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.

Let the way you gather guide the layout

Think about an ordinary meal outside and the gatherings you enjoy hosting. Where does everyone sit, how is food served, and which routes need to stay open? Those details help determine the patio footprint and the features that will make the space comfortable to use.

Create outdoor areas that share the space well

Keep furniture out of the walking route

Position a dining table or lounge so people can move between the house and yard without crossing through occupied seating. Check chair clearance and door access before the paved area is finalized.

Give shade a specific job

Choose the area you want to shade and the hours you expect to use it. Compare a pergola location with the seating arrangement and the view from the house rather than treating the structure as a separate addition.

Make room for cooking and serving

An outdoor kitchen needs practical space around appliances and work surfaces. Plan where food is prepared, where guests gather, and how dishes return to the house so the kitchen supports the whole entertaining area.

Test the arrangement before choosing every feature

For your Glendale project, bring furniture dimensions and photos of the doors and patio that lead into the yard. Consider whether one flexible area can support several activities or whether you want separate dining and lounge spaces. Discuss your usual guest count and the parts of the yard you use most.

Review lighting and any kitchen or structure requirements alongside the layout. Utility routes, equipment clearances, and installation access can influence where features belong. Confirm applicable approvals and property requirements during planning, before surrounding surfaces are completed.

Prepare for your consultation.

Describe how you relax, dine, and host outside
Measure planned furniture and check the main walking routes
Review shade goals at your preferred hours of use
Coordinate lighting, equipment needs, and utility preparation

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

Bring comfort and materials into the same plan

Your outdoor living area may include a pergola, a kitchen, paving, and landscape lighting. The surrounding lawn or planting should also relate to the gathering spaces. Define the selected features and finishes together so the project feels considered as a whole and the installation scope is clear.

Outdoor Living in Glendale: your questions

Can one outdoor area work for dining and lounging?

Compare the furniture footprints and the way you want to use the area. A flexible arrangement can work when there is enough room for movement and the main route remains clear. If both activities happen at the same time, a more distinct layout may be useful.

How should I decide which outdoor features to include?

Start with your most common activities and the available space. Prioritize comfortable seating, useful shade, and a layout that works with your home. Add a kitchen or other feature when its purpose, dimensions, and cost fit the overall plan.

Can you improve outdoor living without rebuilding the entire yard?

A focused patio, pergola, or kitchen project may address your main goal. Review the surrounding surfaces and access so the addition connects well to what remains. If later work is likely, include it in the planning discussion.

Should landscape lighting be part of the initial design?

Plan the routes and activities you want to light before installation is complete. Discuss task lighting around cooking areas and light for walking paths as well as the atmosphere around seating. Early coordination helps identify wiring routes and suitable fixture locations.

Can I compare a layout before committing to installation?

Ask about the design drawings or 3D rendering options appropriate for your project. Confirm what the deliverables show, any revision allowance, and whether there is a separate design fee. Use that process to resolve key dimensions and feature locations.

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

🌿 🙌 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.
