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!!

Hi Maria,

Thank you very much for your feedback. You and Edwin were great to deal with. As you know, I'm looking very forward to designing and building you a front entrance that will be designed to "wow!"

Thank you very much for your business.

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.

front yard landscaped

Team was there promptly, they all worked diligently and cleanly according to plans they were given. These guys give 100 percent plus. Jay is honest ,fair and a pleasure to do business with. We would recommend him without hesitation. Kudos also to his right hand man Jordan who keeps the ball rolling when Jay is needed elsewhere.

it was great working with jay. he was very informative and completed the job on time. he listened to my concerns and went above in order to satisfy my needs. very honest and only did what was needed. his quote was right on and there were no "surprises" in any added costs unlike other landscapers that i had used in the past.
i would gladly use jay and his crew again.

patio/driveway pad

Like many, I found Jay and his team on HomeStars. From the second, I contacted Jay we were so impressed. His efficiency, honesty, accountability and frankness were much appreciated. He got the job done exactly how we wanted and how he said it would be. He answered all our questions and did so with a smile on his face. His crew came and worked their butts off paying attention to detail and making sure they did the job precisely, with efficiency and made sure we were informed of things along the way . They made sure they cleaned everything up and made sure we were happy with the job. We even had a problem with our neighbour and the shared driveway. Whether or not it was true, to make sure relations weren't affected, Jay offered to take care of it.
We appreciated Jay and his team so much.I would highly recommend them to everyone. They are hardworking, honest and do excellent work. You won't be disappointed.

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

Jay and his team were incredible. We had a party coming up and wanted to have our new patio in before that. Jay worked hard, during his busiest time to accommodate us. We had some unexpected issues come up with the project but they handled them without an issue. They were such a pleasure to work with and I found that Jay really listened to us. The patio looks amazing and we couldn't be happier. We have more work we'd like to do to both the back and front of our house and we plan to have Jay and his team come back.

My wife and I were very impressed with the professional job done by "Jay" and his crew.Excellent work with many neighbours commenting how good it looks. After the job they cleaned the area and have called us back to ensure we were totally satisfied. Thanks and we will have more work in the future. John
