Yardzen connected us with Tony and the team at FG Pavers to help us execute a full yard design - front yard, back yard and both side yards. Tony was incredibly responsive and engaged in the process, providing creative tweaks on the design and install plans after speaking with us about our vision and budget. Our first side yard project was finished in just a few days and it looks fantastic - we ripped out a brick patio and poured new cement, installed landscape rock with drip lines, low-voltage lighting, some grass and over 30 plants! Tony is very hands-on and even helped us arrange pick-up of back-ordered plants from Devil Mountain nursery. The other side yard project was more involved with ripping out an aging deck, leveling and laying pavers and pea pebble. Ryan was the project manager and was very communicative, thorough in the planning and the crew finished the job two days faster than they originally estimated. The whole team was wonderful to work with, very clean, organized and the finished product looks great! We will definitely use Tony and FG Pavers again for our upcoming pergola projects and pavers for the driveway.

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.

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.

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!

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 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 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.
