They helped us pick a turf that would better suit our needs and were done with the work in 2 days. Everything looks amazing and I will absolutely be using them for future projects.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were looking for a landscape design and construction service for the backyard of our new home in Phoenix.  My wife found Diamond Stone & Synthetic Grass online, with good reviews, so we decided to get a quote from them.  The project manager, DANIEL, responded and did the measurement for our backyard.  He explained to us the materials and the labors.  And the most importantly, the grading to direct water out of the backyard and away from the foundation of the house. In the same afternoon, he sent us the quote, the detail measurement, and the selections of materials.  The quote is much better than what we expected, so we decided to hire them for this project.

While the construction is ongoing, Daniel always kept us updated.  We asked a lot of questions during the process, to prevent mistakes caused by misunderstanding.  Daniel and his team always responded in a timely manner.  The whole team is knowledgeable, friendly, and patient.  They took care of the questions and issues we brought up, and the project ends up awesome.  When I saw the outcome, I have nothing else to say but WOW.  There was a tiny hiccough that the paver was too close to the gate, causing it hard to close.  Once we brought it to Daniel's attention, his team showed up in two days and fixed it.  How can we not appreciate a team taking care of problems so quickly?

We are very happy that we chose DSSG to do our backyard.

I met with so many different companies, but knew almost immediately I’d go with them because of how Daniel communicated and made me feel confident in their work. The crew was very quick and professional as well. We got new turf installed and it looks amazing! Even after it was done, they have been communicating with me all the way. Great service and reasonable prices.

Keep the cook part of the gathering.

Plan outdoor kitchens around the way you want to use your Scottsdale property.

Build the layout around your cooking routine.

Preparation and serving space

Think through what happens before and after food reaches the grill. Counter areas should support the ingredients, trays, and serving items you use, with the equipment layout considered before the island dimensions are finalized.

Seating with room to move

If you want a bar counter, account for occupied stools and the route behind them. Keep the serving area, cooking activity, and path to the house easy to understand so the kitchen does not become a bottleneck.

Materials seen up close

Review the counter, island finish, and nearby paving together. The surfaces should suit the intended outdoor use and the appearance of your home. Ask for the specific materials and finish details to be included in the proposal.

Make the kitchen part of your Scottsdale backyard plan.

Sketch the route from your indoor kitchen to the proposed outdoor cooking area. Consider carrying food, putting dishes down, and serving a group once the seats are occupied. A practical layout can leave space for conversation without putting the main walking route through the preparation area.

Share your appliance preferences before committing to a kitchen shape. Openings, clearances, storage, and utility requirements vary with the selected equipment. If you also want shade, lighting, or a new patio, include those features in the early design discussion so their placement supports the kitchen.

Prepare for your consultation.

Your preferred cooking equipment and model details
Preparation, serving, seating, and storage priorities
The route to your indoor kitchen and outdoor table
Shade, lighting, and utility needs to review

Ask about 3D landscape renderings when you want to discuss the proposed appearance before installation.

Confirm the equipment and utility responsibilities.

A kitchen proposal should identify the island footprint, counter and finish materials, equipment allowances, and included installation work. Ask which appliances are supplied, how utility needs will be reviewed, and which connections or specialty trades require a separate arrangement. The written scope should make those boundaries clear.

Outdoor Kitchens in Scottsdale: your questions

Should I select the grill before the kitchen layout is finalized?

Provide the model information as early as possible. Appliance dimensions and manufacturer requirements affect the openings, clearances, and surrounding construction. Confirm the selected equipment before the installation details are agreed.

Can an outdoor kitchen include a seating counter?

Discuss how many people you want to seat and the space around the occupied stools. The design should consider the relationship between seating, cooking, serving, and the main walking route through your patio.

Can the kitchen be planned with a new pergola?

Yes. Review the kitchen location and the intended shade structure together, including the equipment requirements and circulation. Ask the team how the proposed features and any specialist work would be coordinated.

Are appliances and utility connections included?

Inclusions depend on the written proposal. Ask which appliances, allowances, installation work, and utility connections are covered, and which items are supplied by you or handled through another trade. Confirm these details before proceeding.

What photos help with an outdoor kitchen consultation?

Send views from the house, the proposed cooking location, existing paving, and the routes into the yard. Add your appliance list, seating goals, approximate budget, and any known access constraints so the discussion can address your actual property.

My husband and I are so happy with the work that was done on my yard. In the backyard I had pavers put in around my porch. In the front yard I had turf, driveway extension and paver boarder installed. They show up on time and did a beautiful job, my yard looks like a work of art. I had what I wanted pictured in my head, Mike and his team brought it to life. They also did an excellent job cleaning up afterwards since the demo made a big mess. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for quality work, great communication every step of the way and friendly knowledgeable service. They also helped with my nightmare of an HOA which took a lot of stress off of me! I would give 10 stars if I could.

We got a few different quotes and went with them because they were confident in a variety of different projects we needed done in our backyard. We added Turf, retaining wall, and pavers. They ended up adding some much needed drainage as well. Everything was done quickly and we’re very happy with all their work, will be using them again for the front yard

Detail oriented, quick turn around times and quality work. Very pleased with the work they did.

🌿 🙌 This company truly stands out for their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care for the community. I was so impressed with how accommodating their hours are—when I called on a Saturday, I was immediately connected with Mike, a very friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous professional in the landscaping industry. Mike took the time for an immediate phone consultation and advice to clearly explain their process and service offerings. He not only provided details on procedures, pricing, and even shared a link to the supplier of the cleaning products they use. 😊🌍 If you’re looking for a landscaping company that combines professionalism with genuine concern for the people they serve, I highly recommend them! 🙌 🌿

Diamond Stone did an exceptional job on our backyard. We had quotes from a few companies and this company gave us the most competitive price and spent the most time talking about different options with the yard. Communication was consistent throughout the whole process, and Daniel was an awesome project manager. The crew working on the yard were top notch as well. There was one hiccup with the wrong sized rocks being sent, but Daniel handled it and quickly resolved the issue. I would definitely recommend Diamond Stone.

We are beyond thrilled with the transformation of our Arcadia backyard by Diamond Stone & Synthetic Grass! We recently had them install a combination of synthetic grass, rock, and pavers, and the results are absolutely stunning. My husband handled the initial arrangements, and from the very first call, the experience was seamless. The team was incredibly responsive and genuinely cared about the vision we had for our project. During the entire project they were attentive to every detail, which gave us a lot of confidence moving forward. The installation crew was equally impressive. It was clear they were experienced and used to working together—they were efficient, careful, and knocked out the project quickly without sacrificing quality. We’ve got some work to do to fill the planters with Desert Steel cacti but check out the photos! The best part? Seeing our grandsons finally able to run around and play. Before this, they weren't even allowed in the backyard because it was just dirt. Now, it’s a beautiful, functional space where we’ve spent the last few weeks entertaining and enjoying our family in a whole new way. Thank you, Diamond, for giving us a backyard we truly love!

Mike and his team did an excellent job landscaping our backyard. The scheduling, consultation, work, final walkthrough, and payment process was seamless. We had artificial turf, paverstone walkway, paverstone outdoor living area, and gravel installed. Everything is clean, symmetrical, level, and eye catching. Mike and his crew also left a clean worksite when the job was done. Highly recommend Diamond Stone and Synthetic Grass.
