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.

The surfaces that organize your landscape.

Hardscape design establishes where you walk, gather, and move between outdoor areas. A well-planned patio gives furniture a place, while paths and borders define its relationship to the lawn, pool, and planted beds. Material choice follows those decisions about use and layout.

Look beyond the paving sample.

Patios sized for their purpose

Set the dimensions around dining, seating, or another intended use. Include room for circulation and review the relationship to doorways. A patio design should account for what will sit on it and how people will move around it.

Paths and transitions

Connect the house, gates, lawn, and gathering areas with routes that make sense. Discuss changes in level, edges, and joins with existing surfaces. Those details influence both the appearance and the installation scope.

A coordinated material palette

Compare concrete pavers, travertine, and porcelain beside the house and other selected finishes. Review texture, format, pattern, and product suitability for the proposed location, including exposed areas and poolside use.

Start with levels, access, and the routes through the yard.

Identify the doors, gates, existing patios, and outdoor features the new hardscape needs to connect. Share photos of uneven surfaces, low spots, and places where water collects. The site assessment should inform finished levels and preparation before the paving pattern is finalized.

For a Phoenix property, compare material samples outdoors and discuss their intended application and care. A poolside terrace, a covered dining patio, and a path through planting may place different demands on the selected product. Ask about the exact material proposed rather than assuming every stone or paver performs the same way.

Prepare for your consultation.

Approximate patio and walkway dimensions
Existing surface types and areas to remove
Door thresholds, gates, steps, and drainage concerns
Preferred materials and nearby finishes to coordinate

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

Define the preparation as carefully as the finish.

A hardscape proposal should explain the surface area, material, layout, removal, base preparation, and edge treatment. Discuss water movement and transitions to retained surfaces before installation. If the plan includes a pergola or outdoor kitchen, coordinate its footprint and any required foundations or utility routes with the paving work. These details help keep the finished installation aligned with the overall design.

Hardscape Design in Phoenix: your questions

How is hardscape design different from choosing pavers?

Choosing pavers is one part of the process. Hardscape design also addresses patio size, walkways, circulation, levels, borders, and connections to the house and landscape. The material and laying pattern are selected within that plan.

Which materials can I consider for a Phoenix patio?

DSSG offers concrete pavers, travertine, and outdoor porcelain installation. Compare the appearance, intended use, product specifications, and care requirements for the actual materials proposed. The best fit depends on your design and site rather than one material being right for every patio.

Can new paving connect to an existing patio?

That can be considered during the site assessment. Existing condition, finished height, drainage, and the material transition affect the approach. Share photos and explain which surfaces you want to retain so the proposal addresses the join clearly.

Can hardscape design include the area around an existing pool?

You can discuss poolside paving and how it connects to patios, paths, and lawn. Review material suitability, coping details where applicable, and the boundaries of the work. Any changes to the pool itself should be separately defined rather than assumed to be included in landscape work.

What affects the price of hardscape installation?

Area, access, demolition, base preparation, material choice, pattern, and edge details all affect the estimate. Changes in level or additional drainage work can also change the scope. Request a free project estimate based on the measurements and conditions at your Phoenix property.

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.
