Backyard Makeover

We are very pleased with the work Jay and his team did in re-making our backyard. They listened to our ideas and offered suggestions. They kept us up to date and were quick to respond before, during and after the project. Most importantly, the final product is fantastic - the new fence, patio and refresh to the back steps all look great.

Front entry steps and Flake stone covering porch

Prompt response. Immediate reply for any questions. He had to change number of steps as planned earlier. He responded and accommodate my concern although with added cost which was reasonable.

Landscaping

Green Side Up was a random call for us after searching Landscapers on the Home Stars web site. Jay immediately returned our call and he did not waste any time coming to meet us in person to talk about our needs. It did not take more than the one meeting for us to know that he understood our needs and had the skills and knowledge to get the job done. Jay stayed with us through the entire project, showing up on our doorstep whenever we had questions about design or process. His team was friendly, efficient, always arrived when they were expected and provided quality workmanship. Jay and his team worked to expedite our project in these busy summer months and the work was done very quickly without inconvenience to us. We would highly recommend Green Side Up, so much so that we had them back again a month later to help us with some backyard work! Their work is stunning we are so pleased, my kids were very sad to see Jay and his special little puppy go so we will have to find something for them to do for us next summer!

Awe! Thank you J.H

You and your husband were a pleasure work for and your kids are awesome and maybe I can count on them if we need a puppy sitter for Fleetwood lol.

Thank you for your kind words and referring us to your neighbour. Let me know in winter if you want to move forward with your poolside deck.

Thanks again!

Backyard patio

It was a pleasure having Green Side Up complete my backyard patio. Jay did a great job offering ideas for the project, and his whole team was very accommodating throughout the process. The patio looks great, and I am finally able to enjoy my backyard.
I look forward to doing the front porch next year!

Top notch quality work with great office and field team

I had a section of my fence replaced in August 2016. It was a pleasure to deal with Jay the owner. No nit picking about minor variation from original plan. He certainly set a high standard which really cascades down to the field team which include another Jay, Daniel and Jason as well as the office team Ada and Bridget. I receive constant updates on the status of the job and professional and courteous answer to every question I asked. Most importantly, the final product and quality was just as Jay has promised. No surprise there. I believe mine is relatively a very small job but the team's attention to detail was truly inspiring. My neighbors place their trust in me to find a good contractor and I am glad I convince them to choose Jay in spite of cheaper quotes from other contractors. I should thank the other users of HomeStars for their reviews which are extremely helpful with my selection process.

Landscape retaining wall

From day one Jay was extremely knowledgeable and realistic giving me guidance on what I wanted done. He was very reasonable and accommodating to various things that happened throughout the project. I trusted him and his teams ability to complete the job while we were out of town. It was wonderful to come back and see exactly what we have envisioned. He even went above and beyond to move extra material we were not expecting to have, at no additional cost. We look forward to recommending jay and his team to friends and family. Thanks for your open communication and your great work.

Great "wood wall" of China!

I had contacted 4 contractors to acquire a quote on having an 8 foot fence built in place of our old 6 foot deteriorating fence since we live beside a commercial property as well as a main road. The fence was much needed due to privacy and consistent noise. We decided to choose GreenSideUp because Jay was the most easy to communicate with, his price was the best and he does not contract the work out. The entire crew was very hardworking, even during the hottest days we've had this Summer. It would be extremely brutally hot outside and they would be out in our yard working away regardless. They were very friendly to speak with, easy to communicate with and they were able to answer any questions I had. Not only did they do an amazing job with our fence and our gate, but they also helped us do a minor fix for our shared fence with our residential neighbour, and plant a bush at the end of our new fence in an area where it could not extend to without charging us. We would highly recommend them to anyone. We now have an extremely sturdy, beautiful, high quality, excellent workmanship fence that will last for many many many years! Thank you so much to Jay and his amazing team!! We are hoping to use them again to remodel our front fence steps :)

Hi J.F,

The great "wood wall" of China - lol!

As someone that has had bad experiences with contractors in the past, I wanted to say a personal thank you for putting your trust in Green Side Up.

We are looking forward to the re-vamp of your front entrance in the upcoming weeks.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness to my guys. You were a pleasure to work for.

update main entrance way of house

My home is over 30 years old and the main entrance into the home is original. Jay and his capable crew did fantastic work widening the area with interlocking stone and running it down to the sidewalk.

The crew arrived early in the morning, were very friendly and professional. They had clean company shirts and decent work pants on. They interacted with me throughout the day and were an all-round good group. Any interaction I had with Jay prior to and during the job was great.

At the end of the day the work was done, they did an amazing job cleaning up the area. I will recommend this company to my friends.

Fence repair

We needed repairs done to our fence. We contacted 3 different companies and Green Side Up was the only one willing to do repairs. Everyone else either did not do repairs or simply never got back to us. They even came a week ahead of schedule. The crew did a great job. We would highly recommend Green Side Up.
