Green Side Up Contracting

I was totally satisfied with the work that was performed in a short period of time and in extreme hot temperature. Everything was cleaned up and I have positive comments ever since.

My wife wanted to transform our backyard as we have an active little guy. We had multiple contractors come over and present their ideas on how to transform the backyard but we didn't feel comfortable with anyone until Jay from Green Side Up showed up and discussed what they could do for us. We had a crazy timeline - needed everything done within 2 weeks from the day of the quote and the Green Side Up team rolled up their sleeves and made it happen. Jay is an honest and straight-forward person - he tells you his costs, he explains how they do the work and he works closely with you to make sure your vision is realized. After the second day of work, we realized the area of our patio was going to be too small. We called up Jay, explained what we needed and the team extended the patio with minimal fuss. How's that for flexibility? We chose a modern, contemporary stone and the results were fantastic. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Green Side Up as Jay, Richard, the entire crew (and Fleetwood) made our project amazing. Thumbs up to Green Side Up, we'll look forward to our next project together.

Jay and his crew have been doing a fabulous job with our lawn maintenance for a few years, and we have always been impressed with his genuine and professional nature as well as his reliability and promptness. We had been considering some transformational changes to our backyard and called Jay to quote on the first half of the project. His prices were definitely reasonable; additionally, he had good suggestions about how to proceed with replacing the deck which saved on the final cost.

The crew removed our old wrought iron fence around our pool, removed large, overgrown trees and bushes to open up the back yard, removed the old decking and replaced it with new pressure-treated floor boards and railings, built a beautiful pressure-treated fence and gate and lay down sod.

We are truly delighted with our new pressure-treated fence with horizontal boards, our new deck and our new, spacious lawn area. The work was done in a timely manner (less than a week) and Jay was in touch with us each evening (as we both were at work most days) about progress and next steps.

The next phase of our backyard transformation is the stonework around the pool and a new patio. We will be hiring Jay to do this work in the fall.

A bit pricy but the company did a good job: on budget and on time. Time will be needed to ascertain whether the creeping charlie returns or not. For the present we continue to water dutifully and the lawn continues to look good.

This company did exceptional work on my home! Jay, the companies owner, is a genuine, honest business owner with integrity and compassion. The project, unfortunately, was a rescue from a not so ethical company and owner. Saving this project and providing an excellent experience​​​ from start to finish; giving considerable attention to what we wanted and expected in the job, but maintaining a project timeline within the original scope agreed. Jordan and team were professional and considerate and worked at a pace rarely ​seen these days in the construction industry. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for landscaping and or maintenance requirements.

I am so enjoying the new look to my front yard and it makes such a pleasure to come home. The crew were very professional and very polite. They cleaned up after themselves each day and especially at the end of construction my yard was neat and tidy. If any changes needed to be made I was consulted immediately. I would be very proud to have this crew work for me. Even my neighbour commented positively about the crew. I also cannot say enough good words about the owner of Green Side Up. He came everyday to see the site and how it was progressing, definitely showing pride in his work. No hesitation on my part to hire Green Side Up again and in fact I look forward to help with my back yard in the near future.

Jay and his team helped us with our front yard and backyard makeover which has received many compliments from others in the neighbourhood. Jordan the foreman is a master craftsman who helped direct the team of skilled workers to complete the makeover efficiently within one week. I was looking for someone who is honest and does good quality work without cutting corners, and that's exactly what I got with Green Side Up. Their pricing was reasonable for the quality of work done, and we were able to stay on budget from the free quote that was provided. It's best to contact them by phone rather than e-mail for quicker responses to inquiries.

We found Jay through HomeStars while we were looking for someone to complete our front landscaping. Luckily we found Jay and his team! From start to finish, we could not be more happy with how everything turned out. Even though I can scrutinize and overanalyze my selections, Jay was more than patient and didn't apply any pressure for us to make a decision. He was always quick to answer any questions, calls and texts we had. We had our front portico floor and concrete steps refaced with flagstone and added an interlocked patio, substantial garden retaining wall and greenery. What we achieved was absolutely what we envisioned! Thank you so much again.

A couple years back Jay made some suggestions for some improvements I could make to my terrace. This year I decided to act on the ideas that Jay had suggested. The end result was amazing ... everything that Jay had recommended fit so well with on my terrace. As a plus, I had a short timeline that I was hoping to achieve and Jay was extremely flexible and delivered everything in the timeline I required. Could not say anything better about this experience! Very happy with my new planters and tree.

When I wanted to landscape my front and back yard, Green Side Up caught my attention with many favorable reviews. As I called Jay, he responded quickly. His quote was 50% lower than another garden builder, based on the same building specifications. Besides, he gave me a few constructive suggestions. The job was done in 10 days by his professional and amiable team led by Jordon, a responsive and flexible fellow with artistic touch. These guys are equipped with right tools and know well what they are doing. The quality and the look of the yard, especially the natural stone stairs and retaining wall have earned me many compliments. I am 100 percent satisfied, as Jay promised to guarantee.
