (at least a short time), and met my expectations (mostly, cut down on the ever-present weeds). SPOILER: YES!!! I was skeptical of pavers having seen paved areas in other's yards years ago and they were always uneven, falling apart, and full of weeds. But in talking though my concerns with Ryan, I was convinced that it was best way to go. I worked with Hugo on design. I mostly knew what I wanted, and Hugo was easy to work with. Both he and Ryan had great input on areas I wasn't sure about. Ryan went out of his way to bring me samples of materials so I could be sure of my choices. The work crew, headed by Danny, showed up on time every day and worked HARD! I was amazed at how fast the work went. Paver walkways were installed through the front yard, a couple planting areas were added, and different types of rock were placed everywhere else. In the backyard FG installed a section of no-mow grass, a section of rock, and a raised planting bed. We had a couple of minor issues with materials going in the wrong places, but they were resolved quickly with no fuss. FG and their wonderful people did an excellent job and I highly recommend them.

We selected FG pavers for our landscaping project after an extensive search which included hearing how they could make our Yardzen design come to life.

The FG pavers team was very organized in the initial phase of the project and very helpful in adjusting our plans based on our budget, etc. Overall, they moved the project along relatively quickly, even in the face of supply chain and weather related issues.

As is often the case with any contracting project, there were frustrations and some miscommunications along the way. Some things needed to be redone. But here's the critical difference between FG and other companies: Frank, Erik and team went above and beyond to make sure every issue was rectified in a professional manner. They always demonstrated the utmost class and were always calm and respectful. Frank and team clearly have a high standard when it comes to customer satisfaction. They do what's right to make it right!

Thank you FG Pavers for creating a space we are excited to use for many years to come.

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 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.

We were referred to FG Pavers and Turf by Yardzen and we could not be happier. While we interviewed a number of contractors, we knew immediately that this was the company we would be working with. Ryan, the project manager, was one of the main reasons. He was amazing to work with due to his timely, comprehensive communications. One would expect that this level of customer service would result in outrageous pricing. This was not the case. The overall project cost was competitive and completely reasonable. When it came time to install, the process was seamless with Danny as the installation lead. They were able to complete our yard ahead of schedule and it looks even better than the Yardzen renderings.
