Green Side Up Contracting

We were looking at getting a few projects done this year to enjoy our outdoor space but had a few needs. From fencing, gate work, building a back patio and driveway extension.

I didn't want to deal with multiple contractors and wanted someone knew their stuff. I met with multiple contractors, all said they'll just build me what I want, without addressing my biggest concern, which was dealing with a huge sloping issue both in front and back. Jay was the only one that said we can't and won't do what you want because it'll fail and why. The honesty and professionalism was the start of our relationship. The detailed estimate was sent, which left no room for surprises and no changes were done without consultation.

First was the fence work. Jay had Daniel's team come, install new posts, fence and a new gate within 2 days work. Daniel kept me in the loop for finishing details, otherwise there was not much involvement on my end which was a relief. Swift clean up and on to the wait for the stone crew to come in.

Rob and his team came in after to work on the patio and driveway. Before starting the front or back, he took the time each time to first walk through the area and advise on any potential issues that may arise. Throughout the project, if there were any adjustments or decisions to be made, different options with pros and cons were always laid out. It made us feel happily at ease knowing someone who cared was doing the project. I was expecting a lot of material being laid out everywhere but to my surprise, they were super organized, and had deliveries in increments to the tune of only what's needed for the day. Before end of each workday, the work site was cleaned up, roads brushed and tools tucked away. Needless to say, my neighbours appreciated it also. The weather wasn't our friend during this process, but Rob's team fought through it and had our job completed on schedule.

This company certainly aims to please their clients. You are paying for great quality and peace of mind. My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone looking to have any landscaping done. Will look to use them soon again when we start our indoor renovation projects.

I found Green Side Up on HomeStars last fall. After reading a number of good reviews, I decided to give it a try. Jay was very responsive and came to visit my property to make initial assessment. Because of the irregular shape of the garden, he recommended a professional designer whose work proved to be so excellent.

Based on the design, Jay gave me a detailed quote listing each item. The projected started the end of April. Even with the restrictions of ongoing pandemic and shortage of staff and materials, Jay and his team managed to complete their part of the entire project on schedule. Throughout the whole time, they were efficient, professional and open to new ideas. I had such a good time working with Jay, Rob and their team members and other project teams Jay recommended including Rocco, Sam, Rob, Daniel and Israel etc. Thanks to their great work, I can fully enjoy my backyard oasis.

Daniel and his crew were very good to deal with and took pride in their work. Materials and installation work were of a high quality.

We had a very failing deck with a sun room on it and a fence that was on it's last legs and we asked Jay and company to replace the fence and deck.

First up we are absolutely thrilled with deck and fencing! The project came together even better than we had hoped. In addition working with Green Side Up has been one of the best contracting experiences we've have to date.

The crews have been incredibly fast and professional with their work. Jay has been responsive, transparent and an honest partner throughout this process.

We will absolutely be asking to work again with Green Side Up for future projects

Jay and his team are true professionals and amazing at what they do. We hired the team to put up a fence and they did an amazing job and ahead of schedule. My neighbour was not happy I was putting up a fence and caused some trouble for the team but they handled it really well and I truly appreciate their patience. Hiring this team again for their services is a no brainer. I would recommend them to my family and friends any day.

My cedar deck, which was 25 years old and approximately 375 sq feet, was in desperate need of replacing. I decided to go with Trex decking and spoke with several companies. I decided on Green Side Up. I was very impressed with the professionalism in obtaining a design and permit, choosing the colour, etc. Jay was also upfront with me about the estimated duration of the job and the start date. When the work began, the organization and smooth flow of everything was another indication to me that I had chosen the right company. On-site, Richard was the "main" man and his expertise, craftsmanship and attention to detail resulted in my absolutely stunning deck. He also took the time to answer all of my questions (and I had a lot) and had absolutely no hesitation in making any minor adjustments I wanted. All the guys were very respectful of my property and the cleanup was done thoroughly upon completion of the job. I am absolutely thrilled with my new deck and my dog is having a nice nap on it in the sunshine. His new favourite place.

I can't be more pleased with the work that Jay and his team (Matt and Stephan) have put in for our new Trex Deck with Trex Rain escape. From the quote, to the permits, to the extra features (Trex lighting on the steps, glass railings, full shed), they aim to please. They worked seamlessly with our other contractors and they were always available for my questions. They secured our supplies from the beginning and they were quick and efficient.

Well done Green Side Up! I highly recommend you.

Jay and his crew were so great to work with! I will definitely use them again for any future work I need done. I highly recommend them!!!

Jay, Rob and the entire crew are extremely professional and easy going! They transformed our boring backyard into a space we are going to enjoy for years to come.
Jay provided excellent service from the initial contact, inspection and quote and followed through on all areas agreed to, keeping us in the loop at all stages.
It was a pleasure to have such a fun, skilled team working on our project. Highly recommended and will be contacting for future projects!

We are really happy with this project. Jay and his team were great to deal with and the quality of work is first rate. The project started a bit later than originally planned due to unforeseen delays but once started the team completed the entire project in about a week. Unlike other contractors who may start a job and walk away and come back weeks later, Jay’s team stuck it out and finished…even in the middle of a heat wave. We would definitely use Green Side Up again and would refer others to them as well.
