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.
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.

Testimonials
Scroll through the reviews below to see what people are saying about FG Pavers and Turf.
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.

Great service from start to the end of the job. Tony and team were extremely patient and professional and did a great job in our backyard. Definitely recommend !

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.
Aman S., Lafayette
TL;DR: friendly, personable, quick service and high integrity company. Highly recommended.
Longer story: I moved into a new house that had used Frank for their backyard renovation. The quality of the work done was something that actually drew us to the house and was one of the deciding factors to purchase. Once we moved in we noticed a bump in the turf. I reached out to Frank and he sent out a crew who uncovered a massive mushroom, made sure the area was completely clean, flat and back to original shape then spent time tirelessly ensuring that the turf was put back together exactly how it was.
I was so impressed with the work and will recommend FG to anyone who's looking for a company to work with.
Nicholas S., Pleasanton, CA
Fantastic! We hired FG Pavers and Turf about a year ago to redo our entire backyard. The team did a great job with the vision we had. They were professional and accommodating as we had the pool contractors and FG working at the same time. From when we look at our little oasis, the time and money we spent was well worth it because I know that my love ones will cherish the memories we've made! I highly recommend FG Pavers and Turf, we are so glad we went with them! Thanks Frank, Hugo, and Eduardo for all the hard work! You guys made the experience well worth it!
Abraham B., Yelp Review
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 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 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 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.

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.
