Customer Reviews: Riverside California

If you haven't already, check out GST's Riviera and S blade series. It's some of the best turf on the market at the moment and you won't find much better in the same price bracket. These guys helped me scale my company 10 fold and I'm so glad I went with their turf. It sells out extremely quick here so I always need to restock on a constant basis. Their order processing team is quick to respond and can get my orders in ASAP, often times the same day which is very efficient. Overall a solid company, would highly recommend trying their S blade and RM series.

It took forever to find a reliable turf supplier especially during this pandemic. I used to buy from a few smaller suppliers but recently they've been very inconsistent with their inventory so I decided to give GST a try. My first impression was that every transaction was very smooth and never had any issues. It definitely took me by surprise because I was so used to putting up with inconsistencies in my day to day operations that I never saw it as a big issue. Now that I've had the GST experience, I'm never going back, it was just way too much headache dealing with unreliable suppliers.

Can someone help me get artificial turf and accessories in Bakersfield.  Global Syn Turf was my company.  After calling no less than 20 different companies I found Global Syn-Turf that answered their phone on the very first ring.  I told them my conundrum that I could not find artificial turf and accessories in Bakersfield, CA.  They immediately put me in contact with their artificial turf distributor in Bakersfield.  Global Syn Turf said they are a manufacturer and don't sell direct to the public.  I called the dealer in Bakersfield and they too picked up the phone in one ring.  They told me they have stock of artificial turf and accessories and to come down and take a look for they would have samples shipped to my home.  I went in to their store and they had a very nice display rack with 10 different artificial turf, a artificial ivy sample key ring, a very nice menu of accessories and boxes and boxes of free samples.  I spoke with the representative there and he referred to two different installers name in the area that would give me a free quote to install my artificial turf.  I got a bid and hired the contractor, bought my turf from the Bakersfield dealer.  They delivered my artificial turf in one day and the installation began.  I want to thank Global Syn Turf for being a real company with real service.

I am an engineer by trade in the Bay Area and I can be a little demanding in the products and services I receive.  I wanted to put artificial turf in my side yard so as usual I did an extensive amount of research.  I found a company called Global Syn Turf that is headquartered here in the greater bay area.  They are a manufacturer of artificial grass and ivy, but also sell the accessories need for an install.  Their website was very impressive and gave me so much information about artificial turf.  99% of all the artificial turf websites out there have little to no real content.  The Global Syn Turf website offered me many different pictures of each one of their artificial turf skus and there had to be at least 25.  As I found out they actually research and design all of the artificial turf they make.  I also found out they are fully integrated which means they make their own yarn, extrude their own yard, tuft the yarn into the back and coat the backing.  They manufacturer the process beginning to end and don't rely on anyone else.  The website also posts full Specification Sheets and all the tests you can imagine for the turf.  They even have a test that shows the turf is Lead and Heavy Metal Free.  I know this has been a big issue for artificial turf in the past according to my research and they have the test right there for you to see.  Global Syn Turf does not sell direct so they referred me to a distributor that was close to my house who took great care of me.  I want to give Global Syn Turf a thumbs up for being a complete company.

I've been around in the landscaping industry for well over a decade and I can confidently say that GST offers some of the best turf out there. I find that they have the best balance of high quality and low pricing, which is really all it comes down to at the end of the day. It's hard to find quality of the same level for cheaper and even if you do, they'll most likely be a smaller supplier with inconsistent inventory. I also love how they have locations all over the US since my company has branches on the east coast as well. Big vouch from me.

I was traveling a few weeks ago and saw this artificial ivy at a restaurant I was at and loved it.  When I came home from my trip I googled artificial ivy and found Global Syn Turf and saw their artificial ivy.  They have 6 different types to choose from.  2 are bigger and 4 are a bit smaller.  I have samples sent to my home for my review.  The 2 larger ones are large leafs and a little more sturdy.  However I didn't think they looked as real.  The smaller ones were more of what I was looking for.  I really liked the Hawthorn Hedge and its color.   I hung the pieces on my back fence and looked at them and confirmed I liked the Hawthorn Hedge and called Global Syn Turf to order 400 square feet of the ivy and they told me they were the manufacturer and only sold through distributors.  They referred me to their dealer her in Los Angeles.  I went down to their showroom and saw the ivy on the walls and confirmed even more the Hawthorn Hedge is what I liked.  I placed an order and took it home with me.  Now the ivy is on my chain link fence and it was so easy to install and creates so much privacy from my neighbors.   I want to thank Global Syn Turf and their beautiful ivy.

