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.

A clear layout makes the finish choices easier

Decide where you need gathering space and where you need a route through the yard. Then compare paving materials for those specific uses. Defining the layout first helps you select a patio size, path alignment, and border treatment that work together.

Pay attention to where the surfaces meet

Give paths a clear destination

Connect the doors, gates, and outdoor areas you actually use. Review the width and direction of those routes, including any tight points around existing features, before choosing the paving pattern.

Treat edges as part of the design

Plan the transitions between new paving, existing concrete, lawn, and planting beds. Borders and termination details should have a clear purpose and suit the scale of the surrounding area.

Choose a pattern that suits the space

Compare the size and direction of paving units with the patio or walkway footprint. Consider where cuts and borders will occur so a material you like also produces a balanced finished layout.

Look beyond the top surface

On your Glendale property, review the existing surface levels, access, and where water currently collects. Removal and base preparation are part of the installation discussion, along with the visible paving. Any required structural or specialized drainage work should have its scope and responsibilities identified.

Compare samples beside the home and any paving you want to retain. Review the selected product's finish, intended exterior use, and maintenance guidance. Coordinate future lighting, a kitchen, or a shade structure before finalizing the surrounding hardscape.

Prepare for your consultation.

Identify the patios and routes your layout needs
Review how new surfaces will meet retained areas
Compare material samples, paving scale, and border details
Confirm preparation, drainage considerations, and future feature locations

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

Select materials for the complete outdoor setting

Concrete pavers, travertine, and exterior porcelain offer different design possibilities for patios and paths. Compare the specific products and installation requirements for your intended areas. Coordinate the material palette with your house, retained surfaces, and the landscape around the hardscape.

Hardscape Design in Glendale: your questions

What should be decided before selecting a paving material?

Establish where the paved areas go, how they will be used, and how they connect to the house and other features. Review dimensions, existing levels, and drainage considerations. Those decisions help narrow the product and installation options.

Can new paving connect to existing concrete?

Review the condition, elevation, and edge of the retained surface. The transition needs to suit the layout and the installation requirements of the new material. Discuss whether a deliberate border or another transition detail would provide a better finish.

Does the paving pattern affect the design?

The pattern can influence the appearance of a path or patio and the location of cuts and borders. Compare it against the dimensions of your planned area. Ask to see how the layout will end at doors, edges, and changes in direction.

How can I keep a hardscape project from looking too busy?

Compare all selected materials together, including the house and surfaces that remain. A smaller palette with carefully planned borders can provide definition without introducing several unrelated finishes. Use samples to assess the combination before final selections.

What should the hardscape estimate explain?

Confirm the defined areas, products, removal, preparation, and installation details. Review the connections to adjacent surfaces and any drainage considerations. Identify separate work such as lighting, turf, or structural elements so the project boundaries are clear.

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.
