Fence and driveway

Jay and his crew installed a new interlock driveway, removed 140' of fence surrounding my yard, and replaced it with new. Great work, fast and left everything very clean. Jordon the crew leader took the time to finish everything with care. We are very happy with the finished product.
Great job guys!

New Backyard Patio

We had a stone patio built by Green Side Up in June, and it was a pleasure working with Jay, Jordan and their team. Everyone was polite and hard working, and did a fantastic job on the patio. Not only did they do great work, but they also avoided having to remove our mature cedars, and rented a special mini excavator that they could fit through our side gate. Their estimate was reasonable, and Jay was very good about keeping us in the loop about the stages of the project, whether it was updating us on the project schedule, or discussing material options. He is a great guy - so easy to talk to and work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Our son is obsessed with 'diggers' and Jay let him sit in the machines to experience the 'real thing'. The final product is absolutely beautiful, with nice slate stones and natural stone steps. They completed the project on time, and exceeded our expectations.

stump removal

Jay is awesome. He was very prompt to reply to our request on a quote as well he held true to the arranged appointment time even through a peak season. Jay offered us varying solutions to choose from. In the end we had decided to hold off until the following season on the project, however he still set us up with his arborist in the meantime. Jay’s kindness and generosity is overwhelming and we truly look forward to working with him and his team in the future.

Garden fence

We went 50/50 with a neighbour. All went quickly and very efficiently. A few problems at the end were fixed immediately and with absolutely no issue. Friendly and accommodating throughout.

Re-sodding, garden care, weekly lawn service

I've used Homestars numerous times in the past (windows, wet basement, new driveway) and have always had excellent contractors as a result. So when we needed a landscaper, I naturally went to Homestars again, and found that I really appreciated what others had written about Jay and his team at Green Side Up. We had a backyard that was overrun by weeds and was in desperate need of re-sodding. We also wanted the front and back gardens looked after, as well as weekly lawn service. Jay is an honest and forthright guy who is passionate about what he does - this is evident the moment you meet him, and as the work went on, he never loses his passion! He delivered a very fair quote and guaranteed excellent service. Whenever i’ve emailed Jay about a question or two, he responds very quickly - great service is clearly a key part of his business, and he truly delivers on it. We now have had much of the work done already (the resodding of the back, the gardens front and back look wonderful now, as well as spring clean-up completed and his high-end fertilizer put down - lawns are a lush green now) and the weekly service provided by Grant and his crew is thorough, and they leave the place very clean before they go. They always show up when they say they will, and they always do a thorough job. I’m very happy with Jay and his whole crew, I look forward to being with them a long time, and having found them on Homestars, I’m very happy and confident in recommending them to other Homestar users.

Hi Warren,

It seems like it's been "forever" since I saw you. I'm very happy to hear from Grant that the sod we laid looks awesome. Grant will be by this week to do the fall clean-up. Thank you for your business. Thank you for your positive feedback.

We would welcome your business in the spring!

Cheers,

Jay

New Sod and Property Maintenance

Jay and his Green Side Up team have been great. They had been providing the property maintenance for my neighbor and I had to finally find out who was getting his lawn so green.

I spoke to Jay about some new sod I needed and for property maintenance for the year. Jay came out to the house right away and provided a very fair quote for both. Jay scheduled the project a month out. He contacted me two days prior to the scheduled start date to confirm. On the originally scheduled date, Jay and team his team showed up first thing in the morning and laid the sod on a large portion of my yard and it already looks great.
Mostly due to Jay taking the time to make extra trips up to my house on the long weekend to make sure the grass was being watered as I was going away.

I have found Jay and Green Side Up to go the extra mile and I’m looking forward to Jay and his team making sure that my lawn will be as Green as my neighbors

Shrub removal, sod and planting bed preparation

Thank you Jay and crew. I am so very pleased with the work that was done to our front yard. I know this wasn't a huge job for your company but I appreciate that the work was done when it was promised to be done. The end result is perfect and the price was very fair. When I first met Jay, he was also collecting for the local food bank which impressed me - a company that gives back to the community. If I could rate Green Side Up higher than a 10 I would!

Spring Clean Up

Both professional and friendly Green Side Up did an amazing job.
There was great communication with Jay and the two guys on the job worked a long hard day. The work was complete and well done. That same evening Jay appeared to have a look at their work. Great follow up. I recommend Green Side Up and am using them for fertilizing this summer and for our fall clean up.
