Walkway and garden wall

Our front walkway was made of builder patio stones, and had major drainage issues since a downspout emptied across it. Since I was already a lawn care/snow removal client of Jay's, I contacted him to replace the front walk with interlock, to bury the downspout and to add a garden wall. The work was completed yesterday, and I couldn't be happier. What a transformation! We've already had our first rainstorm, and it was wonderful to be able to leave my house without having to wade through inches of standing water. Jeremy and his helper John were very professional, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I was also impressed that Jay came by with his level a couple of hours after the project was done to check the drainage, and to remove the last unused stones. I strongly recommend Green Side Up!

Interlocking

My rental property had interlocking done by the previous owner. The interlocking was not professionally done and had all kinds of stability, weeds and water issues. I called Jay for advise and he came to the site and recommend how to correct the issue at a reasonable cost. He provided a time line and finished the project within the given time. I was amazed with the quality of work as I saw the team pull the entire place apart and fix the core of the problem. The follow up was great as I just left the team to work and they kept me posted on the progress made. The property looks amazing now and requires minimum maintenance on a regular basis. Thank you Jay and team for the quality of workmanship, honesty and integrity. I'm extremely happy and am looking forward to working with you on my next project!

Sodding Lawn

I am so pleased with my new lawn, so thank you Jay and Green Side Up for everything! I purchased my house when there was still snow on the ground, so I was very disappointed when I realized the condition of the lawn after the thaw. Green Side Up exceeded all expectations starting from my initial inquiry all the way to the end. I am very pleased with the end result and with the exceptional customer service throughout every interaction I had with them. I would definitely recommend Green Side Up to anyone!

Hi Carly, thank you for your feedback. Five weeks later, we are too are very happy with results. Looking back, it's kinda funny how we didn't even meet until two weeks after the project was completed. I was able to keep you in the loop electronically by providing you updates and pictures as we progress through to the end of the job. Thank you for putting your trust in Green Side Up. Regards, Jay

Overgrown Garden

I had given up on a small garden overrun by weeds at the side of the house. I found Green Side Up on Homestars and gave Jay a call. He came by the house within a day and provided a solution and reasonable price for the job. The best part is that he was able to provide a short turnaround time. Jay set a time to come, came on time as promised and proceeded to make short work of the disaster. The result is great. We are very happy. Jay and his team were fantastic- they wanted the job to go well and for us to be happy. Quality and customer satisfaction is a reality with Green Side Up. We are already planning for Jay and his team to return to tackle the front.

Landscaping

I just want to echo what my wife has written about Jay and his team. What I appreciated most about working with Green Side Up is the sense that I was a valued customer and not just a sucker. Jay values you as a customer and is anxious that his customers have good experiences. He doesn't 'nickel and dime' on the job either.In the process of working on the lawn, Jay and I agreed that I needed a new retaining wall. He agreed to build one at no extra charge other than the lumber - and he made sure to provide a copy of the receipt. Unlike the majority of experiences I've had with this industry, Green Side Up has excellent customer service. Jay either answers his phone immediately or calls back on the same day.

While we worked with Green Side on sod installation this time, I'm confident there will be more business with them in the future.

Front and Backyard Sod

After contacting nearly a dozen other companies (where most didn't even call back!), Jay called us and was a lifesaver! He was responsive, honest and offered competitive prices for our project. He always responded when he said he would, kept up with our agreed timeline and initial quote, and was an overall pleasure to work with. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the results and look forward to working with his team again.

Lawn Makeover

Our front lawn had a bunch of random plants and bushes from the previous owner and was a huge eyesore in the neighborhood. We contacted Jay to have him dig up all the plants and trees from our front lawn, side of our house and backyard and have sod put down and cedar trees planted. We also had him remove 2 lilac trees and an apple tree from our property as well as it was attracting way too many bees. After Jay and his team started their work on our property, they discovered that we had a grub issue. Jay gave us a complementary treatment which immediately took care of the problem. This was quite a big job but Jay and his team were super quick and did a fantastic job. The transformation is truly amazing and we could not be happier! Jay always kept us updated with the progress through emails and phone calls and even sent us pictures as they were working. Jay truly cares about his customers and always gives us useful tips on keeping our lawn healthy. We would definitely recommend his services to our friends and family.