I reached out to GST early 2019 and became a distributing partner. We have a few chain locations across the US so we wanted to find a supplier that had that same nationwide presence. Luckily, GST also has a lot of locations all over the US so we were able to get the turf we needed on a consistent basis. GST is also fairly large (maybe even the biggest) so scaling will never be an issue when it comes to growing our business. Overall I love the turf that you guys offer and hope to see what's in store for the future.

In my opinion, GST is a decent supplier for turf and turf accessories. I never have any major issues using their business but if I were to improve one thing, it would be to add more putting greens. My company focuses mainly on golfing fields and accessories so I would like to have more selection to choose from. Not that 3 is a little, but in my eyes a 5 star is perfection and I think GST will be there soon when more putting greens are added to their arsenal.

The turf from GST has always been my favorite due to how easy it is to install. Most of the clients I work with don't even need a professional installer unless they have no experience with turf at all. Looking through the previous reviews, it's pretty clear that they have a huge selection to choose from, probably even the biggest on the market at the moment. When I order from GST, I never get insecure feelings about not being able to find the right grass for the right job. I just know they'll have whatever I need and that I'll be taken care of by their team. 5 stars from me.

I want to thank Global Syn Turf for not putting pressure on me to have my turf installed.  I just wanted to buy artificial turf and have my gardener install it to save some money.   Global Syn Turf had no problem with this because they do not install artificial turf they only sell it through their dealers.  Global Syn Turf referred me to their artificial turf installer for Orange County, CA.  They were very professional and very proficient in their work.  Paul and his crew were very professional and always on time.  I want to give Global Syn Turf and their artificial turf dealer Paul and his crew for a job well done.  I gave them four out of five stars for the professionalism and expertise of the work they do.  Thanks again.

I want to thank Global Syn Turf and their artificial turf distributor here in Long Beach for transforming my backyard into a beautiful oasis.  Joe and his crew were fantastic, hardworking and always on time.  My artificial turf  is soft and clean for my kids and dogs to play on.  There are not chemicals needed, no pesticides, etc.  The turf is non allergic and doesn't make you itchy.  It is safe, non toxic, lead free and it won't hurt the kids or dogs.  Year round the grass is green with little to no maintenance and never tracks mud or dirt into the house.  They also mentioned the artificial turf is fire retardant.  It will melt at 250 degrees, but will not catch fire.  I just love my turf and want to thank everyone for helping me with my yard.

The customers near where I do installations are a good mix of rural and residential. Lately I've noticed a lot of customers ordering turf for their farms. I've heard that if you put the pet turf under most farm animals, it makes the cleaning process a lot easier. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from residential customers as well. I recently just became a partner, so I'm not too familiar with all the accessories yet. Still doing my research on the different infills to see which one's I should offer in the future. So far so good though, loving the turf!

The thing that separates GST from the rest of the competition is that they have amazing sales reps. They know the game inside out and I can always rely on them to give me the best advice whether it's regarding installation, turf selection, or turf accessories. I recently had a customer that was interested in bed rock edging and I had never done a job like that before, so I asked Lee from GST how I would install something like that. He gave me a detailed breakdown of what I needed to do and it came out perfectly. Can't thank you guys enough, saved me many times.

