What recent reviews say
Mark, Shane, Chad, Erin, and other named technicians consistently listen to what homeowners need, then deliver results that exceed expectations. They install custom putting greens, dog-friendly turf, and sports fields with visible care for detail-even fixing drain covers or checking sites after heavy rain. Crews show up on time, clean meticulously, and send team leads to oversee projects. One customer struggled with a delayed turf pickup and unresponsive follow-up on a water-retention issue on their green, and noted billing friction when payment method changed mid-project. Management responded to that complaint in person.
The business installs residential and commercial artificial turf across Austin and claims clear pricing. Most reviewers praise the quality-to-price balance, especially through Costco's partnership. A repeat customer has completed three projects with them. Communication shines during the design and installation phases; post-installation responsiveness appears to lag when issues surface.

Common questions
- Can you design a custom putting green for my backyard?
- Yes. Technicians like Mark visit, measure both potential areas, and design for your preferred playing difficulty. Mark's team can also integrate irrigation and complete finish details like drain covers.
- Do you work with Costco?
- Yes. The business is a contractor for both Costco and Home Depot. Costco customers note a reasonable quality-to-price ratio and can purchase materials through Costco, though the company handles installation and service.
- Will the crew clean up after the job?
- Yes. Reviews consistently mention daily site cleanup throughout the project and thorough final cleanup. One crew was praised enough that a neighbor thanked them.
