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.

Replace piecemeal changes with one clear plan

A yard can accumulate several different surfaces and unused corners over time. Before adding another feature, consider which parts belong in the finished space. Your renovation can simplify the layout, improve the connections to the house, and give the materials a consistent direction.

Focus the renovation on the changes you will notice

Make the main patio more useful

Review how the patio works with your doors, furniture, and walking routes. Extending or reshaping the usable area may give you more comfortable seating without requiring a new gathering space elsewhere in the yard.

Reconsider leftover areas

A narrow strip of lawn or an isolated patch of paving may no longer have a useful role. Discuss whether it should become planting, a clearer route, or part of a larger open area that suits your daily routine.

Coordinate the work around retained features

An existing pool, shade structure, or established planting can shape the renovation. Identify what stays and how it connects to new surfaces, including the access and protection needed during installation.

FINISHED DSSG PROJECTS

These completed DSSG projects from our Phoenix Valley portfolio show how lawn, paths, patios, and gathering areas can work together. Use them to identify ideas for your own renovation.

Take stock of your Glendale yard

Start with photos of the entire backyard, including side access and the areas closest to your house. Point out surfaces you want removed, features you want retained, and places where the current layout feels awkward. Include your budget range so the conversation can prioritize the changes that matter most.

Discuss preparation before settling on the visible finishes. Removal, drainage, irrigation changes, and access can affect the sequence of work. If your project will happen in phases, plan how later installation will reach the remaining areas without unnecessarily disturbing completed surfaces.

Prepare for your consultation.

Identify additions or surfaces that no longer serve the yard
Mark the features and planting you want to retain
Share access details, current photos, and budget priorities
Review preparation and the order of planned improvements

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

Connect the renovation to your larger design goals

Your project could combine patio improvements with synthetic grass, lighting, or a pergola. An outdoor kitchen or a second seating area may also fit the overall plan. Confirm the selected work and exclusions in your proposal, and ask about design or 3D rendering options when the arrangement needs further exploration.

Backyard Renovation in Glendale: your questions

Can a renovation bring several existing surfaces together?

Review the condition and elevation of each surface first. Some may be suitable to retain, while others may need removal to support the new layout. A coordinated material choice and deliberate transitions can help the retained and new areas feel related.

Is it better to renovate the whole yard at once?

Compare the complete scope with your budget and the preparation each part requires. Some work benefits from being coordinated, while other features can be planned for a later phase. Ask how staging affects access, unfinished edges, and any preparation needed beneath new surfaces.

Can you work with a yard that already has a pool?

The surrounding layout can be planned around an existing pool. Review the decking, routes, elevations, and connections to the rest of the yard. Clarify any pool construction or repair work separately so responsibilities and exclusions are clear.

How do I choose between more paving and more lawn?

Consider the activities each area needs to support. Furniture and dining need an appropriate surface and enough clearance, while an open lawn area may serve a different purpose. Discuss upkeep and access alongside appearance before deciding on the balance.

What should I provide for a Glendale renovation estimate?

Share the property address, current photos, your main priorities, and a budget range. Include any available plans or HOA requirements. Ask which design details are included in the estimate and whether separate drawings or visualization would be useful for your scope.

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.