I want to thank Global Syn Turf for referring me their distributor here in San Diego.  I wanted to surprise my husband with a putting green in our backyard before he came back from active duty.  The dealer here in San Diego was so great as he helped me design the putting green and backyard synthetic turf.  He also rushed his crew to get the job finished in time before my husband returned from overseas.  Todd the owner of the company took a lot of time to help with the undulation of the green which means the slope of the green.  Our green is not flat it has slight undulations which create different breaks when the ball is putted.  We have five putting green holes, some with left to right breaks, some with right to left breaks, some uphill puts and some downhill putts.  Todd even ordered us some lights that go in the putting green cups that light up the hole, the pole and the flag.  The light is actually bright enough that it lights up most of the backyard when the other lights are out.  If I could send pictures of what  great job Todd did I would post them.  We took a lot of before pictures of our backyard and after pictures.  The yard looks amazing.  My husband came home last night and saw his new putting green lit up in the backyard.  Of course he was happy to see his family, but he was very happy to see his new putting green.

I want to thank Global Syn Turf for all their help and patience with my backyard artificial turf project.  I am so picky and particular with everything and I know I may seam difficult at times.  My great experience with Global Syn Turf started with a very nice Sales Rep at Global Syn Turf named Clint.  He was very smart and very informative about artificial grass.  He sent me some samples and made recommendations that were very helpful to me.  I was torn between the Super Sierra 94 and the Super Natural 80 and din't know what to do.  Clint referred me to The Global Syn Turf Distributor and Installer in Orange County.  This is where I met Joe and he sent me to 8 different turf installations that used the Super Sierra 94 and the Super Natural 80.  This told the real story, after seeing the artificial turf installed I was convinced the Super Natural 80 was the turf for me.  Joe is the most attentive installer and once again was very patience with how particular I am.  He took the time to really explain exactly was the procedure and the process would be installing my artificial turf yard.  He told me exactly how high the turf would be over the hardscape, how much tear out he was taking out, how much base he would use, how compacted the base would be, what he was going to do with the sprinklers, how well he would clean when the job was done, what time he and his crews would show up and leave each day.  Joe was my guy and followed through with everything he promised.  I would refer Global Syn Turf and the Orange County dealer installer Joe anytime.

There are many things you need to consider before buying artificial.  To name a few you need to find a good artificial turf company you want to work with and you think are worthy of your business.  Next, what Kind of turf you want in your yard.  Do you want tall, short, light green, dark green, with brown thatch, green thatch or no thatch at all.  Do you want nylon or Polypropylene?  Do you want multi color configurations or one color grass.  Do you want soft turf or do you want stiff blade high traffic area turf?  Do you want to keep your sprinklers in for cooling and rinsing the turf.  Now you can see there a lot of things you need to considering when buying artificial turf.  

Here is what I did.  I gave a 5 star rating to Global Syn Turf for being the actual artificial turf manufacturer and giving me a real manufacturer's warranty for 15 years.  They sent me a lot of artificial turf samples for free and the representative on the phone walked me through all their different turf choices.  I ended up purchasing the SuperNatural 80 through their artificial turf dealer in Los Angles.  Thanks again...

Turf is perfect in California no matter the weather conditions. We recently got out of a drought in which we saw a lot of people's lawn's slowly die over time. Not only was turf great for that time, but it also helped save water. Nowadays, we get some rain here and there, which from what I've heard, helps clean the turf naturally. Even on days when the weather is extremely hot, GST turf doesn't seem to have any issues for my customers.

I wanted to get artificial turf and I wanted to find something that wasn't hot.  I know artificial turf gets hot because my neighbor has turf and it gets hot in the sun.  I found a company called Global Syn Turf online that has a turf called Cool Blue that has a hollow blade that holds water and in turn making the artificial turf cooler.  They also told me they have a turf infill that makes the turf 30-50 degrees cooler.  The infill is called T-Cool and it absorbs water and evaporates the water over the next 2-3 days making the turf cooler.  I only know this because I have the Cool Blue installed in my yard with the T-Cool infill in my backyard.  The representative at Global Syn Turf recommended the whole set up for me.  They said I did not need Pet Turf for my dogs and that all artificial turf is pet friendly.  I want to thank Global Syn Turf and their distributor in Riverside who did an amazing job installing the turf.  

