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.

Room to gather, with space to step away

Your everyday retreat and your entertaining space can share a yard without serving the same purpose. Decide where you want conversation, dining, and a quieter place to sit. Give those areas clear connections while respecting the views and privacy that make your property comfortable.

Plan comfort at the scale of your property

Separate active and quiet spaces

Position cooking and dining where they support hosting, then consider a more sheltered lounge for daily use. Think about sound, proximity to bedrooms, and the routes guests take between outdoor areas.

Frame the outlook from your seating

Place furniture and shade with the view from each seat in mind. Consider what a pergola, kitchen, or taller landscape element will look like from the house before making it a focal point.

Make hospitality practical

Allow room for serving, clearing dishes, and moving around seated guests. Discuss appliance needs and lighting at work surfaces so an attractive outdoor kitchen also supports the way you prepare food.

Work outward from the house

Begin with the rooms and doors that lead into your Paradise Valley yard. The most frequently used seating area benefits from convenient access, while a separate destination can offer more privacy. Discuss the number of people you normally host rather than designing only for an occasional large gathering.

Review shade, furniture placement, and lighting together. If an outdoor kitchen or structure is part of the plan, confirm utility needs and applicable approvals before installation. Material samples and a 3D rendering option can help you evaluate how new features will relate to the existing home.

Prepare for your consultation.

Identify daily seating needs and your usual guest count
Review privacy and sightlines from indoors and outside
Coordinate cooking, serving, dining, and walking space
Confirm shade, lighting, and utility requirements

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

Bring the outdoor rooms into one landscape

Outdoor living design may include a pergola, kitchen, dining terrace, and lighting, with lawn or planting connecting those areas. You can also plan a focused addition to an existing yard. Define the features and finishes in your proposal so the project scope is clear before work begins.

Outdoor Living in Paradise Valley: your questions

Can I have both a quiet lounge and a larger entertaining area?

Start by deciding how each area will be used and how much separation you want. Your available space, views, and routes from the house will guide the arrangement. Furniture placement and the position of cooking areas can help distinguish the uses without dividing the yard unnecessarily.

How do I choose the location for a pergola?

Compare the shade you need at your preferred hours with the views and walking routes you want to preserve. Review the structure in relation to the home, seating, and nearby features. Confirm the requirements that apply to its proposed location and construction.

Should lighting be planned before the patio is installed?

Discuss lighting early so wiring routes and fixture locations can be coordinated with paving and other work. Consider paths and cooking tasks as well as the mood around seating. Early planning reduces the chance of needing to disturb finished surfaces.

Can an outdoor kitchen work with an existing entertaining area?

Review the available footprint, serving route, appliances, and utility access. The kitchen should leave enough space for people to move around it and meet the requirements of the selected equipment. Its finish can then be coordinated with retained paving and nearby features.

How much design detail should I expect before installation?

Confirm the layout, selected features, materials, and included installation work in your proposal. Ask whether drawings or 3D renderings are appropriate for the scope, what they show, and whether they carry a separate fee. Resolve key dimensions and selections before work begins.

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

Joshua Wright

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.
