Artificial Grass Installation in San Rafael, CA

  Jorge met with me to go over my small dog run project. Even though it is a tiny area (under 90 sq ft), he gave me all the time... read more I needed. I had a couple of follow up questions which he responded to promptly. After getting two other quotes, I decided to go with him. Fortunately, he was able to fit my little job in quickly. The crew of three guys came on time. They were professional and respectful of my property and clearly new what they were doing. They had the old concrete patio jacked out and the area dug out in record time. I watched the whole process carefully because I need to know what is under the ground around my foundation! It took them about 7 hours. The site was spotless when they left. The 'grass' looks great and my dogs are happy. I would definitely use them again.

  BTRAG, (Jorge and Gabriel) is a class 1 company! We had a 400+ SF area to do and unlike other companies that would have 1 or 2 people work on... read more project that would take 3/4 days they had a group of 6 guys working all day to ensure the work got done in one day! They had 3 company owned trucks haul dirt/rocks away, bring base rock and all their equipment! Even had their own portable potty!
This was our second project they did and i would recommend them all day long! Prices are very competitive too so that was a BIG plus! Have them work on your turf needs! You wont be disappointed!!

  We want to thank Jorge and Better Than Real AG. He really helped us out with some material for our Teddy Bear Tea at Mill Valley's Outdoor Art Club. That's... read more community spirit in action! Thank you Jorge!

  We have resisted the idea of artificial grass for 12 years, fighting against nature and reality to try to get an 1,100 sqft lawn to stay alive and healthy beneath... read more a redwood canopy. After several friends told us great things about Jorge and his team at Better Than Real, we finally went for it. First, they are extremely professional and reliable, they show up on time, and their bidding process is simple and straightforward. They were able to start our project just days after signing the contract, and they did the entire project in just 3 workdays including their standard process of removing the old lawn, digging down 3", replacing it with based (which they compact with a machine), laying down gopher wire, and then installing the grass. When Jorge came by today for the final walkthrough, he asked me to try to find the seams (the grass comes in 15' wide rolls), but it was impossible to find them. The actual grass product has come a long way in recent years: we went with "Royal," one of their best sellers, which has great color (rich green on top, and brown down toward the "roots" to emulate real grass) and feels comfortable on bare feet/legs. I'm just so happy to look out the window and see a gorgeous, pristine yard that requires no precious water. In conclusion, we are very happy, and I can't wait to give away my lawn mower.

  We had an excellent experience with this company installing artificial grass in our front and back yard.
Jorge gave us an estimate with a fair price and his... read more team were out 3 days later to do the job.
What a pleasant group of 7 men who were professional and accommodating. They cleaned up well and the lawns look amazing.

  I just did my fourth project with Jorge and Gabriel and it turned out perfect! They do such nice work and have such high quality materials. The first project is... read more now about 12 years old, and it looks brand new still. They also gave me a bid that was lower than the other bid by about 35%! So you can tell, I'm a big fan, and I think they are the absolute best in this business. Highly recommended!

  We are so pleased with our new artificial turf and so glad we chose Better Than Real Artificial Grass to install it in our front and backyard. We contacted... read more several companies and acquired quotes. Better Than Real Artificial Grass are the only company that offered both gofer wire and fabric to prevent weeds and insure no gophers, moles or voles poked holes in lawn. From the beginning appointment with Jorge, the process was seamless and their large crew completed the work in about a day and a half. In addition to being thorough, they were conscientious in cleaning up all materials and sand when finished. You will not be disappointed!

  We have done multiple projects on various properties with Jorge and Better Than Real Artificial Grass - 2 front yards, 3 backyards, and a putting green. We could not... read more be happier and highly recommend them. Great customer service and all the work was done in a timely manner. Their crews were great - left everything immaculate.

  We wanted a makeover of our back yard. It was mainly filled with dirt and weeds, with a pool and raised garden beds. We wanted to get some... read more nice artificial grass for our kids to play on. We requested quotes from three companies, including Better Than Real (doing business as Rainbow Landscape). I got in touch with Jorge and he was extremely responsive and showed up when he said he was going to. He offered suggestions and was not pushy at all. We had an old buried concrete curb, which one company didn't want to touch. They originally scheduled us for two days to install. The first day was rained out, so they said they would bring an extra helpers for the second day. They were able to knock it out in one day. They were careful to lay out some tarp so as to protect our front pavers. They did a lot of the little things right too, including replacing our hose nozzle after using it. The only critiques would be to plug back in the pool pump plug (they used the outlet), and some of the workers left some minor trash in our front yard after their lunch. Their final price was very competitive and fair, and it was about $3000 less than another company. They seemed to have more samples to choose from than other companies as well. We would use them again in the future, and just may if we decide to replace the front lawn.

  I was very impressed with Jorge and his entire team. The estimate process was easy, comprehensive, and very price competitive. The back office was prompt with paperwork and next steps.... read more They were able to schedule me within a 2 week window and delivered on their promise of start date. We had a great crew of 6 that worked for 3 straight days and did a marvelous job. Their attention to detail and quality workmanship was very apparent. I highly recommend this company.

  My front yard looks 1,000% better with zero water costs and zero future maintenance. I couldn't be happier with the results they delivered.

  I had a great experience working with Jorge and his team for the installation of a putting green in our backyard. The pricing was very fair, the communication was very... read more prompt and very clear. The contract was descriptive of all the work that would be done. The scheduling was done quickly and on the day of installation, Jorge and his team arrived on-time. They were friendly, efficient and completed the job in one day. We are very happy with our new putting green.

  Outstanding work! Jorge came on Friday and had an excellent plan and estimate in 15 minutes. The price was very reasonable. On Saturday, his crew arrived a t 8 am... read more and had re-contoured and prepared the yard by 3 pm. They returned on Monday, completed the preparation and installed the grass by 4 pm.

We are delighted with the result as is everyone who visits.

  Just had artificial turf installed in my front yard. It is a large area, and quite the investment. We are very happy with the finished project. It... read more took two days -- one for prep of the area and one to lay the turf. Both days were very long for the excellent crew that did the work. They were right on time to start, even after a one day rain delay. The prep was done to perfection and the clean up at the end of each day, was excellent. The second day the turf went down. Where day one was all physical labor, day two was the tedious hands and knees stretching, trimming and seaming the turf followed by adding the infill and lots of brooming and grooming to fluff. Included is a picture of the finished job. I highly recommend Jorge Jimenez and his crew.

  I don't think I could write a better review than the many that have already been written so let me just say that this company and the installers are fantastic!... read more My family and I marvel at our beautiful new lawn/turf daily.
Excellent pricing, fantastically detailed workmanship, and wonderful communication.
A crew of about six guys showed up and had the job finished in one day. They all went above and beyond and completely exceeded my expectations.
(What an excellent, nice, helpful, fun crew you have Jorge! Thank you all).

  Had 160 sq ft of dead turf replaced with artificial grass on 8/19/2021. Guys were on time, did a great installation job (turf tear out, grading, granite layer and... read more tamping it down, framing area with bender board for nailing turf into, installing 2 seams (they are invisible!), raking in the sand and then cleaning up. Only took 3 hours (but the area is pretty small). $15/sq ft quoted which was within range of 2 other quotes I got (except for one at $28/sq ft which was discarded). Highly recommend.