I just had artificial turf installed by the local Global Syn Turf distributor.  I have two dogs and ordered the Pet Turf.  Their Pet Turf is shorter and has three times as many holes in the backing for great drainage.  The drainage rate of this turf is one of the best I have found when shopping for turf for my yard.  This Pet Turf is 1.25" tall which makes ti easy for the dogs to run and most importantly easy to pick up after them.  The stitch gauge is .375" wide which gives this turf a very tight weave which I found works better for the dogs vs. a turf with very loose and wide spread blades.  The Pet Turf has a 77 oz. per sq. yd. weight which makes this a very sturdy hefty turf.  The color is a beautiful Emerald Green and Olive Green.  The blades are evenly dispersed throughout which makes it look real and natural.  I also found this turf is to be very slip resistant especially when it is wet.  When my turf is wet and the dogs are running they never slide around and seem to grip the the turf very well.  This turf has a curly thatch blade as well which is green and brown.  The brown turf really makes the artificial turf look natural.  The turf is lead and heavy metal free and lastly it is non flammable.  Yes it has a melting point but it will not catch fire which give me a comfort level.  Lastly, I spoke with a representative at Global Syn Turf and their distributor about cleaning and disinfecting.  Both parties were consistent in their message about cleaning.  They said you need to rinse the synthetic turf often to flush the dog urine through the turf to the natural soils.  You also have to use a disinfect to disinfect the artificial turf on occasion.  I asked how often do you need to do this and they told me if I ever smell urine in my backyard.  That might mean every week or every two months.  It depends on the size of your yard, the size of the dog as to how often you may need to disinfect.  They said to spray a good disinfectant on the artificial turf and don't dilute the liquid, let is sit on the turf for 2-3 hours and then rinse it very well.  If you stay on top of this it should last you a life time.  Well I am giving Global Syn Turf 5 Stars for this fabulous looking artificial turf.

Nowadays there are so many turf suppliers to choose from, but I say with confidence that GST is at least top 3. They just have so many turfs to choose from. That alone is already hard to beat since you would need a lot of inventory space to keep all that in stock at all times. I noticed that a lot of the smaller suppliers have a hard time keeping up in stock, which is understandable. However, if you're looking for a big reliable supplier, I don't think you'll ever have issues with GST.

Nowadays, the turf quality from different suppliers is relatively similar. However, I prefer GST because their team is the most experienced and our transactions always go smoothly. Their service representatives are some of the best in the industry that I've met and I never have any questions that are left unanswered. For me, it's important that my turf supplier cares about their customers, which is why I give a big vouch for GST!

Finding a good turf supplier has become increasingly difficult with the whole pandemic going on. However, GST was the answer for me during these tough times. I ordered a few samples of the S blade series and instantly fell in love with the quality and feel of it. Ever since, it's become my best selling product in my landscaping business. I've still yet to try out the rest of GST's selection, but I'm sure they're solid as well based off of what I've heard. 

The durability on GST's turf is excellent. Many of my clients buy the Trainers Turfs for soccer or football fields. I've even seen someone use it for a T-ball field at a middle school. The build is able to hold up well even in under heavy usage which is exactly what you need in a trainer's turf. Very smooth transactions and no issues at all with the order processing team as well. Looking forward to future business with GST for sure!

Most of my customers are pet owners who are looking to replace their lawns with something more pet friendly. GST's pet turf has extra permeability so it's super easy for me to market for my customers and they usually love it. The only thing I would request is that they come out with more colors specifically for their pet turf. I would also love to see increased drainage in the other models maybe as an add on option so that any turf can be used as pet turf! Overall though, very satisfied.

The weirdest part about moving from a small supplier to GST was that the difference in selection is day and night. I'm so used to not having enough turfs to choose from but now my dilemma is that I have so many to choose from, I can't even make a decision. Obviously this is a good thing so I'm not really complaining. I also appreciate how GST has consistent quality among their grasses. I don't like it when I have to wonder if the turf I'm buying is going to drop in quality compared to the same one I bought just a few days ago. No complaints from me here, cheers

Just want to give a big thanks to GST for being a consistent turf supplier. It's nice knowing that they always have what I need in stock with dozens of turfs to choose from. My customers are happy with their lawns afterwards as well. If you're reading this wondering whether or not to choose GST as a supplier, look no further! After all, you can request a sample and see their products before becoming a partner which is exactly what I did. Big vouch for GST, these guys are legit.
