I highly recommend Brick Lawn Landscaping. They were AMAZING start to finish. They removed all our dead sod from 3 dogs and installed turf and it looks fantastic. Job was done on time, did everything perfect, great communication, went over everything and at a great price too!

Ben and his team were professional, reliable, and did an excellent job. Ben paid close attention to the details, communicated well throughout the project, and made sure everything was done right. We’re very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them!

Had Ben and his crew replace a 10' x 10' patio that had slumped/ sunk after some concrete work done. The finished result was very nice, level and clean looking. Very happy with result. Did the job in just over one day. I would have them do any stone work for me in the future.

Common questions

Good turf doesn't. Several green tones, brown thatch underneath, different blade shapes. We bring samples so you can see it in daylight.

Common, and often the best answer. Turf the problem areas, keep the grass where it grows well, clean edge between them.

Warmer than grass on a hot afternoon, like a deck is. Shade helps and a rinse cools it in seconds.

It's a trade-off. You lose some living surface. You also stop watering all summer and stop putting fertiliser and weed spray in the ground.

Fifteen minutes in your yard.

Sun, drainage, traffic, how you use the space. You get a straight answer and one written price, and sometimes the answer is to keep the grass.
