Green Side Up Contracting

When Jay asked me if I would be willing to write a review on the work Green Side Up did around my pool this past summer I was delighted!

I found out about Green Side Up through a neighbour who had their drive and walkway interlocked in 2011. They did an amazing job, and the house really stood out from the rest. We are in a fairly new community, my neighbour was the first to do any real landscaping and since then many others have followed suit, keeping the design similar to my neighbours. I mention this as the stone design of the driveway is truly beautiful. This was designed by the team at Green Side Up.

My husband and I had met with three reputable landscaping companies including Green Side Up. Although Green Side Up were not the cheapest, they were the most professional and the most honest. We both picked up a very positive vibe from Jay and one of his guys when they came to scope out the project.

It took several visits to our place for them to lock down a final design for our backyard and pool area, but they did it. Once the design was put together Jay came back once again to review it with my husband and I. We both liked the plan. At the same time Jay thoroughly went through the pricing with us and reviewed the project timeliness. Everything was documented on a contract including a diagram with the actual measurements. (we liked this part) We gave Jay the "A-okay" to proceed.

The project which included 1,500 square feet of interlocking stone around the pool, two pathways and four small gardens made out of armour stone was projected to take three full weeks. Two installments were required. The first payment was for the cost of the material and was due when the material arrived, and the second payment was due when the project was completed.

Although the project took four weeks due to some rain we received the project did stay on budget and we were able to enjoy the second half of the summer enjoying the work that was done by Green Side Up. Both my husband and I have received many compliments on our "back yard paradise" and we have passed along this companies name to many people.
