Green Side Up Contracting

Our fence came down in the storm a few weeks ago and I was given a referral from a friend to call Green Side. Even though Jay wasn’t sure if he was getting the job, (my neighbor was also getting a quote) Jay was kind enough to install a temporary snow fence to appease the bylaw office of Aurora. That speaks volumes as to the kind of service you can expect from this company. We will definitely do business with them in the future!

Professional and efficient and fast, unbelievable response to the customer request, we asked for a certain time to finish the fence, that was done in less than one and half days. Zach is a professional carpenter and very efficient.
We recommend Green Side Up Contracting company for all landscape projects.

It was a pleasure working with Jay and his team on a fence replacement. The company is very professional in its approach which made the project go very smoothly from beginning to end. Jay replied quickly to any questions I had before the job started and his team patiently answered my questions as the job progressed. An unexpected complication was large concrete blocks below ground where some fence posts were supposed to go, which added time to the project. Jay did not charge for the extra cost of having to deal with the concrete blocks, which included the removal and disposal of one concrete block. I am happy with the final product, and importantly, so are my neighbours who shared in the cost.

Jay and his crew, especially CJ, built a great deck for us in under two weeks. The job was done well and very professionally. Thank you Jay and CJ for the fabulous deck!

This company was efficient from the very beginning. They answered my query promptly and sent someone out almost immediately to do an estimate. It took only 3 partial days to complete the work. They were very pleasant, efficient and left the property in a perfect state after completion. I am extremely happy with my new fence and would recommend this company highly.

Jay and Zach were absolutely wonderful to work with. Not only did they deliver on their timeline promises but they put a lot of passion into their projects. Our fence and stairs were actually terrifying and now they are beautiful!! I will be telling all my friends and fam to work with Green Side Up in the future, should they have outdoor landscaping needs.

Thanks, guys!

Several sections of our backyard fence came down during the wind storm in March and again in May.
We were fortunate to find Green Side Up through the many wonderful reviews on HomeStars.
Jay answered my initial call and indicated that he was in my area. He arrived within 7 minutes and we were soon establishing a business relationship due in large part to his personable nature.
Jay is very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. The quote we received was very detailed and fair; an estimated project start date was provided. True to his word, the project began on time.

We had the pleasure of meeting some of the crew; Daniel, Matt and Grant. They were all extremely hard working, efficient, tidy and so very polite.

We have had several of our neighbours comment favorably on our new fence. Thank you Green Side Up, we are extremely pleased and would definitely recommend Jay and his crew for a fencing project.

We originally contacted Jay last fall to get a quote on a replacement of our front walkway and driveway.

After discussing our requirements, Jay suggested that we engage a designer due to the complexity of the requirements. We hired a designer that Jay has worked with in the past (Margarita) and she produced an excellent design which incorporated the elements that we were looking for.

With drawings in hand, we re-engaged with Jay and booked the work for the spring.

We were Jay’s 2nd project this spring so Pat and his crew got started in early April. Due to the weird weather patterns that we encountered in April, the work had to be delayed a couple of times (i.e we had a snow storm after the initial excavation work was completed). Despite the weather issues, Pat and crew moved forward quickly and kept us informed of the progress through the various stages. Jay and Fleetwood also made regular visits throughout the project lifecycle to ensure that we were satisfied with every step in the process.

We had scheduled another company to install irrigation and lighting systems and Pat effectively coordinated with them to make sure that everything was installed smoothly. I should mention that we used the Imperial Crew for the irrigation and lighting on Jay’s recommendation, and they were excellent as well (they aren’t on Homestars so thought I’d give them a shout out here).

We are very happy with the way the project turned out (see pictures) and will certainly use Green Side Up again for future projects. I’m already talking to them about a fence replacement and new backyard patio

Jay and Matt and the Green Side Up team did a fabulous job on our replacement wooden retaining wall and fence. We are absolutely thrilled with the result and the professionalism demonstrated by Jay’s crew! Even when the sudden onslaught of winter and extreme cold hit us in December 2017 the crew kept on working until the ground frozen solid and New Years was approaching. The new stone patio rocks! They kept their work areas organized and even set up a temporary fence to keep our dogs from leaving the backyard while the old fence was down and during the construction of the new retaining wall. They designed a cool new railing system for us as well to ensure bylaw compliance. We would recommend Green Side Up to anyone!

We have a terrific new deck and shed to enjoy care of Green Side Up! Jay was really easy to deal with and his quoting process provided the advice we needed to get the best result. His carpenter, CJ, took a lot of care and detail and this resulted in a high quality job. There were several decisions that needed to be made along the way and they were open and understanding to suit our needs. I would highly recommend them for any type of deck/shed work and they will be our go to for other outdoor projects.
