Fence re-build

Jay & his crew did a very good job of re-building a mutual fence shared with a neighbour. We appreciate the solid foundation the new posts make - it's a damp location. Patio stones and a retaining wall that were moved to permit access were put back in place and are better positioned than before! Superficial clean-up was satisfactory though not excellent.

Hi Marian,

Thank you for your business and for your feedback. It was a pleasure to work for you and I was glad that we were able to facilitate between you and your neighbour.

As for the clean up is concerned, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Although the downpour of rain had made the swale a bit of a mud pit, the clean up should have been completed at a level of excellence! In our industry, doing a thorough clean-up is very important and is part of our daily routine.

I apologize that the clean-up wasn't up to par. I only wish you would would have told me, I would have come over myself to take care of it.

Thank you again, and have a great winter.

Regards,

Jay Saveall

Replacing all sods, landscape for the backyard, building an outdoor storage/backdoors and front yard paving block

We are very happy with Jay and his team. Jay was able to work within our budget and gave us the best option. He was honest when the project would go over budget and let us know right away. When his team was not able to start on the agreed starting date due to weather or delayed in his other project, he let us know in advance. They finished in 5 days for all the projects. I already recommended Jay to another friend of mine and would do it again in the future.

Snow Removal and Landscaping

We first contacted Green Side Up for our snow removal in our newly purchased home in Aurora in the winter of 2014/2015.

After being very satisfied with Jay's willingness to add us in last minute to his route and his team's professional attitude and workmanship we decided to use them for our landscaping project.

We had jay replace our entire backyard sod and plant 7 new cedars for extra privacy.

We were very satisfied with the quality and efficiency of his team.

Would recommend to anyone!

Backyard patio

Jay is a very outgoing guy and easy to work with. I'm quite specific in what I want and he tried his best to accommodate each of my request. Jay and Jordan installed a stone interlocked patio with wooden stairs, I had a hard time in finding the stone colour and Jay suggested to go with Huron which turned out to be amazing. They finished it in 2 days, I couldn't believe how fast it is and the workmanship is very good. My patio looks awesome now, thank you guys!!

Landscaping

Green Side Up installed a retaining wall, walkway and garden. It was a pleasure to work with Jay and his team throughout the process. The stone work is beautiful. Our project was relatively small, but Jay made it a priority. I highly recommend Green Side Up and would use them again in the future.

Thank you for your feedback Heather. I also wanted to thank you for sharing our contact information with your neighbours. Two of your nieghbours absolutely loved what we did at your home, and we are currently working with them on a design that suits their property.

I will be sure to stop by and say hello in the spring when we start these two projects.

Thank you very much for your business.

Front And Back Yard Make Over

Our paving and landscape project was enormous and we could not be happier! Jay and his team spent a month completely renewing our one-third acre property. We now have reshaped and reconditioned flower beds, mulched beds and cedar hedges, two 20’ x 20’ paved patios and a circular fire pit pad, and a totally redesigned front entrance with garden walls and new plantings. The workmanship is superb.

Jay is a pleasure to work with. His quote was absolutely transparent. He began the job a day earlier than scheduled, and he delivered on every promise. Most important, Jay is a great communicator. You can’t anticipate everything in a job of the size we undertook. You have to figure some things out along the way. Jay has knowledge and ideas. He listens and collaborates. The result for us was that we got something more wonderful than we had expected or envisioned at the start of the project.

Jay and his team are committed to quality. The project foreman, Jordan, is highly skilled in all aspects of the job, and he is a master craftsman when it comes to mitering stone. I had never seen anything like it. Crew members Gabe, Matthew, Chris, and Jackie were hard workers, quick to understand and act on requests, flawlessly considerate, and just plain fun to get to know. A thoroughly likeable crew is not a frill. It’s the difference between a nightmare and a shared adventure.

Jay and his team were also considerate of our neighbors. They apologized for the disruptions on the street and swept the street to minimize the mess each night. One neighbor’s sprinkler head was damaged and Jay had an expert there the next day to make everything right.

We enthusiastically recommend Green Side Up. We are enjoying our new outdoor living space and very thankful that we had a chance to work with talented, creative, hardworking, honest, thoroughly enjoyable people.
