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 place for an ordinary evening and a full table

Your outdoor space should feel useful even when you are not hosting. Start with a comfortable everyday arrangement, then consider how it accommodates guests. A well-proportioned patio, the right shade placement, and room to move can make dining and relaxing outside easier.

Make the everyday details work

Put seating where you will use it

Review the route from your back door and the times you prefer to sit outside. Keep a convenient place for everyday use, and compare how sun exposure and nearby activity affect its comfort.

Give cooking and conversation room

Place an outdoor kitchen where the cook can remain part of the gathering while guests have space to move. Allow for appliance doors, preparation surfaces, and the route between cooking and dining.

Keep the yard connected after sunset

Discuss lighting for steps, paths, and food preparation along with softer light around seating. Plan fixture and control locations early so lighting fits the layout and can be coordinated with installation.

Plan around the hours you spend outside

For your Peoria outdoor living project, explain when you typically use the yard and what you want that time to look like. Morning coffee, an evening meal, and a weekend gathering may call for different seating or shade arrangements. Discuss the furniture you already own before settling on the patio dimensions.

Compare the kitchen, pergola, and lighting plans before any surrounding paving is finished. Utility access and the requirements of the selected appliances or structure can affect the layout. Confirm applicable approvals and any HOA requirements as part of planning your specific project.

Prepare for your consultation.

Describe your everyday routine and usual guest count
Share furniture sizes and the appliances you are considering
Review sun exposure where you want seating and dining
Coordinate lighting, utilities, and construction access

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

Choose features that support the same layout

A pergola, dining patio, and outdoor kitchen should each have a clear place in the design. You may also want lawn or planting around them to keep the yard balanced. Start with the overall arrangement, then confirm the selected features, finishes, and installation work in the proposal.

Outdoor Living in Peoria: your questions

Do I need an outdoor kitchen to create an outdoor living area?

Comfortable seating, a usable patio, and suitable shade may be your main priorities. Add a kitchen if it supports how you cook and entertain. Discuss the layout first so each selected feature earns its place in the project.

How can a patio work for both a couple and a larger gathering?

Plan the everyday furniture arrangement first, with a clear route through the space. Then consider where additional seating could go when you host. The footprint should support both uses without requiring a permanent setup that overwhelms the yard.

Can a pergola be added to an existing outdoor living space?

Review the proposed location, the existing surface, and the structure's installation requirements. Shade goals, furniture placement, and connections to the home should guide the layout. Confirm any preparation or approvals needed before the work begins.

When should I choose outdoor kitchen appliances?

Identify the equipment you want early enough to plan dimensions, clearances, and utility needs. Final selections can affect the kitchen footprint and installation requirements. Confirm the selected models and what is included in the project before construction.

What should I bring to the first outdoor living discussion?

Bring photos of your Peoria yard, a list of activities you want to support, and your budget range. Include furniture or appliance dimensions if available. You can also share portfolio images that show the materials or atmosphere you prefer.

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.
