Professional Artificial Turf Installation Services
Discover the seamless quality and durability of our professionally installed artificial turf.
Comprehensive Turf Solutions
Artificial turf has risen in popularity for both residential and commercial properties due to its versatility, aesthetic appeal, and minimal maintenance requirements. As an environmentally friendly alternative to natural grass, it offers consistent beauty without the seasonal changes and resource-intensive upkeep. At FG Pavers and Turf, we primarily work with top brands like Synthetic Grass Warehouse, Tiger Turf, American Syn Turf, Global Syn Turf, Purchase Green, Smart Turf, and a custom creation we contributed to developing, “Summer Gold.” These high-quality options ensure a lush, green landscape that lasts year-round.
Some of the Advantages of Artificial Turf Over Natural Grass
Choosing artificial turf brings numerous advantages, particularly for those seeking a low-maintenance yet beautiful lawn solution. It’s an ideal choice for varied climates and high-traffic areas where maintaining natural grass would be challenging and costly.
Low Maintenance: Eliminates the need for regular mowing, watering, and fertilizing.
Water Conservation: Requires no watering, making it eco-friendly and perfect for drought-prone areas.
Year-Round Green: Maintains a lush, green appearance regardless of weather conditions.
Eco-Friendly: Artificial turf reduces mowing and blowing, cutting CO2 emissions. For instance, an hour of mowing equals the emissions of driving 350 miles.
Durability: Withstands heavy use without wear and tear, ideal for sports fields and playgrounds.
Allergy Reduction: Provides a hypoallergenic landscape surface that reduces common grass allergies.
Cost-Effective: Long-term savings on water bills, lawn care products, and gardening services.
Pest-Free: Artificial grass minimizes pest problems by eliminating their preferred conditions. Without easy access to water and organic materials found in soil, it effectively deters infestations.

Our Step-by-Step Installation Process
- 1Site Preparation: We start by excavating 4 inches below final grade and installing a weed fabric to prevent the mixing of native soil with the aggregate subbase, ensuring stability.
- 2Drainage System: If necessary, drain pipes are installed in low spots to manage water flow effectively.
- 3Subbase Installation: We then lay and compact 3 inches of 3/4″ crushed drain rock or baserock, depending on project type, slope, and soil conditions. This is followed by leveling and compacting 1/4″ x dust or decomposed granite to complete the aggregate subbase.
- 4Turf Installation: The turf is rolled out, precisely cut to fit, and secured along the edges with galvanized nails, which prevent rust and facilitate future adjustments if necessary.
- 5Finishing Touches: We seam the turf using turf-specific adhesive and finish by power brooming the fibers vertically. An antimicrobial infill is applied to help the turf stay upright and prevent mold, mildew, and weeds.

Scroll through the reviews below to see what people are saying about FG Pavers and Turf.
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 wanted to remove our big lawn and replace it with a low maintenance yard. We worked with Tony, Eddy and his crew and they were able to transform our tired lawn into a beautiful zen rock garden. They had a big crew with all the equipments to complete the project quickly. They went above and beyond to keep everything tidy and to avoid damage to our front yard as they brought the equipments to our backyard. The prep work was meticulous with Tony helping us with the landscape design and choosing the right materials. We appreciated the follow up by Eddy to make sure every details were perfect. We asked Tony a lot of questions before starting our landscape project to ensure they were the right crew to get what we wanted done. They certainly delivered. We are enjoying our new backyard! Thank you Tony, Eddy and Team at FG Pavers and Turf.

Recently I hired FG Pavers & Turf for our backyard remodel project. Fist Hugo assessed my requirements very carefully, worked on the estimate and provided a quote on the same visit. The estimate was very attractive compared to others. The initial project was to install pavers, build a pergola patio cover and backyard landscaping. The crew namely Oscar, Brian (Pavers, Landscaping, & Outdoor Kitchen) , Luis, Mike (Pergola Patio Covers), and the project manager, Ryan were very professional, courteous, and always cleaned up after themselves. I'm incredibly impressed with the quality of the work. The pavers look fantastic, and the pergola is sturdy and beautifully built. Also, it is worth mentioning that they were very accommodative to add, make changes to the original plan, get appropriate city permits (Pergola and outdoor gas line) etc. That really helped me to add an outdoor Kitchen afterwards. I highly recommend FG Pavers & Turf for any backyard remodel projects. They are true professionals who take pride in their work.

FG pavers did a wonderful job on our front yard landscaping. Very professional. Skilled and conscientious workers. Good communication throughout the project. I had no concept of the amount of prep work and excavation involved before getting to the point of the actual turf and paver stone install. These guys definitely knew what they were doing, working hard and steady throughout. I would definitely use them again for any future work we have done, and I would recommend FG pavers to anyone looking to have a landscaping project done right. Thank you Nick, Dan and all the workers for bringing our vision to life.
Bill Whitney, Livermore, CA
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 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
Urszula T., Danville, CA
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.
Ivan K., Tracy, CA
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.
Shanna Vasquez, Google Review
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
