What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently report punctual, professional teams that deliver high-quality artificial turf installations with meticulous attention to detail and site cleanup. The owner-operators Dave and Jesse are named repeatedly for communication and problem-solving, though one 2022 complaint alleges unresolved warranty and pricing disputes left a yard partially unusable.

Service centers on artificial turf for residential backyards and commercial patios, with experience in dog runs, putting greens, and rubber surfacing. Reviewers call pricing competitive and fair relative to quality, and many report hiring them again or referring friends. The business states it has operated over 25 years serving the GTA.
